Eh, this one wasn’t it. I just refreshed that edge, but it pulled ATG. Back on the to-hone pile it goes.
I remember I’ve had trouble this razor before. Something about it makes it difficult for me to get a smooth sharp edge.
Swedish steel tends to be harder. I’d be interested to know what the sharpening/bevel angle is on that razor :)
I’ll get the calipers.
Given our recent discussions and the agreed-upon approximation we could get away from the angle discussion and use to the thickness/width ratio going forward. No irrational numbers involved here, just a caliper and rule
Exactly! I’m going to try to explain this in an upcoming video, but, so far, my explanations using simple geometry and trig, haven’t been well received.
It made sense to me when you explained it, and I have a public school education!
Thank you! When it comes to learning, it is all about the individual. There are morons who graduate from private schools.

I didn’t notice it when the tub was new, but after using it yesterday I started to notice the same sort of volatile hit that I get when I take the lid off of
MoodIndigo. I don’t think it’s a base funk, because I don’t get it with Tobacconist or Santa Noir, so maybe it’s the same accord used in both scents. It’s honestly not that pleasant of a smell, but it dissipates pretty quickly, allowing the rest of the scent through. And what a great scent U&I(WD) is.October 18, 2024

- Frag: Chiseled Face - Summer Storm EdP
Just a beautiful shave this morning. Summer Storm always brings me back to being in the desert during a thunderstorm. Makes me miss living in New Mexico.
This balm and artisan is new to me and was one of the prizes I won in the children’s cancer raffle. Nice menthol level, good ingredients, and left my skin feeling great!
Have a great one y’all, we made it to the weekend! ✌️
I didn’t even notice Chiseled Face in the prize list. I really like Chiseled Face. Some people say the soap base isn’t good, but I think it’s great.
I totally mistyped there – I meant to say that this balm and artisan are new to me. Meaning Ginger’s Garden. I’m not sure whether CF was part of the prize list.
I agree though, Chiseled Face is one of my favorites. I get a great lather with their base every time.
Ahhh, that makes sense!
