[sol92258]

Good night gents.
yeup, same here, early start tomorrow

[soapbox]

Either is ok by me. How many of us want in on this?

IN.


:lol::lol::lol:



Maybe some are electric, I don't know. I haven't seen them myself.

Nope, just wind up.


I will set something up and see what everyone thinks.

:thumbup:


According to our wiki (here (http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/index.php/Stahly_Live_Blade)) as well as what I could find on google, no electrics. All wind up.

:thumbup1:


Drats! What has become of us? :huh:

Well, as noted, it is our little corner of a shaving website. Talking shaving was bound to happen sometime.


Okay, anyone that wants to be in on this, PM me with your email.

*ding* you've got pmail!

[RichGem]

Isn't the crystal deo's basically the same thing?




Essentially. Crystal deo may or may not be a diff. form of alum (ammonium alum as opposed to potassium alum) depending on which brand you buy. But, both forms accomplish the same effects. Crystal deo also tends to be much less expensive, can be gotten at your local drug store, and comes in a handy dandy plastic propel-repel tube.

[blackfoot]

any electro-vibro-shave thingies? :lol:

Um, no.


what? we have an adults-only section now? :lol:

:lol::lol::lol:

Good night to those dropping out. :thumbup1:

Yeah, I recently broke mine. I bought the one I am using now in mid-December. Last month, I finally had to advance it for the first time. It was stuck and would not advance, so I used a little force. It still works, but I have to watch it or the center will fall out. :001_rolle

[SRock]

Ah, but did it have a hello kitty on the stock?

Nope, but she did have her name in purple calligraphy. :lol:


I forgot to mention....I also saw a gold toggle for $18. First time I had ever seen one of those, pretty neat. Everything seemed to work OK, but since I am not a collector, just a user with RAD (and ASAD) and now RBAD, I left it in the case.

I'll take it!


I'd like to try a Toggle -- I'd gladly pay you for the Toggle and your time, and shipping; as long as it's mechanically good/very good. Keep your eyes peeled!

OK, I'll be second on the list.


uh, I'll take it...

Or third...


I'll keep that in mind. I doubt I'll be back at that store anytime soon as it is a 50 minute ride north, but I will keep an eye out for any in the future. This one was in pretty good condition from what I could tell. I worked the mechanism, since I had never seen one before. It needed some clean up, but the plating looked good.

I'm gonna get my wife to take some pics of the new razors, and hopefully one of you can help me figure out my mystery razor.

I'll pay you for the gas and your time!?!? Let me know.

I'll let you fellas know this evening if I was able to get it or not.

[SRock]

They really had more razors at that location than I have ever seen there. I was surprised. It was the largest variety of DEs I have come across.

You need to take pics with a mobile phone and immediately upload them for our review! :thumbup1:


You know, your Toggle find reminds me of one of my greatest regrets in this hobby. I went to have Lasik surgery a short time after joining B&B. I had it done in Indy. So, while down there, Mrs. Blackfoot and I went to some antique stores. This was the first time I had went to an antique store in search of razors and I knew virtually nothing about their values. I found one like below, in great shape, for $20. I passed it up. Many months later, I discovered how much they were worth and I gave in to the fact I had become a collector. Just a couple of months ago, my wife went down there for business and I asked her to stop by and get that one. They had sold it only a week or two before she arrived. :thumbdown

:001_huh:


Interesting? It looks like a Nazi torture device! :eek:

:yesnod:

Correct on #1.

#2, it was probably state-of-the art at the time... cloth wrapped. But, of greater concern = wet shaving + ungrounded electric motor (and GFI were about 60 yrs in the future).

edit #3... getting the cord tangled and hacking through it with the razor plugged in. That would be shocking, to say the least.
:ohmy:


Good info for now, but in the 1920s when these beasts came out? Fuse boxes man, and that's if they were wired correctly to begin with (or didn't have a penny stuck in them to overcome a blown fuse).

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm frequently wrong), but weren't fuseboxes to protect the equipment, not people?

[blackfoot]

Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm frequently wrong), but weren't fuseboxes to protect the equipment, not people?

A little of both. Where fuse boxes are used today, like cars, yes, they are more for the equipment. Older ones served the same purpose as modern breakers though. So, the real purpose was to prevent overloading the wiring and equipment, thus preventing fires and saving people.

Picked up a Jim's Original polish sausage and a Vienna Beef hot dog in Chicago. Couldn't stay in my "parking" space as a Chicago parking patrol was waiting for me to leave or write a ticket.

So I headed over to the DesPlaines oasis on I-90. Cub's game just got out so there are a lot of fans here. Now that I have set that stage for you, I am absoposolutley astounded at what passes for a skirt or shorts around here. Some of these young ladies are dangerously close to being illegal and others are just downright scary.

Guess I shouldn't play fashion cop, but it just makes me wonder what some of these people are thinking.
Try spending a summer at University of Arizona!


Dang it! How come is it that all the razors that I just pass by, I could easily sell??? :lol:
I've only had that happen once. Passed up a Diplomat in decent shape. Just wasn't willing to shell out fifteen bucks.

You know, this is a great idea. What if I made a Google Doc and every body that wanted to, could post a list of wants and/or a phone number. Another option would be a Social Group that is private, so that information would be open to public view.

Good heavens, people. I'm not saying they are an awesome fashion statement, but for me, they are functional. Every other pair of shoes I own and have owned will make my legs and back hurt from standing on this freaking floor for too long. It's not like I don't own other shoes.

I'll be getting GMS shave soap #23 this week, as should the test committee. 22's lather was a little "sticky" and lacking in sufficient slip, especially compared to #21, so it might be pointless to send 22 out. Interesting though; the recipe was very similar between 21 and 22, and so too with 23. Fortunately, I think this means Mom and Dad are down to brass tacks with the recipe and manufacturing processes. Still, can't wait for the feedback on 21 and 23.

None of the pucks are milled yet, though. The experimentation and setup of the machinery continues.

I think I'm just going to start quoting the updates from the site except for when we personally talk or visit with them and have something else to share.

Again, I personally thank those of you who are praying or have prayed for Emily, my daughter is looking very forward to her being home!


Sorry I haven't posted but the weekends Emily doesn't have any therapy (45 min on Saturday) and she is getting to be quite a handfull but this is what happened over the weekend. Keith is working on Emily's bedroom. It will be finished before she comes home so she can have all her friends spend the night. The sphagetti dinner and auction at her school that benefited Emily was more then we could dream of. Once again we are overjoyed with the love and support and we would like to thank everyone who came to the dinner and auction but especially for those who lift Emily up in prayers daily. Emily is really starting to talk up a storm. She told her daddy "I love you" and "I miss you". She loves to go for walks and enjoys going out to see different things. Today she is schedule for an MRI - don't know what time it is yet - which is so frustrating because last time Emily got something to eat was midnight. Please pray that the MRI results will allow her c collar to be removed and the skull fracture did not put any pieces of her skull in her ear canal so she won't need surgery later. I will post when I learn the results of her MRI - which will be today they told me.
Thank you all again for praying for Emily.
We love each and everyone of you!
Love Keith, Cathy and Emily

I meant more that you don't care if the characters live or die, not anything specific. But the quantum mechanics was kind of neat. I felt smart for knowing who Feynman is.

I see. It's true, none of them are particularly compelling. But let's face it: when you pick up a Crichton novel you aren't looking for deep, human characters. You just want to be entertained.

This was something that surprised me about reading Bram Stoker's Dracula. The characters were so one dimensional. In fact, Dracula was the most interesting character in that book. It makes me wonder how it became such a important classic.

I'll be getting GMS shave soap #23 this week, as should the test committee. 22's lather was a little "sticky" and lacking in sufficient slip, especially compared to #21, so it might be pointless to send 22 out. Interesting though; the recipe was very similar between 21 and 22, and so too with 23. Fortunately, I think this means Mom and Dad are down to brass tacks with the recipe and manufacturing processes. Still, can't wait for the feedback on 21 and 23.

None of the pucks are milled yet, though. The experimentation and setup of the machinery continues.

Depending on who gets dibs, I'm mostly interested in how they shave. Plate wear is less of a factor for just knowing how well it works, or if it's just another adjustable Gillette.

You know, your Toggle find reminds me of one of my greatest regrets in this hobby. I went to have Lasik surgery a short time after joining B&B. I had it done in Indy. So, while down there, Mrs. Blackfoot and I went to some antique stores. This was the first time I had went to an antique store in search of razors and I knew virtually nothing about their values. I found one like below, in great shape, for $20. I passed it up. Many months later, I discovered how much they were worth and I gave in to the fact I had become a collector. Just a couple of months ago, my wife went down there for business and I asked her to stop by and get that one. They had sold it only a week or two before she arrived. :thumbdown

This was something that surprised me about reading Bram Stoker's Dracula. The characters were so one dimensional. In fact, Dracula was the most interesting character in that book. It makes me wonder how it became such a important classic.

You have to consider when it was released (1897).

To celebrate my 500th post I brought a couple of friends!

PS I stole again. http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/109.gif

Cool, I love boobies.


You guys were busy today! Sheesh!

Yes, they were!


Thanks folks. 39 is hardly a mile marker birthday; Next year, on the other hand... :blush:

And all this time I figured you were younger than me. :lol: Happy Birthday, brother.


Not hardly. This one is in good condition, but is far from mint. There is some plate loss on the bead, particularly the bars and doors,but everything is in working order.

That's still very cool. Just means someone thoroughly enjoyed it. I always wonder about who may have owned my razors and what amazing things they may have done.

[a_bit_crafty]

:yesnod: Yeah, the guys were talking about going together and getting you some Crocs to protect your toe. At least I think that's what they were talking about.






:a49:




:lol::lol::lol:
Mr. Crafty wears a pair when he is running out to the car, or into the yard, or perhaps the beach, but not on a regular basis, and scarcely out of the house. I saw him walk by last night and was quick to point out that he was wearing the fabled cursed shoes. To which he said, "And with socks, too." :blink:




Cool, I love boobies.


:lol::lol::blink::lol::lol::blink:

[Gruder]

A belated happy birthday, Jesse!

And yes, go SEC!

Jim, before mowing again, what'd you do to the tree that worked over your arm?

[amspratt]

yeah, I'm similarly the same way...I'll almost always pull for the SEC team, unless it's Tennessee. Then it just depends...if there's no SEC team to pull for, I pull for the most Southern and/or most Eastern team available


you may think the name may not fit the team, but when you find out who the football coach is....:lol:
As opposed to all those who are differently the same way.

I hope so!!

Thanks Chad. I think I'll properly celebrate my 39th birthday sometime around Thanksgiving, because with a 7-week old and a two year old, well, there's no time to celebrate anything except a nap.

You have to consider when it was released (1897).

Which is about the same time as Sherlock Holmes and I loved those stories. They definitely have a similar lack of dimension which is inherent to the times, but not to the same degree by any means. But yes, plot does seem to be more important than character development in this era.

Oh, I'm sure there'll be time for that... :thumbup:

Here's one from Mrs. Soapbox this morning; the little guy was having "tummy time (http://www.babycenter.com/0_tummy-time-how-to-help-your-baby-get-comfortable-on-his-bell_1439985.bc)" (sometimes a source of discomfort for babies, but important for muscle building) and flat fell asleep. Except for when he's hungry, he's a pretty chill little guy, for now. Only disadvantage to this picture is you don't see his deep blue eyes. Little Soapbox's big cardboard-box playhouse is in the background.

we had a HUGE network printer several years ago at work, I took that box and another box home and built a pseudo-two-story playhouse for the kids. I guess it basically amounted to a dormer that the oldest could stand up in (almost 4 at the time) and look out the top.
I probably wasted lovingly used 5 rolls of DT on that thing before it was deemed condemned by my lovely bride (I already knew it was a lost cause, but I couldn't throw it out, what with all the money spent on duct tape renovation and all!)

I have no inspiration to offer. It will be the 5th day of a 6 day stretch of work! :thumbdown

Emily has her neck brace off! WOO-HOO!!!

It has been 6 weeks now since the accident, it's hard to believe it's been that long, and it's amazing to see the progress that's happened along the way.

Sometimes we wonder why God would allow things like this to happen, but I can say that the whole situation has truly served to bring that family closer.

Again, thank you all!

It is on the table, but I may leave that up to the next person. I have been told by more than one person to consider selling it on eBay. My luck does not run that good, so I probably wouldn't be able to sell it for $1 there.


That's still very cool. Just means someone thoroughly enjoyed it. I always wonder about who may have owned my razors and what amazing things they may have done.

I do the same. Especially these old razors that have been around long enough to pass thru a couple of generations.


Nice! Good work cleaning it up, Ray.

Thanks! It went thru several cleaning and then a dip in 90% alcohol. It is clean and germ free now. :lol:

Which is true, I think, of the Crichton novels. Yes, his characters are flat, but his characters are not the real characters of the story. The events and causes are the real players, and I don't mind a story like that.

But hey, Frozen Bubble and (perhaps unsurprisingly) OpenOffice Write are early favorites.

I'd rather he choose to wear a kilt rather than have one put upon him. Especially because Little Soapbox will be asking pointed questions like "Why is he wearing a skirt, daddy?" I'll let him get a feel for his Welsh-Scottish ancestry before forcing a kilt on him.

You watch your mouth! Just kidding, I only learned to crochet because it was easy.

Now, the post-date MG update. We went for sandwiches, then wandered around Logan's relatively pathetic zoo. It was fun, though the conversation didn't seem as natural as usual. I figure attaching the stigma of a "date" may contribute to that. For some reason a legit date just feels different from hanging out. Anyway, it was good.

:thumbup1: Finally redemption. The council of TnAT was debatating whether or not to rescind your membership due to lack of action in the MG department. :lol:



Wow, a pre-date date, just to break the ice. Very good, Andrew!

Much better than, "I haven't called MG yet." :lol:


I may be slow, but I'm not entirely useless.

:lol::lol:


That's true. I've found meaning and purpose in my life!

Even Funnier!


Thanks! (I think so too!)



We'll be here when you get back. Be safe! Good shaves, and we'll be sure and rehash the whole Mint Girl thing for you upon your return.

+1


hope you filed all the paperwork required for Leave of Absence from TnAT, and had them properly notarized 48 hours in advance! :shifty:

In triplicate!


last time the kilt topic was brought up, bad things happened....

Uh oh...

Precious.


OK, starting tomorrow, I'll be checking out for about 2 weeks. I'll miss you all. :crying:

Well, safe travels and have fun. :thumbup1:


Thanks! I demand a full recap of Mint Girl. I'm looking at you, Andrew. I can still scold you at a distance.

Wait, I think I'm actually going to end up closer to you than I am now... Oh, forget it.



Hey, man. If *I* didn't get 48 hours advance, then neither do you. I gave you roughly 24. Take it or leave it.

Jesse, please file my paperwork.

:lol::lol::lol:


Excuse me? :001_huh: Retroactive leave submission? That'll cost you at least a kilt for Blake and some cute socks for my 7 week old... :shifty:

:lol::lol: :thumbup:

Heck yeah! Crocheters unite!


You watch your mouth! Just kidding, I only learned to crochet because it was easy.

I was going to mock you, but heck, I sew and stuff so I have know room to talk. :rolleyes:


Please don't tell us it was part of that Twilight series.



You didn't make any comments about the animals and similarities to certain humans that would get you in trouble, now did you?

:lol::lol::lol:

PS Do you two have tea parties together?

I'm sorry, but I'm not qualified to confuse a cat.

I thought it was skklog that confused foxes and cats. :confused:

Nice to see your avi is looking more like itself these days.

Skklog is the president & CEO of Confuse-A-Cat.

Thanks! After the last one (lasted 2 full days) I thought Tux as Optimus Prime was appropriate to change into.
