Hi again,

Just to say thanks to this community for the help with the Ever Ready 1912 boot sale find I posted the other day.

The blades arrived yesterday and I had a very nice shave with it this morning. A very close shave in fact, closer than my prior daily driver the Edwin Jagger DE89.

I also like the big feedback this razor has and how it reverberates down the handle. Feels serious!

Anyways, thanks to everyone who helped me find the right blades! Shave on!

Hi folks,

Been shaving my head with DEs for years. The shinier the better!

Well, I just picked this razor up at a boot sale, knowing basically nothing about vintage razors. It was cheap, and I like the ornate handle, so "why not?", I thought.

However, I tried a DE blade in it and it didn't fit. Does anyone know the name for the blade this accepts? I assume it takes a SE blade, but a standard one looks too skinny.

I've seen people on the Internet talking about "Gem" blades. Not much comes up for that when I search UK suppliers, so I wonder if there's another name for them?

Maybe you can't get them any more...

Any advice? I'd like the give it a spin.

Cheers

Hey,

I was wondering what folks use to quickly send a file or a link between your PC and android phone in a lightweight and self hosted way.

Currently I use syncthing to copy files around, but I'm looking for something more immediate, and quick than doesn't involve searching for folders in a file manager.

Example use case: Send a file from PC to phone. Notification pops up on phone, tap it to access.

(PC runs OpenBSD)

What lightweight software do you guys use?

Stuff I tried so far:

• syncthing
• xmpp
• tox
• scp and termux.
• magic wormhole
• telegram saved messages

More like "Junk shop opens in former Wilko store"?

Fellow brits will understand.
