Re: Argan Oil
I've recently come into possession of a couple of RazoRock soaps ("For Chicago", "Don Donato", "Classic" and "Tobacco #1"), all which are new to me. All of them perform very well for me and I wondered what they might have in common. As it turns out, in the des...

They are made in many different sizes, thicknesses and materials. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Washers.agr.jpg/220px-Washers.agr.jpg I never even clean my raz...

Re: Placement of nylon washers for cosmetic reasons
There is the Japanese notion of wabi-sabi . In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.[2] The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".[3] It is a co...

Re: Shows I'm anticipating - new seasons coming soon???
Just finished Jojo Rabbit.
It was great.
I thought that 11-year old Roman Griffin Davis who played Jojo was amazing. He nailed it. It reminded me of watching Dakota Fanning in War of the Worlds.

Re: Shows I'm anticipating - new seasons coming soon???
Not a TV show, but a strong recommendation for those who can tolerate humour, satire, and catharsis. Go find a showing or buy a copy of Jojo Rabbit . I've got it bookmarked in Crave On Demand for future viewing. Glad to hear a positive opinion about it. Again on the topic of subtitles, for Japanese...

Re: Shows I'm anticipating - new seasons coming soon???

Re: Bath Soap Slivers
In our house the sliver is used until it's malleable when wet and slapped on the next cake of soap. That's what I do. I have noticed that once I get down to about 10% of a bar the performance drops off noticeably - less scent and less density in the lather. I don’t know if this is all due to less a...

Compared to William's Mug, I find that William's will stay slick after it collapses, but Godrej looks better, and lathers up more quic...

The soap is their "Jardin d'Orange" scent.
Razor is a Black-handle SuperSpeed.
Still liking the Shaverboy blades.
