when I changed residences I found the same prior lathering up a bowl of soap it would just explode into lather now it is much more work so a lot of times I opt for cream as it is quicker and easier in most cases, what works for me with soaps however is a face lathering with a Rooney 1/1 heritage bru...

For me I found proper prep of the beard including hot towels and or showeri...

A Wilkinson Sword I had one where the center hole wasn't cut straight and of course I didn't notice it when I put it in the razor and it cut the heck out of me as it stuck out uneven more so on one side then the other. It took me a while to figure it out though but a couple things helped it was a br...

I am a big guy and I like my Tempurpedic, I got the celebrity bed about 5 years ago and it it still is about as good as new. They do have softer and firmer models depending on what you prefer, mine is firm with a pillow top. They don't require any flipping of the mattress either which was always a p...

If I had to choose given your preference in a razor I would choose one of the sets from Art of Shaving, as the razors from the AOS sets while maybe not as flashy as those pictured above look to be more ergonomic and I especially like the horn or imitation horn handles also, I have an AOS brush which...

yes I switch razors at every shave trying to go through my entire rotation and then starting over, of course that gets interrupted with new purchases and or if I get a bad shave for whatever reason and have to touch one up or take it to the hones (like yesterdays brand new TI) then I will shave with...

So far I got at least 5 new c135's and at least that many of the older models :oops: , the new TI's do seem harder and shave to me more stiffer much less flex unlike some of the older TI's which I hope that makes sense as best way I could describe it but anyhow I am actually preferring them over the...

I got that soap as well as 7 others of hers, some scents to me are stronger when mixed up and applied as lather then others, most all fade to me after being applied and I haven't found any soap or cream yet that last after being rinsed off despite what some of them may claim. A lot effects smell inc...

I tried Gevalia a couple years ago, if you like variety and even flavored coffee they are pretty good tasting but yes are overpriced. Also I like a strong cup and none of Gevalia's seemed to work in that regard. I currently order from Peet's they occasionally have free shipping and if you join there...
