Very rapid garlic peeling

Thanks for this wonderful find to Leisureguy, posted on his blog today. I go through a lot of garlic. To steal a line from Mr. Italo’s daughter, “Garlic is my natural odor”. But I do hate peeling it, especially when I’m using a whole head (which is most of the time). And my poor supertaster wife has been living with this for 37 years!

Wilkinson Sword, Day 4

This is day 4 on the same Wilkinson Sword DE blade, trying to take it to exhaustion in order to establish its real and “normal” useable life-span, prior to doing the test of the Razorpit.

The blade, surprisingly, continues to perform well, although it is getting a little draggy, and the alum block tells a tale of somewhat heightened irritation. I’m sure I’ll get 5 shaves out of it at this point, but can’t count on six. The risk of getting nicked rises as the blade gets rougher and unpredictable.
