I lay a dusting of it in areas where I notice ants entering under our house. When Nik did some work on the house, we also took the opportunity to sprinkle DE under the door frame and inside nooks and crannies that normally only ants can get to. With the hot weather recently, we were noticing the large ants creeping all over, and we killed them by hand. The weather's cooled and they've disappeared. Anyway, rather than killing with a chemical, DE causes micro abbrasions that kill the insect, without harming larger critters. It's safe to feed animals for parasites, even. It should be used carefully, though, because it will harm beneficial insects as well, like our soil fauna.Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-7134440099610897502013-05-21T22:26:08.797-07:002013-05-21T22:26:08.797-07:00Thanks Katie, I'll check it out.

I think he's halfway through his second one- they last a long time! I'm sure you could order them online. I've also seen recipes for homemade shaving soap. Nik says, with a straight razor, it's more about having water on your face than soap, but the soap helps hold the water on his skin.Mellowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320881197482295606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-62709183046155459892012-09-11T06:53:26.400-07:002012-09-11T06:53:26.400-07:00Could you tell me what kind of soap he uses, and w...Could you tell me what kind of soap he uses, and where you get it.

When your done shaving, rinse the blade well to make sure there's no hair caught in it. Open a regular bottle of alcohol and pour a little on the razor, making sure to wet the entire head. Put it blade side up to dry. If ever it starts to feel just a little scratchy, I simply rub the head THE WRONG WAY over my arm or leg (opposite the direction you'd use it to shave with it). It seems to knock any burrs off of it. <br /><br />I think this would work with any type of blade you use. I was told that it's the little bits of rust that get started that dull the blade. Using alcohol on it causes the water to be displaced. It all evaporates quickly, so there's no time for rust to build up. <br /><br />One of these days, I'm going to get an old-fashioned razor. I think it's probably an even closer shave with one, plus it can deal with the longer hair for those whom don't shave as often.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414690312305496399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-67093144732509975582012-06-25T11:58:59.915-07:002012-06-25T11:58:59.915-07:00That type of razor sounds interesting!

You pop the blade on top and turn the handle and it closes tight. I like that it is all metal so it's easy to clean if he gets a skin infection. In a pinch once I used it to shave my armpits/ legs . Closest shave I've ever had and I forgot to change the blade but it didn't even nik him. The old blades get used as scapers in the garage after he's done. We buy maybe 1-2 pks of blades a yr. which is around 1.99 a pk and a bit less scary than a straight razor/strop. If anyone else wants the straight/strop look on civil war reenactor websites. Most encampments encourage their use over modern razors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3846822951017254806.post-44289620647009126772012-06-25T07:52:51.299-07:002012-06-25T07:52:51.299-07:00Thank you!
