I found this video on makingof  wooden Chess men for world tournaments. Very fascinating to see for those who admire good wood working. Especially Jayaruh

My only affiliation of the following product and company is as a full retail buyer of their product. Other than that I'm not connected to them in any way. When something is good I believe in letting folks know about it and when something is the pits I let folks know about that too.

I'm not much of a coffee drinker. In the AM I have a hot mug of faux Joe roasted grain beverage with half and half and half (Ha Ha! 1 1/2! Too funny. I'm leaving it.) and monk fruit extract to sweeten it. But every once in a while I want a pick me up during the day and that's when I want some caffeine. I recently discovered Ki Tu Super Coffee. They might have different flavors, but I have the mocha. It's clearly a keto beverage with 2 grams of net carbs and I have to tell you, it's absolutely delicious. It has MCT oil, 10 grams of protein, and did I mention delicious? Oh, and 200mg of caffeine.

Today I'm making another loaf of the King Arthur Flour low carb bread and I'm waiting for it to rise. Today in an effort to give it more flavor I used a bottle of wheat lager beer* as the liquid and 18 drops of wheat bread flavor from 1 on 1 flavors. It's the first time I've used this particular flavor... fingers crossed. Maybe I should have warmed the beer, it's taking forever to rise. 

The bread turned out good.

*Yes, I'm aware that it's giving it more carbs. But I sliced it extremely thin and got 19 slices and 2 ends that went to the dogs. The bread is good. What's a beer? 70 carbs? Lets use 100 carbs, and 20 slices. That's 5 carbs per slice and we're on the high side of the estimate. More than I would like but it's one way to give flavor to it. It's still a work in progress.

Anybody want? Buy it now listing on the bay.

Not mine and I don't want.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Cella Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
AutoStrop A2 Safety Razor
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lucky Tiger AS

The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silver Tip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A2 Safety Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

     
Another Lot Purchase came in the other day. Besides 2 Unmentionable  Razors, I was focused on one in particular...This one !!
   

It was VERY Tarnished
   
   

I gave it the Water, Baking Soda and Aluminum Foil Treatment and then a little polishing cloth work and 10 minutes later...........

I've been wanting to try to make a handle for a Schick E or G. I just couldn't bring myself to destroying a good original handle. Thanks to mayer57619 who sent me this razor head. (It was already missing a handle.) I used a drill press, band saw, table router and lots of hand sanding to make this acrylic/resin handle from a pen blank I picked up at my local Woodcraft.
BTW I'm terrible with razor I. D. Could someone kindly tell me which Schick this is?

               

Mine.


   

Thanks to a Member across the street I was able to get my hands on this tin of Williams Shaving Powder. 

Like all the vintage soap I have there is no scent other then just generic soap. It was sold to be 3/4 full. I think it is over that. Now I have to figure out how much it takes for a shave!

I've had goose eggs and they are OK, but I found the albumen to be rubbery, that's the best I can describe it. They're big eggs. They're not my favorite. They'd probably be better scrambled but I like runny yolks and the albumen fully set when I eat eggs. So not my favorite eggs. I never had enough to "play with" to try different ways to prepare them.

Homegrown (fresh) chicken hen fruit I have all the time and they are soooo much better than chicken ranch eggs from the supermarket no matter what claims are written on the carton to get someone to buy. They are much higher quality and as my wife will attest to I'm extremely picky about my eggs.

A local chicken keeper has started to sell both chicken and duck eggs and I never had duck eggs before. They are my new favorite egg. They have a much higher ratio of yolk to albumen and that's exactly what I want on my 1/2 slice of low carb toast. The over easy eggs go on top of the toast and the duck yolks are exceptionally creamy. I still like homegrown chicken eggs but duck eggs are better on my toast. I won't turn down a good chicken egg.

If you ever get a chance to try duck eggs, if you like a runny yolk, I highly recommend them. For those who can't tolerate chicken eggs duck eggs have a different protein and might be tolerated better.

Guinea fowl eggs also have a high yolk to albumen ratio and are delicious when they can be found. They are a denser egg. They don't lay in the coop (I allow true free range and they can wander up to 1/4 mile away) but instead they find where THEY want to lay. And as stupid as they are they can count, so it seems, and will abandon a nest if they catch me taking the eggs. One year I didn't find the nest until late and all the hens lay in the same nest. When I did find it it had over 130 rotten eggs in it. The garden appreciated the tilling in of the stinky little grenades (pop, pop, pop!).

In April 2011 @ “bird lives” started a SE and Injector party thread across the street. At that time TOST2 was closed. After 10 + years and. 1646 pages that thread is closed. 

This thread is closed.

Hi all. You may have noticed that we are doing some spring cleaning in the summer. The Safety Razors thread is a place to show various razors and discuss the razors themselves. It is not the place to post your daily shaves or unrelated posts. There's just way too much overlapping and redundant posting in this thread. Please post those in their appropriate area, the Shower or Shave (SoS) of the Day thread. Also feel free to start a new injector and/or SE thread but keep it on topic of the actual razors themselves.

Thanks all!


What a run!!
