Quite right, I bought my Super Chubby 3 and major from Trumpers, they also offer Persian Jar silvertips but come to think of it I never noticed a Polo.

Their Classic cologne is excellent. Its my favorit amongst all traditional colognes. Not overpowering but good staying power, a lot more than Trumpers.

Thanks gentlemen, The important thing is that you like the razor & recommend it , so I went ahead and ordered one from Classics. I'm not worried about it being shave ready , I've been honing and stropping for almost twenty years. With time I've developed a preference for heavier SS blades so I t...

I'm thinking of ordering one of those from Classic before they run out.
Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of them.
I'll appreciate any comments.

The one shave scene I envy is Dan Aykroyd being shaved by his butler
Denholm Elliott in his home barber chair in Trading Places 1983.

I always shave after a shower so I never felt the need for any pre shave oils. Recently I tried Proraso pre post on a two day beard growth and was quite impressed with the result , so now I use it every day and am looking for other prep creams to try out. My naive question is : do prep oils and crea...

Gordon We've waited several years so we can tolerate a few more weeks. Just learnt that the new director of Rooney's is Mr Lee Sabini and that their new facility is "up the road from the old one" and that they have retained "most of the original work force ". So this should put o...

That is a relief.
I guess now we can find out where these brushes are made and by whom.
Kal

Gordon With all due respect to Classic Shaving what solid information do we have about the producers of the "new Rooney brush". -What relation do they have to the original company and products if any. -Where is the new prduction facility because we know for sure the old one closed sometime...

Gordon, hav'nt tried Alden in a long time but I find the styling and quality of many of their models identical to AE. Also bear in mind that AE used to have some of their slip ons made in Italy and these were of inferior quality. By the way, if my memory serves me I recall that Peale shoes were manu...

GFT hands down

I'm reviving this thread because on my recent trip to Orlando I picked a couple of Allen Edmunds shoes , a black box calfOxford and a cordovan full brogue. It has been a long while since I last wore an AE and I must say I'm impressed by the quality of manufacturing and finish. Equal if not better th...

A good mineral water should contain between 200-320 ppm tds(parts per million of total disolved solids). These solids are mainly calcium and sodium salts (carbonates and nitrates) plus other minerals in smaller quantities such as magnesium and phosphoros and sometimes florides. All these minerals in...

Every time I visit the States I look for a Johnny Rockets outlet. Their hamburgers are fresh made their chilly is awsome and I love their 50s diner style decor.

I tried the Roger et Gallet and it is my favorite vetyver. Not overpowering but has a subtle staying power , the way I think men's colognes should be.

Would you be thinking of Babbalou's? they have an outlet near UCF

I guess I'll have to make do with whats available. Compared to what you get outside the US that would be gourmet BBQ.
Kal

I'm taking the family to Orlando in a couple of weeks. I keep dreaming of BBQ'd ribs and southern fried chicken. Where can I get the real stuff? not those mass production tourist traps.
Kal

In my book Macallan 18 is the undisputed king of all whiskeys, alas I keep it for special occasions that I celebrate alone!!! My second favorit is Suntory( when I can find it). I like highland malts with slight oaky flavour so I'm partial to Balvenie 15 and the more affordable Longmorn. However my e...
