Two New Razors

OK, I know. I said I won't be buying any new hardware this year, and here I am in February with two new razors. I should just stay off AliExpress. Anyhow, here they are. The first one is the Henson clone. I have the black version of this razor, and it is a great razor. It was ridiculously cheap, and I thought with two, I wouldn't feel bad about piffing one one day.  
The second one I have not seen before, and the price was right. It is a JiFULI double edge safety razor. It is a two piece razor. Unscrewing the handle separates the cap from the base plate and handle. I am looking forward to giving it a go next week. I read one testimony that reported that it was aggressive and efficient.

Jayaruh #475, 476, and 477

 I worked on three new brushes today. I saw one of similar form on one of the shaving forums and put it in the back of my mind until the weather changed. That was today. It got up to 61 degrees with clear skies. 

The brush that sparked the idea.

I had two synthetic knots left over. I cut out three blanks today. One was bacote, one was walnut, and one was pine. I did the pine first to experiment and see how it might go. I turned all the handles and set them aside as I finished them. Next, I made the knot holes one at a time. Again, I started with the pine. The two knots are 20 mm, so I used a 3/4 inch Forstner bit to start. Then I used a Dremel to increase the hole to fit the knot. I finished by giving each two coats of polyurethane. 

Finally, I took pictures with the knots dry fitted. I have ordered three more knots, so I will be able to finish all three. I still need to give each of them a JR#.

Well, this was my planned shave for today, but we had a big snow yesterday. and at 3 AM this morning we lost power. It just came on about 3 PM. I did now shave, and I will shave tomorrow with another setup. It got down to 48 degrees in the house. We went down to the clubhouse which has a gas heater and a gas stove. I thought I'd make a frozen pizza there. However, a gas stove will not work without electricity. We stayed down there about an hour with another homeowner. The temp outside was12 degrees. When I entered my 48 degree house, it felt like the house was heated. HA! It was just 36 degrees warmer.
