I made an appointment for my brother, my father, and myself at the New York Shave Company later this week. I am in midtown and looking f...

Well I'm not familiar with any English pipe makers off the top of my head but I am sure there are plenty out there. When choosing a pipe there are a lot of things to consider. First what do you want it made of? Personally I prefer woos or clay. Stay away from Meerschaum for a first pipe. I've never ...

try Woodwick candles. They are available online and I find them at Bed Bath and Beyond stores. They come in many different scents including some earthy scents such as applewood and redwood. Although fireside is my personal favorite. The scent is noticable but not overpowering. They also use a piece ...

Happy Birthday. Glad you enjoyed Cleveland. I just got back from there a couple weeks ago for a wedding and had a mixed experience.

It fulfills the tech s...

Be careful with a lot of these protection services, they are a little shady and not too eager to hand out their money. I have no experience with Lifelock but heard good things. Most major banks and credit cards include identity theft protection for existing cards. I personally put flags on my credit...

Took it for a spin today and am very impressed. It took a little bit of getting used to but gave me a very smooth shave with a Derby DE, no nicks, bumps, or irritation. I can definitely see why so many of you like it. Yes, it is a nickel razor with no imperfections that I can find and no date code t...

The chrome is in very good condition with very minor signs of wear on corners and along edges. I am not familiar with looking for date codes and have no idea where or what...

Was roaming through one of those little antique malls with my cousin who was looking for some china and came across several razors in a little display case. One of them was a polished Gillette Tech that looked like it had been used maybe once with its cardboard box in very nice condition as well. I ...

yep I got me a few little things.

I too rarely use a preshave oil. I used T&H preshave oil when I first started shaving just to kinda help increase the margin of error while I worked on my technique and still use it on occasion when I've missed a shave or two and my face has gotten thick or just when I have extra time. While it ...

I am a huge beer nut and a home brewer. $35 is more than I would ever pay. As of right now $7 a bottle for the occasional Dogfish 120 minute is about my max.
