Sam, you're not the only one. I drink Mountain Dew like it's going out of style and I love great coffee. Some teas are great as well. Four you a couple of years, I bet it's been at least 12 for me. Too much cough syrup gives me a buzz now.

Richard, I'm impressed with your tying ability. Getting back into fly tying and fishing has been a desire of mine since I moved to PA. I grew up doing it in Maine and all New England. If things work out, I'll hopefully be doing some fly fishing this year. Today was: Merkur vision with merkur blade v...

I love the products I've used so far, in fact on the shave of the day thread, today was a Nancy boy day for me. I used the toning mask last night, and it was great. I won't use them exclusi...

John, no not really. They are an all natural tooth paste, with no sweetners and artificial stuff, just flavor oils for their flavors. It takes a few days to get used to the non sweetness of them, but once I did, I've used nothing else for at least 15 years. My favorites are the cinnimint and the cin...

Prairie, I am a Toms of Maine apologist. I actually grew up about 20 minutes from them. I love their toothpastes, soaps, mouth rinses, floss, and deodorant. Everychance I get, I plug their stuff here. My brother has a friend that works there, and last time I was home I got hooked up with a bunch of ...

I didn't catch that part, but I saw her in the back shaving him. All I can say is I was reminded why I changed from those razors when she was really digging in on his shave. I think I got burn and irritation just watching it.

I'll put another vote in for QED Peppermint/Tea Tree/Patchouli. Great cooling effect throughout the shave, and when you splash some cold water, Wow, watch out.

The Trumpers Rose or Taylors Rose are both great, with pretty subtle scents. Also there are some great lavenders out there which are good for sensitive skin.

I echo these gents. Seeing that Propylene Glycol is used with distilled water for humidifier solutions for humidors, they'd have to make it illegal before I stop using it.
Given your past, it's completely understandable how cautious you are though.

Yes it is. I grew up in Maine and I come from an extremely french family, in fact, my Dad grew up in Quebec. One thing I learned well growing up, is the french slang, swear words.
