I was just thinking of you recently and wondered how you are doing. It's good to hear from you! Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I slit an opening near the top of a used water bottle....When that gets filled up I will just toss in the recycling. Should hold a ton of blades!

Thanks.

Gents, Just celebrated another birthday, and as I am closing in on the half-century mark, I have recently found that my beard growth has slowed on one side of my face, while still heavy under the chin as usual. Does anyone else experience this as well? As I love my wet shaves, afraid they are dimini...

I have been doing two-pass shaves for the most part recently, and find I get good results with minimum irritation. Been doing WTG pass and XTG on the cheeks and above the lip. Below the chin is ATG where the beard seems heaviest....

Gentlemen,

Aside from Kiss My Face and Bigelow, are there any other creams readily available in Brick and Mortar Stores today?

I really should get back to my guitars....haven't played them in a while.

P.S. Wendell, do you use bronze strings on your acoustic? I've found that they are much warmer in tone.

A very Merry and blessed Christmas to everyone here!

Just stopped at a local CVS and picked me up some of the Aqua Velva Musk AfterShave/Cologne. Very nice scent, and it smells even better on the face than out of the bottle.

Any other Musk uers out there? and what do you think....

it looks great, Marc!

Hey Marc,

Nice job. I'm not the most handy person in the world (but my wife is )

Looking for recommendations on an A/S balm that is good for an oily complexion and is locally available...Is there a Bigelow AS balm available for example that would be a good recommendation?
