Thread: Unusual materials as related to straight razors

I wasn't sure of my IQ so I went and did a test. Got the results back today and I have IQ of 180, and dyslexia. Plus because my score was so high they sent me some protective head gear and a bag of wooden blocks.

Neil, I find this to be fascinating and it amazes me how you come by all this information. The MDF cement and PVA should act as a strong enough binder without baking to be a suitable hone. The chemical reaction will produce heat by itself to "bake" the finished product. I plan on making one hone plain with no CrOx to determine the grit rating and then it is just a matter of adding CrOx in increments to see what effect that has in creating a suitable hone. As far as scales and brush handles, it would be a matter of making molds that can be filled and pressed.

He can't help having a low IQ, he only stands 3 feet tall

(kidding about using it to tattoo, but the green powder I've mixed tattooing ink with for 30 years sure looks like it )

I was going to ask you about that too, the green on some of my leaves is a bit blueish, brought it up 10 yes ago with my tattooist, never got fixed. And probably will never now. But I really Di believe you for a minute

Dyslexia, processing disorders and other sensitivities are pretty common amongst folks with high IQ scores. I could go on but it isn't really pertinent to the original question.

You beat me to this suggestion. Hey, Randy, what do you think?

I think Randy thinks that he is too busy for the forseeable future to answer emails as Geezer has already posted:

I talked with rRandy today,
I doubt that any but urgent emails will stay out of the trash bin, Anywho, Do not expect to hear from Randy anytime soon. He has a serious amount of work to do at their home.

While attempting to draft me in 1967 my hearing was tested, then tested again because I was off the chart for above normal, had dog hearing maybe....I wear two hearing aids now, and use some CrOx on a strip of leather.
