SOLD.

Thanks, SMF.

Regards,

Is it wrong that when I saw this thread title, I thought...oh, just never mind what I thought.

Regards,

Agreed that Gio's service is top-notch. I have had nothing but positive dealings with him all the way round. For sheer variety and uniqueness of product line, there's certainly no topping Gio, and I appreciate the way he does business. And, picking up the phone adds a personal touch to the ordering ...

I think you've mentioned A*Men before, Michael, and I guess I need to check into it. But yes, I've now found the good department store colognes, hidden in dark and dusty corners where none but the brave older gentlemen or escapees from dressing room purgatory venture. I'm taken with Monsieur de Give...

SOLD is the large 400mL bottle of Italian Floid. This is the regular Italian version, not the blue. Nicely mentholated; classic barbershop scent. I have decanted just under 50mL for myself, leaving you 350mL or so. Retails for $36 new from Superlather (no one else has it right now). 1/8 of the bottl...

BUMP: Still available.

Regards,

BUMP: Price reduced on Tryphon.

Old Spice is gone.

Regards,

Yes, he is on vacation. The only place you can find that out is on his forum, and it was posted a while ago. I thought he would put something on the storefront... I do like doing business with Gio, and I appreciate his pricing, but his is probably the most difficult place to order from among the wet...

Agreed on Straight Bourbon. Also http://forums.jpfitness.com was a favorite when I didn't have perpetual hip pain. Good group, small enough to be personable but with a variety of fitness interests represented. I haven't been in a few months: need to get back to it. The brewing forums at Northern Bre...

I have a couple of items up for sale, gentlemen. SOLD 6.37 oz. (188 mL) bottle Old Spice Aftershave - old packaging - $11 shipped (Note: this is Proctor & Gamble Old Spice in the recently discontinued heavy bottle) 1 Tryphon lime cream, used at most 7-8x - $7 shipped The Tryphon sells for $10 ne...

Traded: a NIB (NIT? - New in Tin?) Pre de Provence soap - 150g up for trade. It's very good, but the other puck I have will take a year or more to finish up, so I'd like to trade for an unused puck of the following (in order of preference): Trumper Lime soap Harris Lavender soap Trumper Rose soap Ta...

One week to go. Today was superb, close and comfortable with 2 passes everywhere but the right jawline and neck, which got a third pass. The experience was not quite so superb as yesterday, but darn close, and so far removed from the hit-or-miss, what-will-today-bring crapshoot of a month or two ago...

I'm not necessarily looking to narrow it down to a few everyone should have, but rather to expand the discussion. For instance, Rive Gauche PH has one thread here at SMF, and it was a while ago. Yet over at BN and other places, it is mentioned as barbershop-ish. I'm intrigued, but I'd love to have m...

Sam's post that mentioned Oscar Pour Lui and my own recent explorations of various scents brought this thread idea to mind. We talk a lot about the traditional English firms here, but very little about other fragrances (or even about some of the lesser-known English frags). Now, to me it makes some ...

A couple of new ones: TOBS No. 74 Victorian Limes - Floridita : barrel-aged rum, fresh lime, splash grapefruit, maraschino liqueur. Grey Flannel - Violets, wood not choked out by their blanket of moss. Guerlain Vetiver - Mowing the ditch beside a tobacco field. Orange grove nearby. Richard James - T...

Hmm...I might be hard-pressed without Booster Mosswood: it's a great balance of alcohol, water, and short-lived but lovely fragrance. However, if I had to, I could do with cold water. I normally feel pretty good with just water when I have to go w/o aftershave. I'm also pondering a project to make s...

Yes, it's better than a full replacement. We shall see what develops. As for shaving, a bit of a corner seems to have been turned the last two days. Today was a 2-pass shave because a third wasn't necessary. I did lightly touch up the jawline, a stroke or two perhaps, but that's it. Both yesterday a...

Yes, slow but steady, and the minor setbacks have never resulted in the sort of trauma I would occasionally encounter with a DE when jumping from product to product at random. Yesterday was a very good shave, comfortable and event-free. I do expect a sandalwood soap or would have been easier (or lav...

My brother's in town, so posting has been infrequent the past couple of days. Friday's shave was fair: I had scraped up my neck a bit on some tree limbs I was cutting and moving Thursday, and Friday I paid the price when I shaved. Yesterday was back to very good: a 2-pass shave that left me clean-cu...

Pete, New Spice might be better suited for winter wear. I haven't tried it, but if it's at all similar to A*Men, which some have said it is, then you might want to wait until cooler weather and give it another shot. Heavier scents tend to not seem quite so heavy in November as they do in June. If yo...
