questions about trumper crown stopper bottles
My current aftershave comes in a cheap plastic bottle, and I've been wanting to decant it into something more classy-looking, for the counter. I like the looks of the Trumper 'crown stopper' style bottles. But is the top able to removed, allowing refilling? And will it leak if inverted upside down, ...

I wonder when aftershave balms first appeared?
It seems like all 'old-school' aftershaves were alcohol-based (Skin Food being the exception, I think). Does anyone know when the first moisturizing aftershave balms started appearing?

You want the Ulster Fry - bacon and soda-bread and potatoe-bread fried in fat with eggs, mushrooms, blackpudding, sausages fried in bacon fat washed down with big cup of tea. A full cardiac work-out on a plate. That'll definitely get me through the day... http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/th...

twining's green tea- thumbs down
Having enjoyed jasmine-flavored tea before, I noticed Twining's Jasmine Green Tea on the grocery shelf. "Ooh, a royal warrant, it must be good" . After drinking through half the box, I'm thoroughly dissapointed. Not only do I not detect a single hint of jasmine flavor or aroma, it gives me...

A friend of mine is a pharmacist, and she told me the hangover cure of choice for her hard drinking Russian pharmacist co-workers - a drop of ammonia in a glass of water, chugged down. She told me she tried it once and it worked like a charm. Interesting about the ammonia. I read somewhere that D.R...

I usually just take a couple of apsirins, and swallow them down with a single gulp of water. I've found that drinking more water with the pills makes it slower for the painkillers to digest. I know they say that lots of liquids are good, but my stomach usually can't hold down lots of liquid when wak...

Re: Schick Blades
Four single pass BBS shaves with a vintage Schick from the 80s I suppose...yellow package silver and black dispenser...saw of pick of the package somewhere on this board. Shouldn't be playing with these old things though since I have so many others to try from Giovanni's small sampler. BBS shaves w...

Final verdict of the Injector?
I've been interested in the Injector razors as of late, but can't be quite sure what to make of them. The new Schick blades seem to be commonly considered as sub-par. At this stage in my wetshaving life, I have no use for anything that's sub-par. And then there's the Injector/Feather combination. Sh...

But he always knew that the big bucks were in proprietary products, and that there was a large market out there of status driven guys with money, who had no knowledge of shaving nor awareness of the top shelf traditional products, and that such products had never really been 'marketed' in the US. &...

My shaves are best every other day
I don't know why, but when I wait 2-3 days in between shaves, the stubble just melts off like hot butter when I finally shave. Just a single with-the-grain pass is needed, and my skin is left glowing. It's almost uncanny. Does anyone else experience this? I suspect it's because longer hairs are soft...
