I believe your 'sweet gravy' is known in the UK as 'instant custard'. All I ever knew for custard when young, it came from the Birds Co in a tub and required mixing with milk and careful slow warming. I was fascinated with it as the cornflour in it made it non-Newtonian as you stirred; runny if pour...

I have all sorts of Somerset Simpsons and other brushes I once found delightful. These days, though, an Omega boar is just what I look forward to with each shave. Silly, really, but there you are.

I'll be very interested to hear what you make of it. Oud(h) is strong stuff, and not very distant from the distinctive animalic scent that Creed feels belongs in everything. It might be better than ever, or just more Creed-ish than ever.

I'm generally not impressed with oils used alone for shaving. I admit, that if you soften your beard with a detergent or soap and lots of hot water, you can then shave with some oil. It might even make a minimal volume solution for those travelling very light and staying in hotels where a bottle of ...

Ive been lucky enough to snag a vintage bottle of this stuff, a 100ml splash bottle with two royal appointments and not the one with only one (an earlier version I think). I do not have the most advanced nose but I thought it smelled rather similar to TOBS 74 Original, which maybe isn't that weird ...

A smoked salmon, onion and potato pie. Sadly, my attempt at a fish is more like a whale!

Curiously, I have this week been playing with the very first pair of razors I bought - Dovo faux-damascus stainless steel 5/8 with Micarta scales. I knew no better, and soon discovered they had relatively heavy scales so they were a bit awkward for a beginner, and the stainless blades were well bey...

I did get an e-mail from Tim offering a damascus blade instead of the tool steel I had requested. Thing is, I have eight Zowada damascus blades and there's little point in adding a ninth. So I stuck to my guns and replied that the tool steel (O1) is what I want, and repeated the offer of an 'out' in...

Scary to see him shaving without stretching his old, lax skin. Maybe he needed the handheld magnifying mirror as he could no longer see well enough to manage with a flat hanging mirror. I have more and more sympathy with shaving to look 'clean' and not trying for a BBS. Your skin generally looks hea...

Ah, good old Portra 160 VC. The newer stuff's not bad, though. What? There was a brush in there somewhere?

A big brush? How about this one on the left:



That's a Vulfix window display brush (the other two are Shavemacs for those who like long handles. The one in the middle has an XXL knot for size reference).

Thanks. What is in these marvelous pills?

Nothing at all - placebos can be used to treat wives as well as shavers!

....and only enough soaps and creams to last me for the final 10 years or so of wet shaving that my wife will allow me. Wife or life? If the former, what will she do to you or your razors one day ten years hence? :shock: Ah, well, she's the boss regarding some subjects, including my health. I have ...

Anytime you get some ringing (tinnitus) after noise exposure, you have lost some hearing. Having only half my right ear working, and total deafness on the left, I have to be paranoid about preserving what's left. So ear muffs when mowing or using power tools, and either noise-cancelling headphones o...

Early leaf spring suspension for times when you take your razor off-road.

According to our rules it will have to be a sale and not a trade until you have 25 posts.
Good luck in your search - I do like my brass General.

This one's a great tradition in the north-east of England: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/panackelty-my-grandmas-baked-corned-beef-and-potatoes-423393 And it's delicious. And from the borderlands my mother brought down a recipe for corned beef, onion and mashed potato pie, which is OK hot, but...

Whilst we mix and match heads and handles, I have been using a bulbous Jagger handle on my brass General. It is lighter overall, and alters the balance so the weight is in the head rather than the handle. Brass General head with blade 58g Brass General handle 72g Jagger handle 57g http://drmoss.ca/W...
