For this morning's shave I enjoyed a long overdue outing with the Piccolo and Semogue 610 and very nice it was too
Any pictures? Curious to see how that looks like.So I've installed the @Tanuki patented semi-parabolic HEXPOL hyper-polymer grip enhancement rings
Any pictures? Curious to see how that looks like.
Cheers,
Guido
Of the grip…I did see your fine set up!
The Netherlands has awesome food! The seafaring trade in the past brought a lot of awesome cuisines to the Netherlands. I can't speak to French food in France but, the quality and variety of cuisines is outstanding in the Netherlands. I like German food too but, the variety is pretty narrow and Doner Kebab is essentially a Turkish import for a little bit of variety when the German classics get to be a bit much, and I have also enjoyed them in the Netherlands!I'm usually a bit jealous of Guido because he has access to some great Indonesian food in the Netherlands.... but we leave for Bali two weeks from today... so I won't be green with envy for a month straight. <eg>
On a somewhat related thought, does anyone make aftermarket handles that fit the Fatip razors without swapping the top cap for a more standardized threading?
No nothing Covid related. Alignment issues are one of the special features ever since Fatip began making razors. The risk of buying is reversed - you might end up with one that actually aligns brilliantly.Are the poor QC and alignment issues related to COVID staff changes? When did the alignment problems start? Any risk of buying one today and getting a "dud"?
Lest not forget the ever-popular stamppot boerenkool, referred to by my grandmother from Groeningin as mous/mouse, it gives the Brits a run for their money in the cuisine department.The Netherlands has awesome food!

I'm a huge fan of Fatip for anyone looking for a great razor at a modest price. I'm not sure about the reports of alignment issues today because mine are both several years old!

Stamppot was the one food I really didn't like as a child. I remember hanging out to see what was for dinner. When my grandmother brought out the big mixing bowl to mash everything together I remember the sense of dread. The color just didn't seem right. That is because she would add turnips and rhubarb to the mix. She called it mouse and it looked like a dead mashed one to me. As an adult I love it. I wish I could turn back the clock to appreciate her and the love she put into it.My Dutch friend introduced me to that at Signaal one day at the company cafeteria when the "hot grill" was closed. He sort of apologized since I normally patronized that part of the company lunchroom staying with the common staples of my meals at home in the USA.
Little did he know that would become a highlight of my dining there! That and the Green Herring on Saturday morning beside the church in the center of town. The locals got a big kick out of this foreigner eating all the Herring! 3 little trays with some diced onion was apparently a bit unusual for that fish truck!
When I got home, I tried making my own but, I didn't know its name or spelling well enough to Google it so, I ended up making Irish Colcannon my "special occasion" meal back home in the USA. Irish Colcannon and Stamppot Boerenkool appear to be very similar and what I made was certainly close enough to make me happy!
This and a little brown gravy was a huge hit with my mother as well!

Now to look up Irish Colcannon, I've never heard of it.
