Trials of a woodpusher: Adventures in chess, backyard gardening, and maybe whisker chopping

[mrdoug]

Relatively rough shave again with the Perma-Sharp (5 shaves) in the AS-D2. Oh well, only 2 more to go before I swap out the blade for a fresh one on Monday, @NurseDave

This strikes me as a funny statement... The blade is called "PERMA-sharp", but it's already going dull at 5 shaves? Sounds like it'll be 'pining for the blade-bin' at 7 shaves (1 week?).

This is only "permanent" for some short lived insects. I call false advertising. Lol. [emoji2957]

As Ed pontificated (he does things like that near the end of the work week. The life of a supermodel, ya know ) , it might be that they are too sharp, @mrdoug

Ahh, good point... I'll just go back into my hole... Lol.

So proud of you

Simple shave this morning. While reading the news and catching up on some chess stuff (duh! ), I started looking into Lucky Tiger AS. Seems to be a nice product based on what I have been reading. Anyone know if it has a reducer?

Cool! Thanks, @fhalden

Not sure, Ed. I don't like Feather DE blades at all in any razor, but have not yet tried them in the ASD2. All I know is if I like a blade or not, I don't really think overly much about why a blade doesn't work for me. Heck, it could even been this individual blade and the 2nd Perma-Sharp you gave me might be wonderful.

I don’t like Feather DE blades period. The Perma-Sharp are almost in that league but where I find no middle ground with Feathers, I like them in a bunch of different razors. Might be a bum blade.

That’s a mighty stingy reducer! Gotta do some shaking to gat some out it looks like.

Actually, you just have to squeeze the bottle. It's pretty thin, flexible plastic.

Yea, Lucky Tiger is good stuff. The reducer acts more like a squirt bottle top than anything else. I still have to hold a finger over it.

My wife made some turkey chili for supper, but put a heaping tablespoon of cayenne pepper instead of a level teaspoon.

She even asked for her Zantac before eating a bowl.

My scalp is prickly.

 

[woodpusher]

After three bowls, I think that I might be good.


Plus, there’s this apple thing waiting as well...

 

[woodpusher]

Cornbread!!! This is a great weekend!

 

[HMan]

Looks yummy!

 

[GearNoir]

Sam, do you like bread cornbread or cakey cornbread?

 

[woodpusher]

I dunno, what's the difference?
I like cornbread.

Lol...this Sam guy


Its mostly just to do with consistency - lighter and fluffier or a bit more dense and gritty.

 

[woodpusher]

Then ... dense... whichever one that is.

 

[woodpusher]

A big difference between a Perma-Sharp and a Personna Plat in the AS-D2! Well, at least to me there is.
