Ah yes, Doc's CST...

The Ceasar Salad Test


Im quite dubious as to the efficacy of using an acidic fruit or vegetable when honing a razor.

It works,

I rinse the blade after the tomato, never, ever had a problem

When do you add the oil and vinegar?

+1 thumbnail test for me is indispensable. And it has to really DIG in on the nail. I havent felt the urge to try anything else though. I dont bother with the armhair test, a positive tnt is good enough for me.

You certainly have some serious cross-hatching on your thumbnail as I recall

After the Saran Wrap.

Gotta chime in and say that I've been trying this lately and it's a great test. Wasting a lot of cherry tomatoes though.

Thus the suggestion to have a Ceasar Salad at hand when utilizing the test.... No waste

Keep it up and I'll give you an up close and personal demonstration of why Bob Probert was banned from the USA

 

[Seraphim]

Apparently he was banned for drug possession and drunk driving?

Ha! Yesterday, when I was satisfied with my bevel setting, my wife happened to be making a sandwich and I asked if she wanted the tomato. She readily accepted.

Rofl. Your weather is just as bad or worse than mine.

And what did he do when stoned and drunk?

Actually, much of the tomatoes used in canning/sauces in North America come from a small farming community not far from me in southern Ontario. They grow them year round in (fields during mild time of year, greenhouses during the winter). Thousands of experienced tomato farmers from Mexico reside in this community on work visas. As a consequence, there is an excellent selection of Mexican cuisine that is worth the 35 minute drive from my house.

We now return back to our scheduled programming...
