    Learn me on lighting a pipe

    Thread Starter: Rockminer

    As some of you know, i'm pretty new to this pipe thing. I have figured out the "sip" or slow light pulls when the pipe is lit. The ability to light the pipe is something i'm having trouble with. I always feel like I'm pulling too hard when lighting. I want to easy pull, when lighting it, but it...

    Witch Hazel as razor burn treatment

    Thread Starter: ZackP

    So, I decided to buy some dollar store witch hazel. It smells kind of bad, but not THAT bad (I can handle it). So, I've read applying every hour helps with razor burn. I have a few spots that are just not going away regardless of anything I try, even taking a week or so off. So, I figured maybe...

    Face latherer looking for a new brush

    Thread Starter: snip3r

    Currently I'm looking at omega premium #34 , Semogue ( not too sure which model as I read the 1305 has questionable handle ) and maybe a drilled Whipped Dog 24mm Silvertip. I'm currently also using a Vulfix 404 mixed and I would like something that improves on the Vulfix in terms of softness and...

    30 shaves, and counting

    Thread Starter: fsturnz

    Today marks my 30th shave with a straight razor. I had serious doubts when I began, and wondered what I was getting into. It was only January of this year that I started shaving with a DE. Before that it was carts and canned goo. As I was learning the DE, I wondered how I would ever keep with...

    Swiss Army knife modification

    Thread Starter: otto76

    I have a Wenger Standard Issue, this one: I want to rescale it...to me it looks as simple as unpinning the blade end and the center pin, then pulling out the lanyard loop and maybe drilling a pin out of that end if it's not just the lanyard loop holding it together. Does that sound right?...

    The Sprout- B&B Gardening 2013

    Thread Starter: Mycon

    When most of my other hobbies were rendered inert last spring by a medical issue (that continues to baffle doctors to this day), I found myself drawn more and more to the mostly barren, tiny garden strip in my back yard. When I found that working in the garden actually seemed to relieve my pain, I...

    2nd Resto - Rubberset 400-3

    Thread Starter: theretroshave

    I picked this one up on a whim, and ended up finding inspiration in a 400-3 done by Gigster. I actually found his pics on a knife forum, and asked him for any tips he could provide. He gave me an extremely helpful, and quite detailed email on how to polish the aluminum to mirror finish. I'm not...
