Fluffy’s Curmudgeon Corner

Hey MaineYooper I’ve considered PVC versions but the fittings just don’t really work as well dimension wise vs the copper. If I ever find types that may work. I’ll cobble one or two together and send em out for beta testing. 
If Yaqui would like to use any of Fluffy Industries designs and features. I would be glad to negotiate a fair licensing agreement. As the trademarks and patents are presently in full effect.

Tabac Tuesday fell on December 7th.  An extremely consequential date in world history. And one that always causes me to pause and reflect on my grandparents generation.
This year another thing hit me while I thought about the aftermath of The Pearl Harbor Attack. As a result of this event. My grandfather and his three brothers enlisted. Three in the Army and one, my Uncle Robert into the Navy. My grandfather wound up at APG here in Harford County MD.  My grandmother came down to the same base from Wilkes-Barre PA for a good paying job. They first had her assembling gas masks. But she had an allergic reaction to the glue used on them. So she went to another building and was trained to assemble 105mm Howitzer mustard gas shells. Where Gus my grandfather was assigned. 6 years later my dad was born. So in a way I'm here as a result of that day 80 years ago. I'm sure many of you have some family stories around this "Date that will live in infamy. 

The shave.

Productive day today. 
Reassembled my push mower. I had taken everything off the deck to sandblast it and repaint the underside. It's a nice Honda mower. And I want to keep the demise of most mowers. Swiss cheese rust deck syndrome at bay.
 Then did some more tinkering in the workshop. The Route 66 brush handle is almost done. May go exploring some other stores to look for some more possibilites.  
Wednesday's Shave


Hope you all had as good a hump day.

That was a very good piece of family history that you shared. My maternal grandfather was a scout in the European theater. He never talked about it, other than to say that he saw France and Italy mostly on his belly. More was learned when a German immigrant moved to our small town and began attending our church. He recognized Grandpa Ralph, and swore that he was captured by him, and thus saved him from sure death on the front. Irwin was a young teenager at the time, scared poop less. Every one by that time knew that the end was near, since young boys were being conscripted and sent to the fronts.

Thanks again, we need to remember. And we need to pay attention to the ideals common to us then, that would make young men enlist, in order to protect loved ones, home, and country from the aggressor.

Thursday’s Shave 

Nano Razor Schick blade (6)
Lakewood Soaps Lard Lass sample 
Fluffy Industries Copper Edition Brush 
Master Barber Spice

Busy day today in the Fluffy Industries workshop. Four new models are now done. One is a very different looking brush from the others. Our first Bi-metal design. 

First we have the "The Route 66" This brush with six sides top and bottom is a smooth highway to a good lather. The larger girth gives you excellent control as you operate the brush. 
Make sure you start out with full tub of quality soap. Because once you drive the 66 you'll want to keep going. All other brushes may seem pointless and boring.

Second brush is the "86" this model we have developed two lengths. The shorter is the "86S" 
This smart looking brush is one you will want to get. Unlock the secret agent to a great lather with this brush. Calm the chaos in your shave den. Pick up the "86" you won't be "sorry about that".

Last brush to debut today is the "Hexagon"  The Fluffy Industries designers started with a clean sheet. What's better than one type of metal for a handle? Two...Duh! If two types of metal makes a handle better. Then what could possibly add to it's form and function. This three piece brush has a trick up its sleeve. Just unscrew the cap to reveal a secret compartment. With plenty of room to hide micro film. Or a list of all the positive things your mother in law has said about you. And it almost certainly will fit all the money you have saved from switching over to wet shaving....Duh!. 
Besides that the stout size gives superior maneuverability about your purdy face.  And as with all Fluffy Industries brushes.  It is equipped the our patented world famous "Magic Magnetic" hanging system.

Words fail me. Industrially stunning! The 86s got my attention first, followed by the secret compartment. Love the list of things to hide in it!
