Radon!!! Now why didn't i think of that??? Ha ha! Or it might be the increase in silvery minnows and spotted owls!

I do remember as a kid hearing my folks talk about some salt or ash present in...

I'm curious what your reasoning is - not meaning in any way to be argumentative, just curious:

Have you had bad experiences with it? Do you mean that something that was wet will increase the...

Thanks for your reply! That's all good stuff to know, and, honestly, I've been thinking for quite a while now that I need to have my home water tested. Water in NM is generally tasty and of good...

I kinda already said this, but the final test involving a razor which previously exhibited spots used in a 100% exclusive distilled water shave has proven my hypothesis correct: water in my area is...

I am also wondering if the local water is in fact the culprit. I live in the desert with an average daily humidity of less that 10%, I have left...

I love ballistol- I'd tried that before, but I might give it a shot again. I'd thought about the mineral oil essentially "trapping" moisture on the blade... The thing is that the blade is spotting...

Yeah... I honestly have no idea... I thought it was pretty bizarre. In fact most of my relatively intense after care razor routine revolves around multiple steps taken in an attempt to rectify this...

Ok, so I'm having an issue with my straights rusting almost immediately after shaving... The thing is that I'm noticing rust/discoloration spots developing on the blades generally before I'm even...
