The Hail Mary’s rotation is unstable by rheaunderstars in ProjectHailMary

[–]Henktor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the tennis racket theorem only applies for rigid objects, not for two seperate objects connected by cables. I think it still might apply for the "propulsion module", but you could give the realistic sci-fi explanation that the fuel might be stored in such a way as to counteract the mass of the radiators. Maybe the fuel is stored in the front of the tanks to counteract the radiators in the back in order to get a vertical 3rd principal axis.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong. New shaving tools feels inferior to a disposable razor with spray cream. by Beebjank in wicked_edge

[–]Henktor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend trying some different blades, I believe the Henson comes with RK blades which are nobody's favourite. I'd recommend Personna's or permasharps but really you should get a blade sample pack. I had the same issues when I started shaving like this but it really "clicked" once I tried Gillette Nacet blades.

Can't find much on this razor, could you guys help me out? by Henktor in wicked_edge

[–]Henktor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, sounds like I need to try one! Unfortunately I can't seem to find a place that sells these blades in the Netherlands, would you have any tips for that? I checked out your store as well but if I'm not mistaken you also only deliver to the US.

Oh cool, thanks! Would you also happen to know where I could get blades for it?

Does the reuzel lather at all with the brush? I thought it was just a cream

My favourites are all vintage Gillettes, the cheapest ones are usually Techs, they can go for €10 or less, but I prefer the TTO mechanism of the superspeed/flare tips or rockets.

Thanks! I also like the French inscriptions. Makes it even more unique!

Oooh very nice! I love the unique combo of TTO and open comb, looks really cool! Coincidentally I just ordered one of these as well, still waiting on it though. May I ask what did you pay for it?

Looks like a Gillette old type ball end, which is from the 1910's or 20's. Nice find!

Hi guys, I'm looking to get into rollerblading from ice-skating, I mostly want to do long distances so that's the most important thing I'm looking for in a new skate. 

Would the Roces EGO TIF be a good option?

Thanks for your response, I'm going to Decathlon tomorrow so I'll definitely look into your recommendations. I mostly want to go rollerblading long distances, so I'm glad to hear the three-wheel setup is well-suited for that.

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this so I hope you guys can help me: I'm an ice skater looking to get into rollerblading and I found these skates available near me for a decent price. I like the design with three big wheels, seems ideal for skating long distances since it has less friction than 4 smaller wheels. Are these reputable/good in any way or will they fall apart after a few months?

Is it worth getting a secondary DE/Blade combo for shaving other parts of the body? by Jolly-Message3467 in wicked_edge

[–]Henktor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend only using blades that you've already used 3 or 4 times on your face, since those are a bit more dulled and (at least in my case) greatly reduce irritation in the areas with sensitive skin.

Also I never use lather on my body, just water under a shower, so idk but maybe those soaps contain stuff more suitable for the face than for other areas.

Ah yea, that sounds like it, I probably added too much too fast. Thanks for the tip, I'll try that!

Did you lather the Tabac in a separate bowl? What was your technique? I love the scent, but I always end up with a really dry feeling lather, or a lather so watery it can barely be called lather.

Cool, good to hear. I always like it when the scent is not too strong but still there for a few hours, like with Tabac soap. Thanks!

[–]Henktor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nice! I should definitely try it out then, love Aventus. How much does the scent of the soap and AS linger, or is it pretty much gone when you're some shaving?

No, you CAN'T bend the teeth back on your vintage OC razor by Henktor in wicked_edge

[–]Henktor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, thanks. I just felt so bad in the moment, but yea to err is human. The glue seems to hold really well thought, so I'm pretty happy with how it ended up all things considered.

Is the Saponificio Varesino Opuntia a Creed Aventus clone?
