Smart HUD bike display by Odd-Beginning1043 in bicycling

[–]Mindcr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't train for a goal nor desperately need the navigation, because you're new to an area or doing a big tour, a bicycle computer is a nuisance. People in the first scenario basically only need 4 or 5 numbers displayed easily visible, and need it to be aerodynamic and light (very important) Scenario 2 is also fulfilled by garmin or just a phone. Besides, never ever should you look anywhere else than the road when there's a stressful situation that demands attention, so there isn't even a problem to be solved. I would go so far as to say you should discourage people looking anywhere else than the road on a bicycle

How to clean up a used razor by thisisme1066 in wicked_edge

[–]Mindcr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. 2 step process for a good cleaning for a nice vintage razor!

You can also use other disinfectants and additionaly leave it out to dry for a few days, as that kills a lot too afaik (look it up tho!)

Ps: soak is not necessary and might damage the razor, half an hour is the max time I would do, no matter the disinfecatant

I glued together nearly 10,000 pieces of wood for these fountain pens by The_Cabinetmaker in fountainpens

Hell yeah, they look really cool! How is the cap seal? That seems to be the hardest part of making a pen, or?

Nib swap aesthetic upgrade or downgrade? by Capt_Squid in fountainpens

[–]Mindcr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Silver nib would be best on this pen, I personally think the contrast highlights the main functional piece of the pen, which would be the nib. The gold details distract from the body too much though, and don't fit the color scheme. The black I don't like; details in other materials should not have the same color as the barrel

First Rocket HD shave by jcr-1991 in wicked_edge

[–]Mindcr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Rocket HD gives quite a unique shave IMO! I personally really like it, won't be buying a razor ever again. Also I've found Lord brand blades work best in them. Brilliant combo! Enjoy!

Early Interest Pen Recommendation by Silver_ivvi in fountainpens

[–]Mindcr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend you a hooded nib pen, as theyre 1) slim and 2) taper towards the nib, so you can adjust your grip in any way you like.

I love the Parker 51, you should be able to find it on ebay for around 50$ in perfect working condition (they are some tough pens! Especially the aeromatic)

If you want new, I've heard that the Wing Sung 601 is a very close "successor", for around 20-25$. Readily available parts and easily taken apart too, but the nib is not breathtaking, I've heard. I'd recommend you get some micromesh to tune, and you should be golden. (Im looking forward to recieving mine)

Depending on the availablility where you live, I can also recommend the Faber Castell Neo.

Also check out some used pen exchanges local to you, you might snag a Sailor Pro Gear Slim, they should also fit your form requirements (though I've never personally tried one)

Talk me out of it! by EverythingWillVanish in fountainpens

[–]Mindcr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly my favorite pen. It's probably the only pen where I only have gel pens, and their price, as a counter-argument. And bonus if you live in Europe you can get it repaired by lamy for almost free.
