And, tea and buns can definitely make the world a better place. We need a Wind in the Willows thread. Shall you start it or shall I?
Did Toad shave with a straight? Or Badger? It wouldn't have been Ratty or Mole...

I saw a wind in the willows/ tales of the riverbank either film or mini series with a few of the pythons in it, they seemed to be doing it almost in the style of a stage production, it was very good, my daughter, wife and I all enjoyed it.

I don't have much on top to begin with so Hair thickness isn't my problem. I think it may have something to do with hardness ?? as for W.I.T.W. I'm pretty sure Badger used a boar brush and probably a Sheffield blade. Peace out YO !

Well, I mean, what happen's normally? Some guy says hey, I'm Pedro and after a bunch of people say hello, hi, how are you, we all start conversing,chatting, 'all purposing' the interaction and conversation...

I don't know. Seriously, although I'm pretty sure it was he who instructed the Mole to 'whack them' and to 'make them make the beds properly; as you know how' (or words to that effect) he strikes me as being a mild fellow. Why wouldn't he pluck his own chest? Less confrontational than plucking another's...

The audio book I have is excellent, we always used to listen to it around the fire when camping. It's full of wisdom.

This is very true, and exactly how a conversation evolves, and in intro threads its all good, I saw a comment elsewhere about useful threads getting bogged down with lots of excess branches ( my words not theirs), that is usually the point at which anything pertinant has been said, its just the nature of it I suppose. If we had curators with a lot of time I think that the useful threads could be turned into mini articles for the wiki, but it would be a job and a half. And the thread would have to get closed to stop more being added to it, which would just mean someone else would start a new thread about it, which would descend into breezeshooting, which would get closed and added to the original article or turned into a new one, ad infinatum.
Anyway dont you want to be in the threadiverters (the name I came up with for our club)

Guys, i need some help.

Haha, it's serious but it's not urgent it's just a question, how hard is it to change the scales on your razor?

Phew, I was expecting something worse, like my razor has arrived but....
I havent done it, but it doesn't look too hard, but does require some skill and patience, it might be best to not try on your good razor, you can get a gold dollar for a few pounds on eBay, though any crappy cheap razor would do, you will also need some rod to pin it with, some washers, and the scales and if you are replacing it a new wedge.
There are a heap of threads in the workshop forum about it.
What's wrong with the scales on it?
