Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

Monday’s Shave 

USSR Paketa Razor 
Danielle’s Soapery “Spank me Leather”
Fluffy Industries Model 86 Oumo Luxury Boar
AV AS 

Christmas Present soap. First use has me thinking that it is good enough to put in the rotation but not “Wow’d”. Not heavily scented. But a Nice scent. Got some stuff done today. Went to the Home Depot. Wife picked out some new porch lights for the hacienda. Threw them on when we got home. Baked some bread. And in a bit going to have some Homemade Chili for dinner. 
Hope you all had a good Monday.

Great shave and accomplishments Fluffy. Hit Lowes today for a new ceiling fan for the living room which I will no doubt get the privilege of installing tomorrow since I ain't home yet. Take care and eat a piece of bread for me !

I got it on Aliexpress You can search for oumobrushstore.

It wouldn't let me pay with paypal. So I had to use credit card. And the shipping time that pops up has been much quicker than what they show. 
I set them deep. And the loft winds up being pretty close to my Omega 10098 brush. Though a smaller diameter.

Thanks Ken.  I recall the Aliexpress, now that you mention it, but not the other stuff.  I will check them out shortly.

Thanks again for the info Ken.  After we "talked" last night, I went to AliExpress and picked up a couple of those same knots.  BTW, have you ever tried a Maggard Premium Boar?  (Sorry if you did and I missed it.)

I also picked up two OUMO 26mm Fan knots that I've had my eye on for a while.  One is the LotusTip Manchuria SHD and the other is the SHD SILK HMW slivertip gel tip.  It is embarrassing to say this, but I have some handles that have been laying around for a long time, and these knots are for them - but not until after I practice with boar knots.  We'll see how things go.

The boars were each $4 cheaper than Maggard and on average, each badger was $10 cheaper.  Plus they comped me the $13.85 postage.  Now all I need to do is wait ... and wait ... and wait ...

Hey Mike just for giggles. 
I ordered mine on 3 Dec.  They shipped on 8 Dec. 
And were delivered on 22 Dec. 
Not bad considering it came from 
Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China.  A little over 7000 miles away from me.

Mike HighSpeed, no adult toys showing up on the Ali Express page?! I get "evening" wear on the start page!

Eric just put horse in the search bar. You’ll see. It pops up.

Yup, it is there. When I chose just "horse" the second item shown was a "faux horse pimp whip". WTH?!

No goodies show up for me Eric, but somehow I manage to get by without a faux horse pimp whip.  Go figure.

I just can’t see those kind of things being something that you would sell a lot of. I would love to survey the the folks that make them. To see just how many they actually do sell. And maybe the demographics of where they ship to. 
It’s crazy.

Over on TOST3, Fuzzy posted his new Fluffy Industries handle. Nice work! While international is totally correct, being on several forums makes inter-something!
