Best value........

I find that Kiss My Face Moisture Cremes to be the best value for the money spent....even their olive oil bar soap alone, beats out many of the higher priced creams & soaps!

Wiggle stop.......

I would throughly clean (& dry the razors for several days) & then apply a super glue to the handle to the head....never hurts & you don't want a movable head on your razor.

I really want to thank you all. Now I can't get the score from Oklahoma! out of my head. "There's a slight golden to my Sabini. There's a slight golden hue to my Sabini. The corn is as high as an elephant's eye..." Careful, that's what drove Richard Simmons over the edge.......... :shock:

You email Lee directly. However, I'll say that they're all different and you can't be too picky about what you want. I've handled 5 so far. They're mostly protos and some aren't completely finished. But the price is right!
Ok...where?

They are the best deal in Shaving Creams! They are slick, easy to find, lather like a champ & give excellent results...hard to beat for the price!

Try this........

This Muhele Pinsel:

has a bulb shape, but it will bloom slightly more than a Shavemac. Best of both worlds in my opinion....plus it's beautiful!

Hard water.........

The county next to mine is Limestone County. I also used to do large aquariums, so I know our water to be super hard. I've not had one problem with Proraso, Kiss My Face, Palmolive, Kent's Wool Fat, Coates, Trumpers, T&H or any others... I don't think the water hardness makes that much of a real...

Well, I don't know that you've quite grasped the point of the thread, Kalypso. It started out as a poll, and then it became a discussion of the issue of global warming. I assumed that we would post evidence for and against its occurrence and the role of humanity in causing it: reasoned and fact-bas...
