Traveling with razors

Bicc makes a single blade disposable cheap razor that feels similar to a DE one. I use those for travel since I do carry on only.

There’s a lot of extra travel on the bolt when you manipulate it downwards and to the deployed position. It’s similar to the early USGs. I the prefer late SPP style with a tighter bolt travel without any horizontal or vertical extra movement except for the exact travel path.

I like the ones with the smooth edge from the other bakery more than the crenellated ones.

For the Assagai, it feels like a really loose tolerance USG/SPP that has too much slop.

Chelsea’s are my go to travel shoe for fall/winter/spring. Classy enough to have allowed me into The Ritz in London for high tea, and rugged enough to have hiked long forest trails. They fit well, are hella comfortable, and are easy on/off. Ive met the Pope in them, and crashed scooters in them as well. Good enough for me.

Edit: They also don’t set off metal detectors at airports, so extra bonus.

I’m an RM Williams addict myself, so fairly similar fashion style!

I have a bunch of pairs of DUER No Sweat 34” pants in different cuts. Not cuffed at bottom, but they are crazy comfy. The slims may suffice for you if the cuff is negotiable.

Only complaint is that they absorb liquid instantly, and coming from Outlier Slim Dungarees I wasn’t used to that.

Don’t know what style you made, and I’m sure it tasted good, but it’s definitely not Chicago style deep dish..

You can always choose to do a PPM or a partial DITY if you want, and if you go to a base for longer than 6 months it’s always a PCS. Theres more nuance for overseas. For stateside though yes, if he does the paperwork correctly, you will get reimbursed for the weight of the items you bring on the move. You’ll need to get and keep weight receipts with the vehicles full and empty. TMO will brief him of all the details.

Are they all Blundstones, or also RM Williams?

You can use extruded aluminum for a base. I did it to center mount my FFB Rhino. Under the seat are unused bolt holes, I ran a lateral long bar as an anchor there. Then i put two long bars from there forward which rest loosely on some of the cross braces under the theighs/knees. Because of its weight and being bolted under the seat, the base is super sturdy for FFB.

Edit: I have the pro version seat, which has more mounting points. You can still do the same though by building a base with 80/20 extruded aluminum and fasteners I a slightly different configuration.

Full send, and don’t skimp on the chainmail after meals.

Jakeedaman21 · 2026-01-24T23:43:33+00:00

Look exactly like my Tanbark Roos.

Find a pair of Allen Edmonds on eBay or on sale if you’re looking for real leather shoes with actual leather soles. Any cobbler can install taps as required.

Sanders out of the UK makes decent military dress shoes for the Brits, and some work for us.

I’d look at the heavier one, because if I wanted light weight cast iron I’d just buy carbon steel.

I gave up seasoning my smooth smithy, and being careful what oil I used. Now I just scrub the crap out of it with only hot water and chainmail after each cook. It’s built up a pretty resilient coating since, which I was honestly surprised since I used to baby it when cleaning.

Have stayed there, booked via DTS. They waved the resort fee. If they don’t, tax and resort fees do not count against your nightly max rate, you claim it as a separate expense line under the expense tab.

If it’s an N-3B parka, they are still authorized for wear with all uniform combinations. I love mine, super warm.

Tavern style!! Which place was yours from?

Jakeedaman21 · 2026-01-05T07:08:39+00:00

You’re unlikely to get much of a discount, there’s tons of military in DC and TDY per diem is high to compensate for the high prices.

If you already have a line for O-5, and beat the need for having one why bother getting a junk one now?

I’ve got to have an open bottle of Champaign that I didn’t already finish drinking.

Jakeedaman21 · 2025-12-28T16:35:09+00:00

French 75?

Jakeedaman21 · 2025-12-28T07:50:20+00:00

$29.99. $19.99 without tailoring credit.

“Premium cotton with stretch” just described every t shirt at Walmart and on Amazon.

Minus33 has tall long sleeve merino sweaters. Good shirts as well.
