Some cool how to images:
How to know that you live in Bologna…
Image by the Italian voice
This is my LO for the 28th week of the 2008 Scrap Challenge, scrappers had to prepare a page with free topic, but using material such as tissue, cork and so on.
I chosed to use two postcards of Bologna, which I bought some months ago from a newsdealer just with the idea of using them for a layout.
The title recalls, in Italian, my latest entry at "TheItalianVoice" blog, I wrote an hilarious and educational list of points to use about "How to know that you live in Bologna or province, Italy".
I didn’t write the journaling, but I used some scraps where I’ve written some of the points of my list.
About the material, I used a "flowering" vellum paper which I glued in the central part of the page and some flowers of felt and tissue; I also used the green glittered powder with the glue to create some sparkling doodlings, two paper clips, two green letters of the alphabet (die cut style) and a flower-shaped brad.
You can find all the details about the challenge in my blog for scrapbooking (in English) at Juicy Creations, comments and suggestions are always very appreciated.
How to Wet Shave in 60 Seconds
Image by chrismar
I’ve been wet shaving for about a year now, and making time lapse videos for about 4 years now. Today I’ve combined both of them into a time lapse video about wet shaving.
I realize the steps might be a little ambiguous, so here they are in more detail:
Step 1 – Trim the Bulk: I started with two months of beard growth. It’d be silly to try and take that all off with a safety razor. I used a beard trimmer to remove most of the hair on my face.
Step 2 – Use a Fresh Blade: I had been using my existing blade for a while to keep my neck and cheeks tidy. For a major job as this I decided to use a fresh blade.
Step 3 – Soak the Bowl & Brush: Soaking the brush makes sure all the hairs get nice and saturated with water. Soaking the bowl will help you make a nice warm lather. I soaked them both in hot water for about 5 minutes.
Step 4 – Prep the Face: I generally shave right out of the shower, and in my opinion that is the best time. But, for this video I didn’t take a shower before hand, so I soaked a towel in hot water and let it set on my face for 5 minutes to open up the pores and hair follicles.
Step 5 – Make the Lather: I made a "super lather" consisting of Proraso shaving cream and Col. Conk Glycerine shave soap. Watch for the nice peak so you know your lather is ready!
Step 6 – First Pass – With the Grain: The first pass should go with the grain on your face. I mixed up my hand signals on this one and the "against the grain" pass. Remember, don’t apply any pressure! The weight of the safety razor should be enough!
Step 7 – Second Pass – Across the Grain: The second pass should go across the grain on your face.
Step 8 – Third Pass – Against the Grain: The third pass should go against the grain. Remember, no pressure!
Step 9 – Fix Any Rough Spots: Apply more lather to any rough spots that might need a 4th going over. I had to go over my chin and upper lip a couple of more times.
Step 10 – Cold Water Rinse: Close up those pores with a splash of cold water!
Step 11 – Blot Dry: Don’t wipe your face dry, you’ll make it angry and irritated!
Step 12 – Aftershave Balm: Apply some aftershave balm or cream. Don’t use anything alcohol based, it’ll burn and make your face unhappy!
Step 13 – Success!: Baby Bottom Smooth (BBS) shave! Hooray!
