Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Tom's Brush B-3 Badger
Brass TAR by Tom
Nacet Stainless
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with Tom's Brush B-3 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Brass TAR by Tom and the Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I got this Schick Band-Razor from Big W in New York. I will be having Schick Band-Razor Week next week. 

This razor dates back to 1966. Here is an ad from 1966 introducing the razor.

I made this video to compare the Gillette Techmatic with the Schick Band-Razor.

A fan of the Indian shaving community tells me about a craftsman: Mr Atul Chadha of Shavologist.
https://www.facebook.com/shavologist

https://www.shavologist.com/

Simple but well designed soap formulation.
Ingredients: Stearic Acid, Water, Coconut Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Coconut Milk, Potassium Hydroxide, Kokum Butter, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Sodium Hydroxide, 
Glycerin, Aloe Juice, Lanolin, Avocado Oil, Sodium Lactate, Sorbitol, Cetyl Alcohol, Citric Acid, Multusburry Extract, Sah Silk, Comfrey Extract.
Among the usual known, two more particular functional.

https://thebestorganicskincare.com/comfr...le-worker/

As we are used to, production is complete.
Soap yes, but also aftershave (both lotions, and balms) and EDC.
Through an interesting preshave soap.
Ingredients: Activated Bamboo Charcoal, Shea Butter, Kokum Butter, Mango Butter, Coconut Oil, 
Palm Oil, Castor Oil, Glycerin, Sweet Almond Oil, Jojoba Oil, Aloevera leaf extract.

For now, the site is set only on home distribution.
Formulations are not enabled to the (most stringent) European standards.
Prices are super cheap, as usually in that area.
Besides, it’s almost sold out.

But there are already many very positive experiences.

I think it has great potential.
I wrote to the craftsman.
I stand by.

  sous vide roast beef for sandwiches
Posted by: ShadowsDad - 01-19-2023, 03:49 AM - Forum: What's cooking - Replies (1)

Locally the price for roast beef deli cold cuts is $15/lb and that just isn't right. But what if it can be had for $2.99/lb? It can be. 
Our supermarket had bottom round on sale for $2.99 so I bought some. Sous Vide tenderizes and cooks it and when it's done in the bath it gets torched to brown it and make it taste roasted even though it never roasted for even a minute. Thin sliced it's excellent roast beef. 
If you can read a chart, set a thermostat, and open a water tap you can Sous Vide too. And what male doesn't like to play with fire? (Go ahead and pound your chest while making he man sounds.) All it takes is a Sous Vide water circulator and they are priced reasonably and can do far more than make roast beef for sandwiches. Give 'em time and maybe they'll be able to cut, split, and stack cord wood. 
The roast beef I made is all consumed, but while the price was low I bought another 5lb'er and it's in the freezer, fully cooked, and just waiting to be thawed, torched, and sliced.

I finally got to meet a more local shaver that I have chatted with over the years. He gave me a couple of nice Unmentionables. Over the years Michael has shared several razors with me. Great lunch today at Waffle house!!

I've been on the hunt for a lather catcher for a while ever since first saw Wchnu do a shave with one on YouTube which brought me to this forum .I learned a lot here, watched some more members YouTube ( Jayaruh ,@Dave in KY ).What I settled on looking for was a Every Ready. Right before Christmas I found an example of what I was looking for in acceptable condition at decent price on everyone favorite auction site. It finally came into today, It cleaned up nice .I am right to call this a 1907? The only issue with it was with the handle ferrule, the handle had had been over tightened a fair number of times over the years and the ferrule was loose and the handle wouldn't screw tight. I made quick fix with a leather washer fitted it under the ferrule to right thickness ,worked like a charm .I cant wait do the first shave with it.
