Re: 5 Best-Value Ryes
There are home distilling websites though and many people seen to believe they can fly under the radar. And several years later those websites and discussion forums are served subpoenas and are forced to reveal names and contact info of all members/contributors. Said members get letters from the FB...

Re: 5 Best-Value Ryes
On the topic of micro-distillers, if a friend were to find some old distillation equipment in the basement of his grandmother in law's house would you recommend he: A: take that copper to the scrapyard B: call the cops, advise the homeowner is decreased, and ask how they wish to have the equipment d...

Re: DVD copying
Been using handbrake if I felt the need to make a backup of a DVD I own. Works quite well on PC.

Re: 5 Best-Value Ryes
Great rundown Squire. Knowing the master producers of American whiskeys can really help to find some good stuff for reasonable prices. When you accept that almost all of the whiskey is made by five distillers(with the exception of local distillers that only sell locally) you can then trace what has ...

Re: Fine Accoutrements Aftershave
Liked the two I bought enough to buy two more and give a third as a gift. A friend, that I recently introduced to the DE and a badger brush, received a bottle of American Blend a few days before his wedding. Myself I picked up a bottle of American Blend and Fresh Vetiver. I am a huge fan of the ment...

Re: Fine Accoutrements Aftershave
I am quite happy with the bottles of L'Orange Noir and Platinum I purchased. The wife is as well. I found the L'Orange to have quite a lot of staying power, close to cologne strength, still catching sandalwood notes all day. My sniffer isn't quite educated enough to describe the top notes, but I wil...

Sometimes you remember what just works for you
I gove my razors a month or so of use at a time, using one type of blade for one or two weeks and switching through my stash. Three weeks of less than stellar shaves with different blades in my 34c and I was annoyed. Out comes an old reliable combination Astra Blade(green) and Gillette TTO razor, in...

Re: Coates Rose cream
Used the Almond again today. This stuff is just fantastic . . . though I have to say the Real Shave Co creams are not too far behind in spite of the lack of parabens. I actually gifted one of my tubes of Rose to a friend along with a very old Tech and he has officially come over to the dark(and by d...

Re: since it was so gently requested
It is an antique dealer, so that may just have been what was popular in a certain geographical area. There are actually MORE razors there, I just didn't have the time or patience to take more pics. The Red Imp razor frustrated me with the broken blade just because it looked cool and I would have wan...

Re: TOBS is announcing new shaving cream!
If only they could announce a "new" shaving cream where they would put the parabens back in and go to their formula from the early part of the century.
