    Poorboy`s Foaming Shampoo (Grapes, Above and Beyond) ;)

    Had a chance to use PoorBoy`s foaming shampoo (SHAMFOAM) yesterday. It`s not really called that but I can see that skinny Aussie guy saying ShamFoam. ;) As others have said it`s purple and smells like grapes. This car is my daughter`s, she and her sister helped with the wash and both commented...

    Poorboy`s Typhoon

    I`ll start by saying I`m sorry to Steve and Dwayne for taking so long to post this. I actually used Typhoon once before but my wife folded my towels and I really didn`t know which was which. First I`ll start by saying that I did a couple of very small loads, perhaps a half dozen or so of cheap...

    Electric pressure washer

    I said that Id keep you updated on the progress of my pressure washer. It hasnt gone as expected. The replacement washer showed up yesterday. It is a Karcher K5.740 and my original purchase was a K5 Premium. I had done a bit of research prior to buying the unit I did and had found the the K5.740...

    MTM Hydro Versions

    Shawn, a tapered screwdriver might do exactly as youve said, tear the jet up. A gunsmithing driver is flat for a considerable distance up the shaft (hollow ground is the term). The right size hollow ground or precision ground driver is ideal for changing jets. The trade off is that these are...

    How many HP can a skilled driver give up and still win?

    Apparently quite a few. If Ron were driving the out come would have been quite different. ;) XfWDYoDIiPM

    Wheel-well brush/tool help?

    Ha! You need a pillow/cushion for your floor jack. I use a block of hardwood (actually 2, one for each side using two jacks) with a slot cut in it to straddle the pinch weld on one of my cars when not lifting by the suspension. Might not be soft enough for your purposes and would definitely be...

    Ready for the range

    Accumulator, correct me if I'm wrong but weren't the Plus and the 6 shot cylinder both available at the same time as an either or depending upon barrel length? There are 5, 686's in this pic. Two of them are the Plus model. There's also a 629 (44 Magnum) and a 619 (Target .22 LR). The...

    Broke Down - New Polisher

    I guess the broke down part best describes me and my old bones. Seriously though, been kicking the idea around for months now and finally picked up a Boss 15 last week. Looking forward to giving it a shot. I didn't need another polisher in fact a few months ago I gave two of my collection away...

    Lets talk about shaving

    I like the second shave on blades also. The brush you have will never be a soft as some of the high dollar badgers but they do tend to "loosen" up a bit. It will also shed for a while but it slows and eventually gets to a point where it rarely does. I feel bad for making the recommendation...

    Lets talk about shaving

    Took you gentlemen's posts as a recommendation. Picked up some at WalMart today. Can't complain about the price, it was around $5. I look forward to giving it a shot. Might make this scuttle obsolete.

    Lets talk about shaving

    I know this will sound silly, in fact I feel a bit silly typing this. Telling someone how to shave is like telling them how to take a deep breathe but it isn't as instinctive as it may appear. I've had this same discussion dozens of times over the years with relatives, friends and co-workers but...

    Lets talk about shaving

    This one is a Damascus blade. It's very interesting. You asked about tips and secrets and I don't know that I have any but I will say when it comes to shaving soaps, use a good one. Proraso for instance is one that isn't cost prohibitive but works very well. If you like creams Bath and Body...
