    What do you use to shave?

    How do I unpin and repin a razor? I've never done that before. Do I need any sorts of special tools? Or can it be done with stuff that I have just lying around the house?

    What do you use to shave?

    I have a question for straight-razor users. I recently purchased a very nice BENGALL straight. It's in perfect condition apart from ONE annoying little issue. Sometimes when I close it, the blade strikes the edge of the scales. The scales are celluloid faux-ivory. Is there any way...

    1930s typewriter

    The typewriter shown doesn't allow for that. Although that is how you would usually do it.

    You know you are getting old when:

    In the case of my grandmother - You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake. If she was alive today (and she died just 3 years ago), my grandmother would be 100 years old next month. You know you're getting old when you tell younger people to do something which makes...

    Prewar steamship fares

    I remember the thread you're talking about. I contributed to it. But I don't remember where it is. 'round the world cruises will always be expensive. No matter when or where they happen.

    You know you are getting old when:

    You know you're getting old when there are people younger than you who don't know how to use the technology that you did when you were growing up. Typewriters. Rotary phones. Walkmans. Film cameras. I could go on and on. You know you're getting old when you make a cultural...

    Walking Sticks & Canes.

    There is a VERY prominent thread on the Lounge somewhere regarding just this exact topic. But sadly I don't know where it is. I'm surprised you couldn't find it. But I know for a fact that there is one. Here it is...

    1930s typewriter

    LOL!! I was going to suggest brackets with a full-stop underneath. But I know what that looks like on MY typewriter and I don't think it'll work... It was always ' + . I'm stumped!

    Trouble with blades

    Interesting predicament. About the only way around this would be to buy regular DE razor-blades (still manufactured in their billions) and cut notches in the blade-ends. But these blades are designed to be very flimsy and breakable. So I would be very careful about trying that.

    College ring

    I always thought class/university/school rings were a chiefly AMERICAN tradition. I've not seen it being done in many other places on earth. It's offered here in Australia, and possibly in England (?), but I don't know where else this tradition exists.

    College ring

    I agree with Atticus. It's too simple to be a university/college ring. I had my college ring produced when I graduated back in 2010 or whenever it was. It had my graduating year, the university, and my degree (B.A. Bachelor of Arts). I don't see anything like that marked on that ring.
