First real shave in over a year. Not the best ever, but not bad.

I'm curious as to what it was myself.

It really is quite amazing. Holding a mirror up to society has never been so fruitful.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm keeping my head up though. Keeping busy as much I can.

Recently graduated with a BA in English. I was rejected from all the graduate schools I applied to. I've had one interview in April for a teaching position and didn't get it because the current teacher resigned her contract. I took my civil service exam to work at the public library in March. I scor...

Wow. I had no idea that so many things went under.

Then again, I hadn't even heard of half of those things on that list. That said, it's a damn shame we're losing so much.

Gotta love those wholesale stores. On a secondary note, does bay rum actually make one feel less disgusting in hot and humid weather? I have yet to find anything other than talcum powder to achieve this, and I hear that gives you cancer (especially the ladies). I live in South Louisiana, and it's ho...

I too have been looking into the world of Fountain Pens. I've always been a stationary geek. I love notebooks and things like that. I guess it's because I'm a writer. I have a drawer full of blank notebooks I bought because they spoke to me. It's only lately that I've gotten into the pens too. My gr...

Yeah. I have it. It was a gift, so I feel obligated to keep it around, but I've used it twice with no good results.

When ever I use a splash after shave, I always toss some Nivea Sensitive on top of it. I just helps. It moisturizes the face in a way that splashes just don't.

Personally, I think it's neat as hell.

As suggested above: Old Spice (a personal favorite) Skin Bracer (Original and Blue), Pinaud Clubman.

Also, I love me some Brut. Aqua Velva Musk is nice. English Leather. And even though it's not a splash, give Afta a try.

Yeah, I didn't like them much either. I want to get my hands on some metals though and give those a try.

I wish I could find a Trac II handle. I've been looking for ages. I guess it's just one of those things I'll never see again.

I was walking around a little grocery store in a town called Rayne this afternoon with my fiancee. Every time we go somewhere that has shaving stuff, I have to look. So, I do what I always do and head to the shaving supplies. And what do you know? Old Spice in the old packaging. A nice glass bottle....

Where can you get it...

Gio has closed shop so I can't get any Rosa Soap or Sputniks from him, may as well give this a go...

Woah woah woah. Hold up the phone. Gio closed shop? When did this happen?

Saw it last night. My fiancee is the huge trekkie in this relationship. Said she never missed an opening night of a Star Trek movie in her life. We decided to go see it after dinner. Had to go to two restaurants. The first one was a debacle. It was a new place, one we had never gone to before. Let's...

I too am currently shopping around for a tuxedo for my own wedding. I hate the idea of getting married in clothes that are not mine. Personally, I say go with the bow tie. That's what I'm going to be wearing. Fashionable or not, I like the looks of them. They are classy and classic just as you've sa...

Indeed. Indeed.
