Up for sale is an almost new Del Ealy pairing knife. It is made with AEBL steel and desert ironwood. It is a gorgeous little knife but I never use it, opting instead for bigger knives. I have only used it once to cut up some strawberries for a smoothie (which was completely pointless as I have a...

I somehow managed to convince my girlfriend to come to celebrate Christmas with my family in California. And for the effort I rewarded her with an engagement ring! :biggrin: Just had to share!

Shaved this morning, switched back to Proraso, changed the blade and paid closer attention to my technique. MUCH better this time around. I think the technique was the biggest thing, I'm pretty sure I got lazy and started doing long drags and was pushing too hard and then using a used blade and...

I'd watch this. :happy2: http://www.hulu.com/watch/572617

Thanks for all the input guys! Next time I'm going to pay closer attention to my technique along with a new blade. Pretty sure I was pressing too hard.

I've been shaving with a boar's brush and cream for a while and finally order an Edwin Jagger DE89 razor. I was a bit nervous my first shave but it went fine, didn't nick myself at all. This morning I shaved again and it was the worst shave I've had a long time; I nicked my chin and got a weird...

Kinda relevant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HDhmQuSLRg

Also Pendery's is a great source for chili powder if you can't find good stuff locally or can't make it yourself. http://www.penderys.com/page41.html

I have a Vitamix but I'm using the regular container, is the dry blade container really necessary or that much better? I just haven't been able to plop out another $100+ on it.

+1 you'll find a bigger selection at a Mexican market but I've never found a regular grocery store that didn't have all of the dried chilis listed by the OP. I've made homemade chili powder using my Vitamix, but I've never pre-roasted, I'll have to give that a shot. Toasting and grinding your...

I've finally got my #7 Griswold slant logo seasoned up right; a frying egg will slide around beautifully. I'm so excited to finally have it seasoned so well. Just had to make some changes in my technique and also stopped relying on baking soda and/or salt for cleaning- hot water and a spatula...

I can't offer any alternatives in its price range, but I personally did not care for my Kono suji; it was far too thin and flexy for what I needed it for.

My girlfriend wanted chili so I made my first pot of the season. Before anyone starts bashing me for using beans, I'm not a chili purist. I love all types of chili. I do make a pretty good "pure" Texas Red chili with nothing but meat and chiles but sometimes I'll used ground beef/chili grind and...

OK, so I'm ready to get a DE razor, can anyone recommend one for a beginner? I don't really want to pay more than $40 since I also need a brush, bowl, etc. Also what blades should I start with?

Well, if she expected the first design I can see how she'd be disappointed by the new design. Wouldn't hurt to offer both designs for sale, at least initially to see how customer demand is. I think I prefer the original design myself.

I've been looking to start shaving with a DE. I just picked up a tube of Proraso shaving cream and I'm surprised how much better of a shave I get with just using that and cartridges. I'm now intrigued by pre-shave oils, soaps, brushes, razors, etc.

The Seiko 805 is part of the Seiko 5 series. They are well known for being very dependable, especially for how budget friendly they are. It's hard to go wrong with this watch. They're very classy and can be dressed up or down with a cheap strap replacement. I'd definitely go for one of these...

That looks amazing. Whats in the dutch oven, is it just to catch drippings and add moisture to the cooking area? Did you cook it direct at all or did it sit over the pot the whole time? Was it cooked open the whole time or did you cover it with some type of lid? I'm always intrigued by makeshift...

Very nice! I'd love to see pics of the pies!
