Mango Bow Tie Mans New Razor

Just bought this about 12 hours ago and i can not wait to shave with it. It is shave ready and i dont have to strop it but i might do so to make sure it is ready.

This exceptional razor has an Overall Length 10 1/4 inches. 

The blade is 3 inches by 3/4 inch rounded tip, half Hollow folded Damascus Steel.

The back(spine) of the blade has been etched with a unique pattern that adds to the overall beauty of the razor.

The scales(handle) are constructed of beautiful Camel Bone.

The razor is a functional work of art and is built to deliver trouble free shaving for years to come.

Sent to detention by YouTube Review

The article (Sent to detention by YouTube) from the Magazine (Upfront-The New York Times) talks about how some individuals put up videos/music that does not belong to them. I agree with what they say about this not being right but I don’t agree of how they punish them. They will block the account and if the person wants to keep their account they have to take a copyright course to get it back. It’s only a five minute video and a quiz at the end. I think they are not taking the right measure to get them to stop; they could give them some jail time just like the rest of the world would do. Some places even kill those who try to do it, but that’s too far. They could even fine them for doing it; they fine individuals if you pirate movies and sell them for a profit. Even so the course is not too bad to get them to stop, but I could see some better ways to handle it.

Mango Day!!

In Mrs. Outland's class there will be a day of Mangos. I will bring in the mango salsa that i have been making for the past 3 years. People from all over will want to try the salsa! We will have mango drinks and have a ton of chips. Also we will have a mild salsa for those that can't take the heat of the mango salsa. My salsa will have habanero's and some other hot peppers to give it a kick! Hope to see others come and bring in some mango related foods as well.

Ask Mango Bow Tie Man: How Do You Tie an Eldredge Knot?

How Do You Tie an Eldredge Knot?

Its been gaining a lot of popularity through images going viral on sites like Tumblr and Pinterest. And yes, the tie is as tricky to tie as it looks. This might take a heavy dose of patienc because this one might have you working up a sweat.

1. Make sure the wide end of the tie ends at the mid point of your belt because you will tie this entire knot with the little end.

2. While holding the big end in place–create a dimple–swing the little end over the front of the big end and go around the back.

3. Bring the little end up and over the front of the loop.

4. Bring the little end through the loop and towards the right side (make sure the knot is tight).

5. Now bring that little end over the center (of the knot) to the other side and bring it towards the back
again.

6. Bring the little end up over the top of the knot (make sure the knot is tight).

7. Now, this is when it gets a little tricky. Keep this part loose. Create a loose knot by bringing the little end behind and through the loop.

8. Pull the little end through and tighten till you get a tight knot.
It’s halftime baby – almost there. Take a deep breath, a sip of Gatorade and finish strong.

9. Bring the little end behind the loop.

10. Swing it up in front again.

11. And over the top towards the back and to the opposite end.

12. Go through the loop (keep it loose) in a similar fashion to step #7.

13. Pull through and tighten the knot.

14. Hide the remaining little end of the tie behind your loop.

15. Congrats! Now go and impress your friends and coworkers!

How To Tie A Trinity Knot?

Now, the Trinity knot is not as tricky as the Eldredge so if you consider yourself an Eldredge veteran already, this should be a breeze! Let’s dive right in:

1. Set the tie around your neck, leaving the big end at the point you want at your belt loop. The Trinity knot is tied with the little end (like the Eldredge).

2. Bring the little end over and under the big end through the loop.

3. Bring it over the top of the loop and put it through on the same side.

4. Go around the back of the hanging end to the other side.

5. Bring the end over the left side of the loop.

6. Bring it behind to the right side of the loop.

7. Bring the end horizontally over the knot (keep it loose).

8. Bring the little end through the loop, over the knot and down through the horizontal loop that was created in step 7.

9. Bring the end around the back to your left side (keep it loose).

10. Bring the little end through the top loop.

11. Hide the remaining little end of the tie behind your loop.

12. Congrats! Brush your shoulder off because you just completed it! Now stand tall, smile and be prepared to accept tons of compliments because no one else is rocking this!
