Thread: Emulating the Pro's

ahaha... will post a couple of pics on the weekend

As a couple of you know I work a week on/week off basis remote from my home (and toys) so i dont have my digi-cam with me... going home friday night though

C.Utz... you're right, Ive thought that myself. I secure the razor this way because i find it easy to rub with micromesh with the fat side down. And i have often looked at the sharp edge and thought it would suck to come into contact with it.

When using rotating machines i always hold the work about 5mm away from the belt or wheel and picture in my mind which way it would go if I lost my grip on it... obviously if it looks like coming toward me i find another contact angle to achieve the same result, if it looks like it wont come toward me i go ahead am make contact with the belt... i guess you tend to see a stationary vice as a lesser threat.

No infections or anything Jimbo... nice clean cut... spotlessly clean razor.

Actually... this ties together well with the thread in "off topic" about public health care. It was sunday when this happened, so the public ER was the only viable choice... while i had to wait 5hrs to get treated, i couldnt see this as the fault of the ER staff who were all fantastic... i counted about 8 ambulances that rolled in with people much more hurt than i was.

The doctor that stitched my arm up was Iranian... had been here only about 12 months. But he did a great job and was an interesting and funny bloke to talk to... i doubt an Aussie quack would have done any differently.

Jimbo you might be right about the "old fashioned way" the japanese may consider this razor to have its own soul now that it has drawn blood... have to ask my partner about that (she's japanese)

Actually... might not ask her about it... Im already getting the usual treatment from her over this.
