A very nice bit of Sunday Str8 sink time, i completed my 2 pass shave routine with some touch-up here and there for an excellent, close, no error finish with the Koraat. Its not the keenest edge i have put on a razor but boy it is smooth on the skin.
I did a bit of lead training with Taff this morning and he did very well.
Enjoy your Sunday all.

Hi Ron,

Can I ask why the thunderstorms mean you have to put your shower on hold? I live in the UK so completely different weather here.

thanks
Mark

I've lived in two houses that were struck by lightning on a fairly regular basis. My grandmother's house had a metal kitchen sink. Every time the lightning would hit close you could hear it pop and crack in the sink. No one went near any plumbing during a storm. Avoiding showers cost nothing and being in the way of a lightning strike can cost you everything. I hope that explains things.

Was literally discussing this with the wife a few days ago. No idea why. I was the skeptic. Thanks for sharing real world experience. Not sure yet how to tell the wife she was right…
