Did you shake your jar and give it a sniff today cudarunner? I did and I can't wait to try it out Sunday on a 7 day growth of beard shave. Yep, a 7 day growth that I'm going to use one of my lather plows on.:dropjaw:

I hope you guys are using the right Bay Leaf , Pimenta Racemosa.
Would hate to think you end up smelling like a fresh roast :roflmao
Working on this FBU. It's got a very thin grind and some deep pitting. The pitting towards the edge is not too bad so it should hone up fine. After hitting it with the 600 greaseless I realized that there is no way to work the pitting out without compromising the blade. I thought about polishing it up more but I don't care for the look of polished pits. I hit it with some Emory compound. Just enough to even everything out without removing all of the stains. I kind of like the way it looks. She can wear her scars with pride. I'll have to figure out how to finish the scales. I've already filled a few holes in them. Maybe I'll sand them up to 600 or so and skip the polishing. What do you guys think? What would you do with this one?

NO! :nono:
I said that I'd leave it in the jar that I sealed with vacuum for the rest of the time (6 more days from then) and I'm not going to make a liar out of myself.
With that said/I have shaken it daily. :tu
But people Like My Roasts that I use Bay Leaves in!:rofl2::roflmao:rofl2::roflmao:rofl2:Quote:

Man, that really sucks. It doesn't appear to be much hone wear on the spine either.
Yeah, their thin alright.!
I think I'd just remove the chip, hone it up, and enjoy the FBU slide. Overall it looks great!!
IMHO [emoji106]
hopefully one of the more intelligent than I, will come along. [emoji5]
Yup. Will be about 7/8 after it's removed.Quote:

As I posted here:

I bought myself a Christmas Present and have been playing with it.
Yesterday after playing as I've posted; I once again drew down the chamber, closed the valve and shut off the pump. I figured that I'd see if it would hold vacuum overnight. When I arose I found ZERO VACUUM!! :thinking:
I again drew down the chamber but this time it wouldn't evacuate. :banghead: When I shut off the pump I could hear the hissing of air so I went inside to make a soapy water mix so that I could see where the leak was. BUT THEN it dawned on me that it was A Lot Colder in my attached garage then it was when I first started playing with the system (about low to mid 30's F)
So I put the spray bottle aside and brought the unit inside and let it warm for a couple of hours and then tried it once again. And BINGO! All was working perfectly.
I believe that due to the close tolerances that the cold had allowed some of the parts to 'shrink' and had allowed for the gaps that created the loss of vacuum.
You learn something every day! :tu
At Room Temperature --The chamber held the vacuum for 24 hours. Just a little FYI
