Which is next on the horizon: digital calipers or gold-plated ATT SE1?

Excellent! Find a gringo willing to ship a $50 digital up your way or is it another Mitutoyo like in the video?

Fumbling about.
I'll be interested...digital or non-digital.
I have non-digital (two, one at home, one at the office), but occasionally think a digital pair is also a necessity.
However, I've spent my money already [on hair clippers for my upcoming DIY haircut(s)].
Happy shaves,

I got my manual Cabellipers when a pen pal couldn’t stand them for reloading. They‘re very easy to take off zero and flush a few minutes of intense struggle drainwards.
You don’t just take a straight razor outside with a pitcher of ice water and Fast Eddie Clarke era Motörhead on a Bluetooth speaker?

I ordered the iGaging in that video from Ebay. They should be here this week but things are running a bit behind lately.
Hoping it finds you soon

Calipers yet?

Yep, they got here.
Obviously, the best inaugural use is measuring safety razor caps.

Fumbling about.
Or, the thickness of safety razor blades.
Mostly I measure the knots of brushes, their loft heights, and, recently, the wells of handles (well, one handle) into which a knot can be inserted.
Digital calipers would probably make me crazy.
Don't say it.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Just because I read it when you wrote doesn’t mean I’ll forget a few more times. Aside from work and showering my bride and our babby with invaluable dad jokes, most of my remaining brain capacity has gone towards writing “Fatip“ thusly to stop annoying @Raven Koenes and not turn @Cal ‘s face extra super red+.

Its spelled Fatip, but remember, in your head it sounds like Fateeeeep lol.
That’s how I pronounce it mentally. I saw it spelled the other way when I first started scouring sites; it’s been spelled that way by some B&Bers since 2012CE; and the elegant panache stuck with me.

I keep picturing half drunk Italians standing around a table waving bottles of wine arguing about how we pronounce it lol.
My spelling is idiosyncratic. Pronunciation as though avoiding a fat leeeep
The first time I saw one I though it said FatLip and it made it sound scarier. Even now I spell and see Fatip but I don't hear Fateeeep, I hear Fat Tip and think Fat Lip! The Mike Tyson of razors.

Remember to forget me!
"Face chomping wonky thing" is a lot less confusing.
May I quote this when referring to my Fatip Lo Storto?
