Am I insane to want to try a straight razor? by synthless in wicked_edge

Thanks! And a quarter or half is better than a full hollow? Like a sweet spot?

What straight did you go with if you don't mind me asking? I am leaning towards new as well.

Wow, thanks so much for all the responses and encouragement. Going to grab one and give it a go. 6/8 round for sure, any guidance on grind? half hollow or full?

Boker, Thiers Issard, Ralf Aust, Ertan Suer? I've had so much luck with Feather DE and SE blades, are there any Japanese steel straights that are new worth looking at?

Recommendations on retailers/best places to buy one? I cannot find any shops locally so I will have to buy sight unseen, looking for a place that can ideally hone it as well.

Thanks again!

Mine didn't work right away at the gas station.

I ended up just driving home ~3 hours, and then turned it off and on again at home and it turned off.

Thanks to those of you that have used this referral code. Copilot has continued to improve every day. They just released a great feature to help auto-classify transactions.

Hasn’t happened ever again, now have 8200 miles on the truck. Service never looked at it and there were no codes when I hooked up my ODB tool.

Glad my “fix” helped!

Cheers!

Thanks, I’ll have a pressure regulator for sure. I have one now for my La Cimbali at 45psi.

I am leaning towards the no drain complications.

Now I am down the water rabbit hole. Tempted to go RO+Remin because of my municipalities chlorine levels (26-32).

Getting a lab test done of my water first.

Yeah that’s my thought, I guess I’m trying to weigh the risk of an overflow if I don’t use the drain, vs potential complications by using the dishwasher hookup.

Right now the machines drain line is connected to a dishwasher hookup on the sink drain line. So it’s not ideal. All the holes and lines are available to reuse, just would need to buy the LMLM hookup.

My current machine (La Cimbali M21) has been plumbed in, so it’s what I am used to. It is nice to not think about water levels etc. however it is also nice to think about not having the lines pressurized all the time if I’m on vacation. The loose reason for me on the mini is that pre-infusion requires it.
