Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

If you forget to feed the starter it can be resurrected with some yest again..........................so m wife tells me.....She's had a starter going and making sourdough for years. Wishing you success

So you are saying ol’ Fluffy is forgetful? 
Dang Dave. Tough crowd.

No NO NO, just an IF it happens.

Tuesday’s shave. 

Griffon Carbo Magnetic
Fluffy Industries Copper Edition Brush Boar
TABAC.

So do you load Tabac off the puck and transfer the lather over to the scuttle?

Or do you scoop the soap out and build the lather in the scuttle?

Tabac is such a hard soap!

I usually load off the puck. Put a dash of water on top before I hop in the shower. Then it’s pretty easy to get plenty of lather. Even with a not so stiff brush. Since the knot in my brass brush is new and stiff I did not pre wet the puck for this shave however.

Wednesday's Shave


Genco Pyramid Razor (Guanxi Edge)
Yaqui Badger Brush
Victory Flak Bait Soap
Nivea Deep AS

Good shave with the Genco. The PHIG/Guanxi hone. Is going to be a nice option to put a "forgiving" edge on my straights.  For  now I am done playing with it. 
My side venture into the world of sourdough baking is looking pretty good. My starter is doing what it is supposed to. As in doubling in size in 4 hours. And has a nice 'tangy' smell to it.  This weekend will be the first bake. I am enjoying learning a new skill. But Man-o' -Manischewitz. The amount of differing opinions and recipes floating around the internet. The how to's and videos. Too many head filling factoids. I decided to put blinders on. And pick one starting point/recipe follow it closely and get good at that. Then maybe branch out. 
Do you believe there are people that spend countless amounts of time. Posting on baking forums. Making videos and writing up tips and tricks. On something as simple as mixing together flour, water and salt. And then throwing it into an oven.  Man get a life people. 
Hope everyone's hump day went well. 
Fluffy

Somewhere there is some guy on a bread forum posting about his start into wet shaving and the nut jobs on these shave forums 

Now that's funny!

This came across my family Facebook page, and I thought of Ken and wings posts from some weeks ago.

I love wings Eric. But they need to be extra crisp.  Hot sauce, old bay or lemon pepper. Dang now I'm hungry.

We like Old Bay when we boil some Gulf shrimp. Lip smacking good!
