Mild or Medium?

More opinions... Razor: RazoRock SLOC Double-Edge Safety Razor from Italian Barber for USD$21.99 or CAN$27.69. If you already have a handle from a standard 3-piece razor (with 5 mm or 10-32 thread) then you can get the head (chrome-plated zamak) by itself for USD$7.99/CAN$10.99 It is an excellent he...

I use a styptic pencil (anhydrous aluminum sulfate) for blood. Most of them are very thin and brittle, so imagine my joy when I found out about Clubman's Jumbo Styptic Pencil. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81yPIh9tHPL._SY550_.jpg This is an old thread, but an update on the Clubma...

Nice closeups. =D> I used to work at a place that had exterior security cameras that you could turn and zoom into things of interest. One summer we had a family of foxes living under one of the storage buildings. On the usually uneventful weekend shifts we'd watch them playing with each other. They ...

Here's a fun variation on a crossword puzzle: https://simplydailypuzzles.com/daily-codeword/ They give you a partially filled-out crossword puzzle, but no clues , and no way to check whether the letters are correct as you go. Once you type in a letter (right or wrong), it automatically fills it out ...

The Sudoku app that I use, named "SUDOKU:)" for iOS, has the feature where you can temporarily highlight all instances of a selected number in green. This makes it easy to spot patterns. I find that just as useful as the "pencil mode" (where you can enter multiple small candidate...

Didn't they used to call these "mailboxes" or "Post Offices"?

We will use the classes on the Bike, the $39 a month version. Ill use the App to set it up and find some beginner classes. I will probably do a few scenic rides - read that they eliminated all but 4 of them. I suspect they may bring them back and re-do how they do them? There it is. Most high-tech ...

I'm about ready to order one of these! which colour? :D clive Clive, I'm trying to decide between blue and black. :? - Murray Just to complicate things, once you add one to your cart (on the Henson site) a sidebar pops out and there's a text box for "Special instructions for seller". I''v...

As I recall, 3 - 4 on a Fatboy wasn't very aggressive. I don't know about the Slim. Similar? :-k I have not used a Fat Boy. The only clue I have is the note at the bottom of the B&B wiki Blade Gap chart: Note: Gillette Adjustables - Slim and Fat Boy range from .022 @ 1 to .045 @ 9; Fat Boy (195...

... Now as far as "how mild is it" goes, I have never used a Merkur nor a Rockwell. I regard the EJ DE87 as being milder-feeling than any Tech I've used, so it would seem that a comparison to any other razor is difficult. Maybe like a Gillette Slim Adjustable on 1 or 2? I'd have to do a m...

Moments like that remind me of Caravaggio's painting of Saul/St. Paul in "The Conversion on the Way to Damascus". https://catechistsjourney.loyolapress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Caravaggio-Conversion-of-Saint-Paul-on-the-Way-to-Damascus.jpg After a few years of trying more and more ag...

John, thanks for bringing this razor to our attention. I notice on the website that there is no reference to the razor being mild, so is that your personal assessment? (Just read further on the website and found that the AL13 is mild and that one can find through another link the AL13-Medium. The w...

I have a Magic Mouse I, and I quite like it. Scrolling is smooth. They are bisymmetrical, so if you are left-handed (which I am not) it's a simple matter to change the left/right setting. The only issue I know of with them is that sometimes the battery terminals don't maintain good contact with the ...

This was more family-friendly than the title suggested.

When I came back to DE razors in 2016, I kept going for more aggressive razors, or else cranking up the adjustables. Since about two years ago I've taken to using milder razors, like the Edwin Jagger DE87 and a RazoRock SLOC. The SLOC (head-only was something like $10) is now officially my favourite...

It has been a while. A "Rocket Red" Henson AL13 (Mild)
I think this was my first shave with it. I really like it.
The green AS is a bit of Osage Rub, from a PIF.

... I didn't get passed the face map pages but I did notice the section on strops and was surprised that it said horsehide strops are not recommended for barbers and that they are more for home use. In the margin next to that it says "A strop can poison your razor, therefore should be steriliz...
