Nice thing about retirement is NOT having to shave every day. I get a lot of life from a blade (Fusion) too. It is sweet when you use a new one though. That's when I'm prone to nick myself. I'm a "daily, go to the store, library, GoodWill" as well, lol. FuckitIt's quiet in here .. TOO quiet
So I will tell the tale of my long-term cheap-ass disposable razor.
I like the Schick "ST" razors ... at least the ones that WallyWorld had 3 or 4 years ago. I like to shave in the shower, so that makes for reliably softened stubble. This is much easier duty for some sharpened steel. Typically i'd get 3 to 5 months of use out of one razor. Then one went 9 months. the next went 15 months. This last one I started in March 2017, and I retired it last week. 19 months off one cheap-ass razor!
It FEELS like an accomplishment.
The new razor I started just gliiiides. But the old one did a credible job, did not nick me so long as I paid attention ... but it lost efficiency. i needed 2x the passes to do the job.
I love "smug efficiency" things like that.
(Let's not discuss the fact that I drive to the store about daily. So the efficiency of my driving is really poor. But my 19-month razor excuses all my other spendy ways. Doesn't it!?)
Ahhh so sweet he looks like Ralphie in Christmas Story.
That's what my wife was going for. It took multiple tries over a 2 day period to even get that smirk out of him. I think she should've went with him crying for the Xmas cards but she did all the work so she wins, again.Ahhh so sweet he looks like Ralphie in Christmas Story.
Nice Bokeh!That's what my wife was going for. It took multiple tries over a 2 day period to even get that smirk out of him. I think she should've went with him crying for the Xmas cards but she did all the work so she wins, again.
Don't remember if i posted this last year but here it is again. She's won best Christmas card twice now. She is already working on next year's idea.
Getting her a new lens for Xmas that she's been wanting for a while now. It's the only time when acting like I'm not listening pays off lol

You need to get a plow blade on the front of that!! Accuracy makes all the difference. What a cutie he is. She did a great job on that.That's what my wife was going for.

I shave in the shower too. I use the two razor approach. I have an older one that I use first, then I do the fine tuning with a newer one. Never got as many shaves as that though.It's quiet in here .. TOO quiet

Thanks for the compliment and your understanding. What kind of gun do you need grips for?Nice.
I went digging through deer antlers I have and think I may make a set out of them.
You might want to consider doing it for a bit of cash.
Nice wood grips are $80-200 for nice wood grips mass produced. Double that for hand made ones with exotic woods.
Though I understand. I make a lot of things I won't sell.
I'd imagine there'd be a lot of headaches, responsibilities and pressure if it became anything more than a hobby; take the fun/enjoyment out of it. You'd either have to have factory blue-prints or keep the gun for the length of the project if doing for othersThanks for the compliment and your understanding. What kind of gun do you need grips for?
