Sorry about reading your post so late . . . Those are the only two vendors I know of, H&L and Malouf's, that handle high end shaving gear here. (I live here . . . for now) Both AOS. A new and high end steakhouse that has been getting some good reviews is the Double Nickel Steakhouse, about 55th ...

I've got T-Mobile. No complaints there but, I have read some reviews on the 'net where people say the volume is not quite up to snuff.

Cell phone upgrade

I am considering upgrading my cell phone to a Motorola RAZR. Can anybody give me a "review" of their experience with one?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

I wound up hanging on to mine. I had some people take a whiff and they ALL said, "WOW, that smells great."

So, that being said, I used it. Not only does it smell great, it is some of the best lathering stuff I've tried. It's a keeper for me.

I would definitely check out the Gillette Tech razor.

Rob, My experience has been up and down with Feathers. On Monday mornings when I haven't shaved over the weekend, they are greatness. When I first started trying them, I had been so used to cartridges that I REALLY had to learn to slow down, and that is STILL A HUGE problem for me. I was using them ...

There's a sartorial website called Ask Andy About Clothes , where they are at least as obsessive about clothing as we are about shaving. There's another site that might be worth a look to you as well. Style Forum.net I found ShaveMyFace.com through Ask Andy. I think some other SMF'ers are on there ...

Well, it's good to know that I'm not the only one in this boat. I feel better now. I think for a newbie, it is VERY easy to get caught up in reading about great creams, soaps, blades, razors, yada, yada, yada, and think, "Boy, nirvana is right around the corner . . ." and you really don't ...

Is it possible?

For me, and I assume for most, the sides of the face and cheeks are no-brainers in terms of getting it BBS with minimal effort, AS COMPARED TO THE NECK! I've tried and tried. Different blade, razor, soap, and cream combos but, it never is the same. Is it reasonable to expect the same smoothness on y...

I too have to go with the camel hair jacket; especially this time of year. It's a hard to beat combination. Get creative with the shirts and ties. The thing about a camel hair jacket is that it works with black pants and brown pants, too. I went to a Christmas party at a rather upscale country club ...
