Well, done to the level I can do them at this point. Something I learned while doing research is that putting a light coating of mineral oil on the blade, after honing and after shaving, will keep the blade in good condition. I happened to have some, so coated not just the blades I have honed, but all of them. And, after honing this one, I coated it again. A cue-tip, oil, and a light touch. Okay, now, that made sense. It also has taught me how to oil my other tools. That has been on my mind for some time. From wrenches to socket and socket wrenches, on to shovels and such, I have been... bothered by the notion of oiling. While I might not use the same oils on all, or maybe... breaking new ground opens up care for my tools. I am certain the wheel grinder will work to get rust off my bigger tools, but an angle grinder might be necessary for some of it. Then to paint or oil the tools. Yeah, tools can only take care of you if you take care of them.
If I wake well tomorrow, I may get a shower in early, and try shaving again. I am a bit extra jittery, due to my last stab at shaving some years back. There was blood, and wounds. Don't shave with a blade that isn't sharp enough. And, no, the knife you carry, no matter how sharp, is not even designed to be as sharp as a razor needs to be. My problem is that I sent my razors through a sharpening process at the manufacturers, and that was wasted money. Don't do that. I trusted and was repaid with blood and cuts. If you get them sharpened, find a barber who still uses them and ask if he would mind. It will probably be cheaper, and much more sure. Still, as sharp as these are, they still need to be a bit sharper. But at least they don't cut me, they just pull a bit much. It's coming back from long ago I think. I'll get them there. The new supplies should be here within the week. Probably. Amazon seems to have fallen down on delivery this last year, or I have been ordering outliers?
Oh, I best get the trash out, and recycling. I suppose I will know if recycling was this week or not tomorrow afternoon. I will call my friend after this post, to see if he is interested in getting out. Finally, I will figure out my Chrony. It would be good to see how that works, and get it to work if it will. While warm enough, into the 50's, it has been cloudy lately. I have heard that it might not do well in that condition. Still, I would like to try. Then to bed. Earlier tonight, I hope. Good night.
