Sure will. He gives them at his shop. He seems pretty good with a straight, and uses one himself. But he had no idea about this huge shaving community we all enjoy.

Well a new barber shop opened up in my humble little town, and because I'm tired of my local buzz cut factory, I stopped in. I had met the barber a time or two before at a cigar shop I frequent where he told me of his impending opening. While he was giving me a cut (which was a damn fine haircut com...

Nothing will ever smells as fragrant to me as original Skin Bracer.

I was using some Tom's the other day and as I was shaving, my mind kept going to how wonderful it smelled. I kept lathering my face, working it in, and suddenly though, "Hey, if it smells this good, I wonder how it tastes..."

Don't ever taste your Tom's... Just trust me on that one.

I love the smell of my Proraso.

Sometimes, late at night, when I pass by the bathroom on the way to kitchen for a glass of water, I stop in an take a big whiff of the beautiful green fairy.

About all I can do is reiterate what has already been said. Gio's a great guy, and a pleasure to do business with. If you haven't ordered from him yet, you should.

Yep, and I couldn't have done it without you guys.

It seems about every month or so I learn something new, and I my level of shaving experience jumps tremendously. First it was that my technique was all wrong. Then I conquered the angle. Then I figured out my lather was too dry. I thought I had gotten it, and that the little bit of razor burn on my ...

I tried this wine and enjoyed it. I tasted subtle hints of leather and steel on the palate. To the nose I detected hints of Mitchell's Wool Fat, and Valobra shave stick with a baby butt smooth finish. I've noticed that it was subtle, yet aggressive. You could kind of adjust the aggressiveness up at...

Hey, you can never go wrong with a $20 factory seconds basket pipe. I have a few of those. In fact, I've only got one "nice" pipe. Just make sure and inspect it first. I've picked up a few that shouldn't have been even sold. But I'm more of a cigar guy anyway. I just dabble in pipery. This...

Get your tobacco at a real tobacconist, though; I wouldn't trust the drugstore inventory for freshness. Go ahead and get some sweet aromatic blends if you're interested; there are a lot of great boozy, fruity, caramel-ly mixes that are beginner friendly. Real men start out with Dunhill Royal Yacht....

whoa. I remember dettol from when I was kid.. At least (per your writing) it doesnt smell like antiseptic... if you know what dettol is :) I just dont think I could go near it as a shave cream... I find it interesting that you bring that up. I often get take out from a small "Middle Eastern&qu...

Yep, and a 4711 bottle all the way on the left.

I had it smuggled in from Siam in the belly of a meat bearing alpaca.

I haven't taken a math class in three years. But, when I did, and back in high school, the standard was a Ti-83 Plus. They might have better ones now, but I don't know. I've still got mine. It's so easy to use. Although, now all I do with it is balance the old checkbook. Shoot your professor an e-ma...

It's true. Ladies love Afta. Old Spice too. And Aqua Velva. As long as you don't tell them what it is. Then they think you're a stinky old man. But if they just smell it, they usually like it.

ah yes, cool spice, thats it. sorry :wink: people have been finding it in stores lately, so ive been keeping my eye out. jim, thanks for the pointers. as for the RC, what kind of scent would you classify it as? (woodsy, spicy, etc.) Is that so? I may have to see if I can locate some. I honestly tho...

It seems like it would be more economical, doesn't it?

david, a couple of those i want to try, but from what i hear, some of those have a powdery dry down to them, which i despise. btw, aside from skin bracer, im also looking for skin bracer cool musk. Cool Musk? Are you thinking of Cool Spice? I'm not familiar with a Skin Bracer Musk. If it is Cool Sp...

They were a gift, but it tasted great, so it wouldnt surprise me if they were of a good quality. only 9 more to get through.... :lol: Oh no, I wasn't being sarcastic. I was being quite serious. Cohiba is an amazing cigar, and I believe those are probably the real Habanos (Cubans) that we can't &quo...
