Today I shaved again with the Julius Dirlam..
Yesterday I did a couple of things wrong causing a not so optimal shave.. (it wasnt a bad shave...) I didnt strop well enough.. I made the lather too dry.. I learned that the optimal angel for the julius is even more shallow than my other razors.. so I shaved again and it was a lot better..

the same ingredients as yesterday (didnt want to change too much)

but another hobby included in the picture..

Very nice SOTD pic...looks like a Fender Jazz Bass, also very nice. Music is also a passion of mine, I play guitar...but I never got the nerve up to play in front of anyone accept my family. I have made a promise to myself that this year I'm going to do it!

I like your pic so much, if you don't mind me copying your idea, I think I'll make my next SOTD post with one of my axes!

I checked out the two songs on your myspace site. It's not my genre of music, but have to admit it sounds great and is really well done. My two sons play as well and my youngest is the Metalhead in the family. I'm going to send him the link, I'm sure he will really enjoy the tunes. Good luck to you and the band!

Thanks Bill!!

The bass is actually a Mike Lull bass, a builder out of Washington state ( Mike Lull Custom Guitars and Guitar Works ).. They call them "Super Jazz Basses" where they take Leo's design and step it up a notch..

It's a GREAT bass!!

I couldn't think of anything else for background, so I took a pic of getting ready to hone some razors and test shave them today and tomorrow...

Some nice ones in there alright can't wait to try some of them out...
Livi, Reynolds, Wade & Butcher, Friodur, Red Imp, Dubl Duck, Sheffield, and a Brandt and two more that should be done today.... Going be a good two days of shaving..

You wouldn't like him when he gets angry......


all that gamma radiation and he'll go Hulk on ya!




P.S.- It also struck me as funny, that "proper storage" for radioactive materials was to simply "put it in the corner"!
