Re: Stephan Alpine Menthol

Basil, Thankyou. That is remarkable. Of late I was thinking of getting some mennen skin bracer again. I always enjoyed it and also Aqua Velva.

Re: Stephan Alpine Menthol

Basil, Thankyou for the reply. I have Osage Rub. It's almost pure menthol which is great in the summer months. Alpine menthol had some fragrance mixed in with the menthol.

Stephan Alpine Menthol

Hello All. I know Stephan's has discontinued this. But I'm wondering if anyone has discovered an aftershave from a different manufacturer that is similar? I checked Williamsport barber supply online and they have a Gabel's product called "Sta-Cool Menthol" and they also have a Master "...

Re: Schick vs. Personna injector blades?

Tucker, Thankyou for your reply. I searched online for the Supply Provision razor. I like that you can select mild to aggressive with the adjustment plates. Also the ability to manually load blades as you mentioned. Since that is possible I'm wondering if there are other se blades better than Schick...

Schick vs. Personna injector blades?

I recently bought a package of the new Schicks. The blade gave a satisfactory shave although I had quite a difficult time with the loader. Just wondering how the Personna blades compare shave-wise and any similar loading issues?. Thanks!

Re: advice on soaps at my local Brick and Mortar shop

Thankyou Gentlemen for your replies. I'm going to go over to AG's and sniff the Harris Windsor. If I don't like it I'll get a couple of tubs of T&H cream.

Re: advice on soaps at my local Brick and Mortar shop

Clive, So in your opinion the current T&H soap is a good performer? Does that apply to their "cologne" scent soaps? I have used all the top brand soaps over the years with good luck. My problem is I moved 3 plus years ago and began using up my inventory( storage space issues). I haven'...

Re: advice on soaps at my local Brick and Mortar shop

Gary, How can I tell the dates? The Trumper's I have in reserve have no dates on the boxes. So I will avoid T&H. Any of the Harris are okay?

advice on soaps at my local Brick and Mortar shop

I have a gift card for Aidan Gill here in New Orleans. In the past I have had very nice results with Trumper's soap. I'm not currently aware of any reformulations on any of the upper tier soaps. The brands he stocks are: Trumper's, T&H, Taylor's and D.R. Harris. Is there anything I need to watch...

Back to my injector

I've decided to start shaving with my Schick injector again. I currently have "Barber" (rebranded personna's from Williamsport barber supply) and Chinese Schicks. I'm planning on going back and forth with each in order to determine which are the better blades for me. I'm wondering if the T...

FT Old Spice (Shulton) After Shave Talc

It's a white glass bottle so it seems to be impossible to judge how much is in there. I can tell you I've used it only a few times in the many years I've had it. I'd like to trade for after shave splash. http://s1.postimage.org/bxthhu5cr/E2_012.jpg http://s1.postimage.org/f77woatgb/E2_013.jpg

There is a picture of a brush on the box. Honestly I'm not sure I could offer a review as I'm a soap only guy now.
