Miscellaneous Small & Inexpensive Accessories

I used to have a dropper for glycerin, then I switched to one of these travel bottles with a cap that has a flip-up spout thingy:
It's just flexible enough to squeeze out a drop at a time, especially with glycerin being so thick.


It was after filling this bottle up that I suspected (and confirmed with wikipedia) that glycerin has a much higher refractive index than water or alcohol. That gives it that weird glassy look.

Why can't I tag some members ????

First you have to be "It". It's how the game of "Tag" works. 
Or maybe they can run faster than you.

Uh... try an ampersand and quotes.

Code:

@"Dave in KY"
@"dave in ky" (to test any upper/lowercase issue)
@"John Rose"
@"Not Even A Member"

Those come out as:
Dave in KY
[font=Monaco, Consolas, Courier, monospace]Dave in KY[/font]
John Rose
@"Not Even A Member"

Without the quotes, this happens:

Code:

@Dave in KY

 is rendered as: [font=Monaco, Consolas, Courier, monospace]dave in KY[/font]

Let's try this name (since he's already involved in this thread and has no spaces in his user name) with an ampersand but without quotes - Mr_Houston
Yup. It works, because the underscore ties the "Mr to the "Houston".

Just curious, do use the glycerin as an aftershave balm or as a shaving oil? thanks

Neither.
I used it for "UberLather" experiments, UberLather being a combo of a hard soap, a cream, and a few drops or dribbles of glycerin.
I did not find that made any significant improvement to the lather.

John Rose thanks for the info.

Nope, I disagree with both you and John (from the Bread Lame post)...

You both SHOULD do it, so I know that I shouldn't. Lol.

Thanks for keeping me safe guys!

Paul, I'm glad someone got the joke and touche LOL

Arrived today, from Amazon. More the prep shower, really.

Silicone rubber soap bar holders.
It was surprisingly difficult to meet all of my criteria, but these work.

• drains off water from the bar so it doesn't go all squishy between showers
  
• the holder itself does not slide around on the shower wall shelf
  
• with the curvature of the tops of the ribs giving it raised sides front-to-back AND end-to-end, the soap bar does not easily slide off in any direction. Most of them are only curved front-to-back.
  
• the flexibility makes it easy to clean
  
• Does not rust or oxidize (unlike the chromed wire ones I have).
  
• soap slivers do not slip through (as with the wire ones)
  
• soapy water drips are directed off to the front side, not accumulating under it
  

I got some of these as well - same ones! One for the shower, one for my sink countertop for my PAA Cube 2.0 to rest on...they work pretty well so far.

Silicone rubber pad

I found mine in my kitchen. I think it's supposed to be for putting hot pans on, like a trivet.
It protects the sink from scratches from things like razor blade ends and the unglazed bottom of ceramic lather bowls.
Also if you drop the razor it would soften the landing a bit.

I don’t remember last time I used old spice must be since early 90’s I have to get one!!

When my current supply runs out, that's it for me. I don't much care for it anymore.

Then you should move onto PAA Cold Spices
