Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

Thursday’s Shave 

Boker Tree Brand Razor
Fluffy Industries Copper Edition Brush 
SV Opuntia 
Tabac Man

Last two shaves.Both good. 




Alot going on here at Casa Fluffy. 

The long awaited launch of Fluffy Industries Artisanal Sourdough Bread. Has begun to take shape in the form of the first loaf. 
Also a package arrived from Kentucky bearing many shiny objects. That are super appreciated. One will be critical to the success of my bread making venture. 
On to of that I have started to do some painting on the first floor of my stately row home. Apparently white is not the "in" color for ones domicile. As I have been informed by SWMBO.
So a expertly applied layer of "Taupe Tease" paint will adorn the living/dining room area. The trim will be a nice contrasting satin white. Of course once the paint is done. Then something else will then be determined to NOT be up to snuff. And the cycle will continue. Until Lucifer needs to don at least a windbreaker of nice cardigan sweater. Such is the nature of things.

Dave in KY  
Very generous grab bag of gifts from my buddy Dave.
I certainly "needed" a few more straights. As my collection is easily contained in one small area of my side of the bedroom.    They are all nice examples of vintage razors. And all will used with nice thoughts about how they came into my collection. The LNHC balm is very good stuff. But the neatest item is the the bread lame. A fancy device used just before putting bread into the oven. To score/cut the loaf to allow it to rise and not "tear" in a place you do not desire. It uses DE blades. So a fresh Voskhod will be loaded into it tomorrow for use on my first loaf. Mucho thoughtful item to include in with a lot of other great gifts Dave. Thank you very much buddy

Nice score! I am still going to google a bread lame to check it out.

First batch of dough. Made using my sourdough starter. Which I have named “Tuco”. Tomorrow evening will be when it will finally be put into the oven and we can see if Tuco and I were up to the challenge.

Well today Tuco and I  had our final exam. 
Gonna give the result a B+. 
Sandwiches for lunch tomorrow will be old school.

Sunday’s Shave 


Wosty Pipe Razor 
Fluffy Industries Brass Edition Boar 
DR Harris Arlington Soap 
Avon Leather

The razor and AS are in my den as a result of my good friend Dave in KY   
Don’t think my journey through wet shaving would be as enjoyable. If I had not met Dave. 
The Avon leather AS is a favorite of that brand. 
Hope you are all ready for Monday folks. Except for Eric he’s gonna be off work, so he doesn’t need to be ready.
