Hi, all. Been gone a while.

I remember talk of a T&H store setting up in Manhattan. Anyone know if anything ever came of it?

Hey, these got posted about on Lifehacker!

Great stuff, by the way!

I say get the Cliquot. Far better than the White Star, and way better than overrated Dom et al.

I used to use my alum block just on nicks, till Robert shaved me at Sak's. After the shave, he wetted a block and did my whole face with it. Made quite a difference!

Sean, if you have any Indian/Pakistani/Middle Eastern markets nearby, check them out. I got an alum block at one for about 3 bucks!

we'll have to wait more than a year, but still.... This is from Tesco's website: 09/02/2006 - TESCO TO ENTER UNITED STATES Tesco PLC today announces that it intends to enter the United States through the development of a new convenience format, beginning on the West Coast in 2007. The development of...

NOt only does it work the same; you've now got a cool box to display!

They're all basically the same.

born in Brooklyn, raised in Satan Island and now live in Meanhattan.

Have you tried BB&B or The Container Store? Or a beauty-supplies store (like the Ricky's chain here in NYC)? They should have stuff.

Last week I bought a 30GB Creative Zen Vision: M (that names trips so lightly across the tongue). Essentially, it's just like the 30-gig iPod. BUT The screen displays more colors. The picture is incredible. It can play 4 hours of video, as opposed to the iPod's 2 hours, before recharging is necessar...

The brush from Baxter is a relabelled MP. I have one, and it's an okay brush, good for travel, and once-in-a-while use.

Nice piece. I started it and thought, "Oh, another of those gonna-get-a-straight-razor-shave-on-my-wedding-day stories." You gave it a nice twist: You tried to learn yourself rather than have someone shave you. But that didn't work out. "Oh, here comes the part when he makes an appoin...

There's a place called Shaving Grace, in Exton, though I don't know if they sell goods. They do shave!

Also, try Bluemercury in Center City. High-end cosmetics place that, last I was there, carried some men's stuff.

Dateline, what a train wreck that was.

I started my whole trip by switching from canned good to Kiehl's goop, and then on to other flavors of goop. Then I bought a cheap Baxter brush. Right there, my shaves improved threefold. And I did that a long time before finally coming to the DE. So, I'd urge you to get a brush, even a cheapo badge...

Yeah, I guess it's not like terrorists bother with trains. Well, except for Tokyo. And Madrid. And London. And

nevermind.

I've got 2 PAL adjustables, and they arre both pretty vicious on my face. But, as the Good Doctor said, it's pretty much a crapshoot when it comes to Injector razors. Got a bunch of them too, from the 20s till the last bunch they made, and every one of them shaves differently.

It's only a collectible if it's Better! Than! New!

I can hear it. 38 years old, longtime abuser of headphone voulme knobs. Surprised myself.

"Should I worry about keeping the Gillette Blue Blades with it?" The only worry would be if you actually put one of those blades into a razor and used it. You'd mutilate your face (he wrote, having learned through painful experience). Some old blades are still usuable. Not the Blue Blades,...
