1(5-ounce) can coconut cream (about ⅔ cup)

I keep a box of coconut cream powder on hand for that sort of thing. I can just spoon out the amount I need.

I've made a pureed lentil soup with similar spices, more or less Middle Eastern, but haven't tried coconut before.

Being Canadian, you may not have known about the great baseball moustache movement in the 1970's.

When I was selling this razor over 10 years ago, I never thought the price would get so silly in the future.

Re: Source for Gillette Silver Blue blades ?

As much as I dislike Amazon, if you get what you think are counterfeits, or even if they seem real but don't shave as well as you expected, you can get a full refund, even possibly without having to return anything. I also just spotted them at Italian Barber on sale for 3¢ each: https://www.italianb...

Re: A Cook's Diary

A friend went last summer to a pick-your-own blueberry farm, and got way too many blueberries before figuring out that freezing them is not nearly as easy as she thought. I've made a Japanese cheesecake recipe a couple of times recently, and the other morning I woke up with the idea of throwing lots...

Re: 3d razor

Would you be making one yourself from the specs on that page? If you are, I assume it wouldn't be all that expensive, and worth a try. It seems likely you've already used (or even have) an SE razor. If not, and you don't have access to the 3D printing equipment for that one, you could start by getti...

Re: New "Black Label" injector blades from Supply?

I took a look at my Schick Proline box and blade pack, and if it says it's made by Personna, it says that in Japanese, because there's almost no text on there in English. RJ3000, are you translating from the Japanese, or are you looking at a somewhat different package from mine? I think we need JimR...

Re: New "Black Label" injector blades from Supply?

The standard Supply blades in the white injector pack are ASR/Personna. Supply states that the blades in the black injector pack are from Japan, and they told me that they aren't repackaged Schick Proline blades. I knew that much, but I was mostly reacting to the news that the Proline blades were a...

I've been doing my selling here through private messages. I also list things on eBay, but right now that's just Gillette Sensors, Schick injector razors, and non-shaving stuff.

Re: New "Black Label" injector blades from Supply?

As stated on the label, Schick Prolines distributed in Japan, along with Schick Injector and Injector II are made in USA, by Personna/Accutech (as the only blade manufacturer in USA). Does that mean that the Proline blades are the same as the Personna blades with the part-plastic pack, and what see...

Re: New "Black Label" injector blades from Supply?

If the blades are for a razor you can take apart, using the finger isn't nearly as important.
