How To Remove Stain Without Sanding?
What's the best way to strip pipe stain without sanding? I've tried wiping with acetone, iso, even baking soda and vinegar. I'm working on restaining a Kaywoodie and I do not want to sand down the stamping. Do I need to soak the stummel in solvent? I don't seem to be even making a dent in...- elessar

Straight Razors...Anyone Use Them or Collect Them? Found One At An Antique Shop. (Pics)

I Wasn't Going To Post This But....
I've always had good customer service via email with P&C. Still lucky I guess. I will give an example. I was caught up in one their debacles involving in stock Esoterica that quickly evaporated. Many others here probably were caught as well. Orders were processed as in stock, then...- elessar

Broken Cake Question
I would ream it. Not for fear of burning but for fear of cracking the pipe. The uneven heating and expansion/contraction caused by a missing chunk of cake would be my concern. Just my .02.- elessar

I Wasn't Going To Post This But....
I'll break from the crowd here and say I've had nothing but good experiences with P&C. That said I have an order in route and used the free shipping option (which is usually surepost no matter who the vendor is). So I'm a little nervous. I had one specific incident where they really went...- elessar

Astonishing Swiss Precision.
I too have really grown to like the titanium watches. This watch has been posted here before but it has gotten significant wear time and I am impressed how it has held up. It's driven by an ETA movement which has surprised me with its accuracy.- elessar

Absolute Best Knife For Cutting Plugs
I have enjoyed following this thread as it gives me more things to try with my knives. But for all my plugs I just tear a chunk off by hand and rub it out. Ropes get the cigar cutter. I will try a knife next time. I am thinking my S30V Buck will be perfect for this task.- elessar

Talk to Me About Wrist Watches
That should be a simple fix. I can attempt to fix it for you if you want. I know there are others on here who can probably fix it as well, and with more experience at such repairs then myself. I just do watch repairs on my own watches.- elessar

Bizarre News Story Of Your Day
A week or so back I saw a news headline that read something like, "Perineum sunning leaves Josh Brolin crazy burned as doctors warn against viral wellness trend...". Personally, I think Taint Tanning is a better name for this wellness trend. But seriously WTF lol.- elessar
