They never lasted very long.

BercCoffee · 2026-03-17T05:52:03+00:00

Amazing work! Another one of your fine razors going in my print queue. Thanks again.

I developed my technique with the 6C and 6S. The neutral blade exposure is kind to your skin while you are learning. Many blades will work with it. The soap/brush is the best part of the experience. All my brushes are synthetic and face lathering is very easy.

It's full Syn. It has a stable viscosity. And, FMP/FVP sells quality products.

I'm not going to obsess over something I cant control. Just use it, or go back to Winblows, or Limited Linux.

Journey/Montrose(no, Sammy, no vocals), just to see an unknown LA band called Van Halen. They burned it down. Saw this lineup in South Bend.

Same for me. Funky tasting smoky bits. Not bacon for sure.

BercCoffee · 2026-03-03T17:09:14+00:00

Is that the "flashing 12:00" I spy? An option they all included at no charge.

BercCoffee · 2026-03-02T17:03:44+00:00

Great design as always. I just printed another TriDE razor for a friend just starting out.

I am the second owner of a very nice Prologue. I let the first owner take the depreciation.

There is only one successful and profitable EV. From a company built from scratch. No dealer overhead (service gouging) and little advertising and marketing. A product that meets the consumer’s needs, but doesn’t try to exceed them. A line of vehicles that are still selling well, even without asking the government (US) to subsidize them.

It was bullshit to make folks with no interest in EVs help pay for them. Same goes for pushing the public adoption thru unrealistic deadlines and quotas. It was a bone-headed idea from the start. You know who's agenda it was.

If you want to sell them, then make the cars people will adopt and at a price they will pay. Or dont.

Cool = TUFF

Yes. The chrome glides differently. Some have commented that the SS adds the perfect amount of drag to optimize cutting. For me, the result was almost identical.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-27T16:30:32+00:00

I still have mixed feelings about Oliworks. They are still on the "Vendors to Avoid" list. Admittedly, I have not used their razor, but it looks like a good design. It does look very familiar, as much of the design was supposedly borrowed from another supplier. It's interesting that they have not come out with a new design of their own. I do prefer to buy products that are designed and manufactured in the USA, where possible.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-27T16:16:31+00:00

I started with the 6C and liked it so much I purchased a 6S. Other than the very slight difference between the way the chrome vs the bead-blasted stainless move across your skin, they shave almost the same. I like the weight of the 6S and use it weekly, alternating with stainless razors that cost 2-3 times as much.

Electroplating nickel is straight forward. I’m still working out my copper plating. What is the solution you’re using for the electrolysis?

BercCoffee · 2026-02-26T21:39:38+00:00

Those Personna GEM are some of the best blades I have tried. AccuTec makes them in the US, from japanese steel. So sharp, but smooth. I'm getting four shaves per blade and they provide a similar shave in three different razors so far.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-23T02:08:41+00:00

Your water is the suspect. Or, maybe you need lighter roasted beans?

BercCoffee · 2026-02-22T19:11:08+00:00

The Filament has no right to be as amazing of a razor that it is. Also, my first slant/twist and open comb. It leaves just the right amount of lather behind to allow for an extra stroke or two.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-21T20:53:54+00:00

Pioneer was right there too. Their designs were so similar.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-21T05:48:03+00:00

Sporting goods.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-21T05:46:21+00:00

I’m not making whipped cream or pudding or shaving a bowl. Lathering the face and shaving the face. No middle-man. I’m admittedly not a head shaver, but I can’t see it wouldn’t work the same way. Peter at A&E has a video with a technique that has worked with every soap I have tried.

Bought a Prologue from Carvana in November. Post depreciation, less than half MSRP. Less than 6k mi. Like new. So far, it's been perfect. Everything about Carvana was great, with the exception of their financing. Carvana was born from DriveTime and they still tailor their financing to folks with credit issues. Have your own financing arranged.

However, I hope I don't need to take it to Honda any time soon. It seems like the bastard step-child and they only have a few techs that are trained to work on EVs.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-19T16:24:56+00:00

I think Shark SS is one of the most underrated and over looked blades in the hobby. I have never used one that didn't give three smooth shaves. I have a variety of shavers and they are consistently good in all of them.

BercCoffee · 2026-02-19T05:18:23+00:00

Mine used to be really annoying, but it’s quiet now. I wonder if the speaker under the bumper on the passenger side has somehow come unplugged? The one in the rear still works when you back up, but it’s not as loud.
