Take ample time to lather your face well, then take some more time, then a bit more.
Honorable mention tip: Don't split a bottle of wine with your wife, then try to shave her legs. Bad, very bad idea.

Ah ha, not all! I went to my barber Bob, today, who - along with his colleague Arlo, have been cutting hair for 50+ years, each. Save the smell of old cigarettes and lucky tiger, these guys have changed little since 1960, and they both have a waiting list of appointments everyday. When, a couple of ...

The thing I really liked about EB was that he was an excellent character actor. He wasn't a pretty boy. He wasn't all polished, and primped. He looked like a guy you'd work with, talk to at a tavern or flip-off on the freeway. He was such a common, easy going guy that I think people tended to undere...

Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge Cologne
All right chaps, I need any available thoughts on Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge EDC. I've been wanting some for awhile, but after my wife soundly rejected my much beloved GFT Achoo Violets (what I call Ajaccio Violets), I'm hesitant to buy without vetting the matter thoroughly.

Ah, hair tonic! Next to shaving tackle, these are my favourite. For common, work-a-day, wear, I use a dab o' Brylcreem. (A little dab, as that is enough to do ya.) Good hold, a bit of sheen, cheap. Despite all the God-given gifts I lack (talent, looks, intelligence, money, appeal to human-kind in ge...

Thought I'd offer a quick "What-ho!"
Greetings and happy shaves to you all gentlemen! I've been away from the forum for some years (I think I last posted around 2009). Those few who might remember me may recall I purposely disconnected from the Internet at home and it's been rather blissful. However, as my numerous children have aged, ...

This amuses me. I am a manager with 18 direct reports, and at any given time I can have no more than three people off. I don't mind terribly the folks who request time off 11.5 months in advance, it's the people who pout when I deny their request and there are three people off already, whose names h...

Scott- At last I've found a soulmate. Someone who appreciates how truly awful is the smell of Taylor's Avocado. The tragedy of it is that the stuff shaves so well. If I could disable my olfactory sense for half an hour, I'd use it every day. A great creme indeed, and I shaved with it for a couple o...

I've had experiences in both directions: In the first instance, I got to where I could no longer use TOBS Avocado creme: the smell would remind me of carving pumpkins at Halloween! I have six kids, and each gets their own pumpkin. Because of the risk of the children using knives, I end up gutting an...

I have a 40s Super Speed that I would dearly love to use every day (rather than my Merkur Barberpole or HD) as I love its design and I am an old school kind of guy. They're beautiful razors. However, it simply is not aggressive enough a shaver for me. It never has given me a BBS shave, whatever blad...

CADFAEL, A few folks on EBAY restore the phones with modern plug in jacks. Yes, they work very well. The one problem that can happen is if your phone system no longer acceptes pulse dialing, only DTMF tones. Not insurmountable, you can buy a rather clever adapter (as well as old phones) here ... -S...
