Gene, I would love to more about item 1.

I heard two things on the radio today about Mr. Douglas:

1) He was instrumental in helping break up Hollywood's "Blacklist" era
2) Survived by his wife of 65 years!

Rest easy Mr. Douglas.

Sam - I tried Kirks a few years ago, and liked it. In a thread way back then someone on our forum said that the amount of coconut in the soap made it too drying, and didn't recommend it for face use. I also bought Mitchell's and used it in the shower. I really liked it. In the shower it won't last a...

After my annual year-end read of Rosamunde Pilcher's Winter Soltice, I determined to read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings again. We have limited hard-copy versions of both and they are a joy to hold in your hands to read together with beautiful artwork and original line drawings by JRRT. The H...

When I got back into wet shaving, and really started paying attention to the water at hotels, I came to the conclusion that most hotels had hard water ... some more than others. I was always more prone to irritation and weepers when on the road than at home.

This is odd, or it's too early in the morning, but...

I followed the link you included - see 12 sticks for $14. One of the images is the ingredient list, which clearly shows Stearic Acid as the number 2 ingredient.

Reformulations make me sad.

Clive, mine has to be the General V2 razor from Colonial.

I have to agree with this, although mine is the black aluminum model. I just love it!

Running low on Feather blades - am thinking about trying the Schick version to see how it fares. The Kai's were not so good for me.

Popular here in Austin, too. I never found any heat in one I ate, though. But I like them.

I get them at my local grocery store - dirt cheap and like $1.50 for 3 bars. Down on the bottom shelf - got to look for them, though.

Vinolia - like they had on the Titanic? I remember that Gordon loved that soap, but thought it had passed into retirement, or reformulation, a while back? I found Palmolive soap at our local grocery store. Wondering if it might have the same scent as their shave stick (it doesn't) I bought some --- ...

Yes, the General is a great shaver.

They have been discussed here before - I have the black aluminum version - and I love it.

I have had an American version of bangers and mash - that's pretty goo.

Heard about bubbles and squeak - don't know that that is, though.

I am sure most are good.

Not sure about the pudding, but the rest sounds delicious.

The Brits - funny food over there:

Black pudding
Spotted dick
Dover sole (Yes, I know it's a fish - but every novel I think I have ever read about England includes at least one reference to them.)

???

I have a friend out in California - a Brit by birth - who tells me that every time he goes to England the very first thing he does on landing is head to a local place for a "proper English breakfast". Beans and a better bacon are involved, but I don't remember more than that. For me - that's a toss-...

Witch Hazel - I was going to start a thread about this myself. Many long-time posters here at SMF will remember the threads about witch hazel - some of the newer folks might not. At one time we discussed it quite a bit. I was shopping at our local grocery store last month - and they had a large end ...

Dr, Moss - You have a PM

But health issues mean that I only have 8-10 more years of wet shaving, so I need to decrease my stock somewhat. A sad message embedded there - sorry to read this. I hate that our members are going through anything.I think I bought a few LB's from you a year or so ago - they are nice blades, no dou...

Welcome back, Greg! Missed your charm and wit!

There are some great names in that thread, Gary - thanks for sharing it.

My few dealings with Connaught have gone perfectly.
