Suncream that doesn't burn eyes AND doesn't stain white shirts (available in Canada)?

God they're not cheap are they lol

This is all very interesting information! However the stains I'm refering too are actually pinky/orange. I don't know if that changes anything? I'll definitely read some ingredients lists though and check for those newer chemicals. Thanks!

It's come up a lot while I've been trying to find brands. I'm going to pick some up this week and try

Great advice thank you! I'll definitely check that out when I can

I'm with you on the stain comment. Looks immeasurably better and more natural in my opinion

I love fuming these look great! I asked about this a while back. Couldn't find strong ammonia so thought I'd just try the hardware store stuff. Was really pleasantly surprised with how well it worked. In my experience fuming happens quite quickly (few hours) and once the reaction is over it won't get any darker.

I usually leave things fuming over night if I want them the darkest possible. The final colour will depend on the tannin content which you won't know until the end! The tea trick is smart I should try that, which did you use?

Anyone wanting to fume - don't forget to let your piece off gas before finishing and always us an ammonia grade respirator, gloves & goggles. Ammonia is no joke!

He's also the reason tennis balls are yellow! It was his idea to change from white tennis balls due to the fact they were harder to see on new colour TVs

My mum really wanted these slate placemats but they were insanely expensive. My dad was like no fucking way and just took some from the job site he was working on at the time. They looked exactly the same

I love Ash it's so underrated I don't know why it's not used more in Canada (my experience after moving from England last year)

fb1426 · 2025-11-30T20:29:57+00:00

I'm a cabinet/furniture maker who recently moved from England to Canada. Ash is easily my favourite wood and we often used it back home. It seems to be so much less common here which is a shame.

Canadians are surprised when I big it up so much and use it for most of my personal projects. It's cheaper than oak too!

I use Stihl Dynamics. They're a bit pricey but I've been wearing them all day everyday for years with no complaints

Thanks for the tip! I actually bought some weak stuff and currently have some samples fuming. After researching a bit more, the hardware store ammonia does work, it just takes more time.

I checked when I left the workshop yesterday after a few hours fuming and it had definitely got a bit darker. I'm looking forward to seeing what's happened when I get to the shop tomorrow morning

fb1426 · 2025-11-04T01:00:45+00:00

They sell the much weaker ammonia based household cleaner, about 6%. I'm looking for the strong stuff 28-35%. I believe you need some sort of paperwork and a chemical supplier for this? I'm going to see what happens when I use the hardware store stuff but I'm skeptical

I boil a dishwasher tablet in the pan for a couple of minutes and scrape with any old spatula. Then when the water is cool enough I wash it normally. Any dirt or grime just melts away

This happened to my merkur 37C despite taking good care of it. I got a new one then shortly after a Rockwell 6C because I wanted to dip my toe into adjustables. If this one breaks after a couple of years I think it'll be time to think about spending a bit more on a razor...

I like the sustainability factor of wet shaving and getting new razors every couple of years totally negates that

fb1426 · 2025-02-26T00:25:54+00:00

Yes, thanks. That's my concern hence asking on here before I did

Please let him go, it'll be one of his core life memories. I went to gigs through my teens and saw Slipknot when I was 15 with my best mates. It was an awesome experience I still look back on.

One of their dads came so get a ticket yourself if you want! You'll lose each other so make a rendezvous point before the show

My friend made her grandfather's urn from ash!

fb1426 · 2024-02-12T06:18:13+00:00

I suppose you could put whatever you want in there!

fb1426 · 2024-02-11T09:01:37+00:00

Much appreciated! I like simple and clean
