New toys

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

1. Rubbermaid electric scrubber.  Looks like an electric tooth brush but 50% larger and several times more powerful.  It's a grand and glorious way to scrub the burners on my gas range, clean and polish kitchen and bathroom faucets and shower heads, get into nooks and crannies on my fridge, and I'm still looking for new places to use it in the car, workshop, laundry room, etc.

 

2. Vikings Blade "Emperor Meiji" safety razor.  I have used all kinds of razors including a German throat cutter, throw away plastic POS razors, and a Gillette adjustable safety razor that finally gave up the ghost after  nearly 64 years.

 

Did some research and found this one onAmazon with very good ratings.  Comes without blades, but I have a few year's supply of Wilkinson Sword double edge blades that are as good as I can find anywhere.

Very heavy, 10 settings, smoother than almost any I have used in the past and very easy to master the head and get a near perfect shave over Col. Ichabod Conk's shaving bar soap.

Toys, huh?

 

I was expecting a brace of pistols or maybe a pair of 1911s…

 

Scrubbers and scrapers ain’t toys…

Swapped out the gas cooktop for induction. 

 

Un-freaking-believable.   Everything that I thought gas was, isn't.

If I think of them as toys it ain't as much work.  If I think of them as tools I'll never get as much work done.

When we moved to Arizona we rented an apartment until we found a house.  I had an induction range.

 

I hated that thing right from the beginning...and it didn't help that some idiot put a heat and smoke fire alarm on the wall right over of the center of the stove.  I disconnected that after the second morning

Try turning on an induction burner during a power outage!
