Same thing for me. I was working 100-120 hours a week yet my coworkers were just hanging out being paid for doing literally nothing but busy work. I pushed back and the idiot fired me. I should...

You know you might be getting a little old for 24 hour days. Part of taking proper care of ourselves is getting enough sleep.

It's not a french point.

Skimonster, that is excellent!

Many of us as fanatical hobbyists have gone a bit (or more) too far with acquisitions. In reality you only need one razor, one strop, and one hone. As long as...

Stem cell lab flunkie.

I saw the lower left serif, but I cannot see a residual S in that stamp. I dug through my Sheffield drawer and looked at several W&Bs from that era but cannot find any S that could match that...

It IS a great photo!

Luckily for us we were the last ones picked up by the bus in the morning, otherwise we would have had to get up even earlier. Downside was we also were the last off the bus route at the end of the...

Yup. Had to get up at 4:15 in order to make it to school on time.

My work is mostly flexible but I have to work every day--every single day. Holidays, weekends, and days off don't exist with the work I do. Oh well, at least I can decide when I go to work every...

Reporting problems is a simple enough thing to do but too many idiot tenants don't bother. As a result, a simple problem with a simple fix can balloon into a catastrophe.

I let "friends" stay in...

Ideally, the application of any oil on leather should be preceded by a wiping with a slightly damp cloth. Wait 10 minutes then wipe with a dry cloth right before applying very little oil.

I only have a Filly 13 and 14. Both shave fine even though both are ugly beaters that were cheap.

I have a small chunk of tamahaganae. Odds are that if I ever want one made of that I will have...

Excellent post!

(Though, I'd still like to have an Iwasaki Tamahaganae western grind razor.)

Welcome! Do a lot of reading here and feel free to ask questions. Your first straight should be followed by a better one soon. I just got that same new "shave ready" razor sent in to me today for...

Well, it ain't going to evaporate, so some will soak in and some will be transferred off by contact with whatever touches it.

Regarding the John Pinette video...

"Remember when you could buy 'stuff' and walk out the door?"

I'm annoyed that way too. I gave up on shopping at Sears. I pay with cash. Tell me the total...

I am concerned that it is taking too much effort to keep track of which razor is which in the photos.

Fixed it for ya!

For that reason, I rarely do more than 10-15 laps on the Naniwa 12k. Despite its high grit it is a fast cutter.
