Re: Badger Cull To End
Agree with Tim. I have a synthetic from both Jagger and Simpsons. They may not eat up soap as easily as badgers but performance is excellent.

Re: Shaving Brush Recommendation
I already have a Jagger silvertip synthetic and it performs nicely. No issues, dries quickly, washes clean. I ordered the T3 because I'm an exclusive face latherer and the chubby style seemed like a good choice. I'm more of a painter than a smasher so I expect the T3 will give me a good combination....

I have a T3 on the way although it seems to be taking the scenic route through Canada, Togo, and parts of South America before getting here.

Re: Astronomy Anyone??
As a kid I would lie on my back in the backyard with my handheld refractor staring at Antares and sometimes the moon. Always tempted to get a 6" mirror or even an 8". Hereabouts there's way too much light pollution to justify the investment. Instead, I get some satisfaction with the occasional viewi...

I've been using a tie-on version made from an old t-shirt, pattern from the CDC website. Yesterday I bought a few ear-loop versions, with half the cost going to a local food bank.

Quarantine humor (no politics). Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks, the other half will come out with a drinking problem.

Re: Gillette Heated Razor
And here I was dipping and rinsing my razor in hot water. How absolutely primitive of me.
Just to be clear, I was poking fun at the product, not the article which I thought was well-written and comprehensive.
