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!!

First time making some in a long time. I got it at the yearly festival the local Greek Orthodox church throws in September each year. With that in mind anyone like Greek food?
   

 Another vintage in the den to use.....
   
   
   

Hey Guys.... Miss Ya. 

Moved to other side of the World... Living in Southside Turkey on the Mediterranean and the Wife and I are absolutely loving every minute.!

Thanks Toby, for rattling my cage,!!

This place looks great,.... Ton of cool stuff for me to catch up on. 

I've been using my ER Lather Catcher or my Auto Strop A1 pretty much daily. You know, lots of other choices, but always seem to grab one of those... Always a guaranteed fabulous time. 

I'm teaching Jazz Improv, Music Theory, and Trumpet, Sax, Piano, on-line. All my students are from Pacific North-West, so I'm teaching at night ain my sound proof office at home. And I swim at least 45mins straight 5 days a week.

Because of so much online teaching time, I have been staying busy hanging either poolside or beachside away from my comp when not working. And with it sunny all the time, I can't really use my cell phone outdoors for internet hangs. It's soo easy to lose track of time. I am enjoying every min. But boom!! It's like months shoot by... WHEW!

Love what you cats have done with this place! Still the Best hang on the Web!!! Now I need to play catch up and do some reading here... You cats are Killin me... Lots of funny stuff going down here as usual! And a COMP PRESSED LATHER CATCHER!!!??? History is made once again, right here!!! Congratulations!!

I chanced upon a Superior Lather Catcher for a fixed price and shipping. The eBay Seller sent a reduced offer my way which I couldn't refuse. Posting photos here. It will take a few weeks to my place from the package forwarder in NY. Long wait begins.

Came over from TOST2 .....better late than never .  Some guys on here already know me from another site and for those that dont my name is Patrick... formerly 9nein9 on the TOST2 site. Im a fanatic for making my own razors from whatever I find laying around and I also make bruch handles when time pernits . I'm from Canada eh .
