    I've seen several old tissue boxes that had no bottom; the "box" was simply a cover. You set the tissue box down and drop the wood cover over it.

    Sigma Power Select II water stones

    Jason,

    I bought 1000, 6000 and 13000 Sigmas from Schtoo Tierney many years ago when he was exporting from Japan. They are good quality and good value. LV doesn't show a 6000. The 13000 stone is...

    Yes, it has to slide in from the far end. That only takes the first 10 seconds, again because you're not trying to align a bunch of individual fasteners and slots. Mine is configured so that the...
  14. Kammer K3 auxiliary table mounting

    Steve's right; the OEM mounting system for the K3 auxiliary table is a PITA to mount and remove. The issue is that there's just too many fastener bits to deal with all at once when reattaching the...

    I have Hock irons in several Stanley shaves, and I like them. They are just about perfect for the non-adjustable shaves. But Ron makes a different, thinner blade for the adjustable mouth variants. I...

    Ken,

    I just reread Union's web page about new X irons. They're not .040 thick; they're .040 thicker than Stanleys.

    I have an Excalibur, and the stock blade clamp was always a PITA. Sometimes it slipped, sometimes not. Fiddly to setup, and then you never knew what was going to happen.

    When I was growing up in California's Central Valley, "Taco Tuesday" was known as "Red's Tamale Day". Regional differences I guess.
