Kiss My Face makes an unscented cream that comes in a pump or in a tube. Great stuff and reasonably priced. Used some this morning.

I felt the same way when I met former President Ford in college. Scared shitless. I'd love to meet Clinton.

I use the Shave My Face Mint most of the time. The Kiss My Face stuff gets the most use in my rotation.

Can't go wrong with Chicago deep dish pizza. One of the joys of living in the Chicago area is the vast amount of great places to eat. While Gino's East is very good I prefer Giordano's. The best thin crust in the Chicago area is in Waukegan at The Quonset. I once drove a total of two hours (one hour...

I remember getting into Syd during college. Such wonderful stuff yet you could hear on record how he was falling apart. Now that I'm much older I hear more of the pain in his music. So much so that I almost can't listen to a whole album.

Picked up some Cool Mint and Apricot the other day from GNC. I have to say that I really like it. Nice sensation on the skin and it seems to give a slightly better shave than Williams soap with a few drops of shave oil. My wife tried the Apricot and gave it her approval as well. BBS shaves with no i...

As someone who ships saxophone mouthpieces all over the world I can tell you that shipping overseas can be a bit of a pain. It takes a special trip to the post office, a claims form (one of two options depending upon the weight of the package), and time in line. You never know quite what the shippin...

Memphis seems to be the best I've tasted. I don't care for the coleslaw on the pulled pork (actually don't eat pork anymore). These days I prefer a good pulled chicken BBQ sandwich.

I love great BBQ sauces and prefer them with my fries. Living in Chicago gives me access to some great places.

My wife is the understanding sort and is used to my retro ways. My recent conversion to a DE was preceded by a long term affair with a couple of brushes. First I gave up using my hand to apply shaving gel. Then I gave up the gel and moved to shaving soap. I've finally moved on to a DE. Can't say tha...
