Leonard Nimoy has passed away. Very sad.

A size 16 EW is currently visiting and I can't wait to try it. It's gorgeous, and by far the largest brush I've ever held. An 18 must require two hands. Best of luck with your HMW.

First time ever using distilled water for a shave. The Wickham Super Smooth generates lots of lather with my hard water anyway, but the distilled took it to another level. A cup of water microwaved to warm, trickled on the soap, dunking the brush (even the razor), and wowser. Old dog, new tricks.

I received a pack of the Noxzemas from Gary and they're very good, certainly the best of the disposables I've tried. Thanks, Gary.

I've used the EJ XL over the last few days and found that it's a good latherer with a very large and soft knot that splays much easier than the smaller STFs. Still, it didn't ring any bells for me, and the -28 handle has its edges and curves in all the wrong places making it uncomfortable to grip. T...

They're shooting the 24th James Bond flick currently, and there's talk about how much longer this franchise can keep reinventing itself. I ran across this on the Web



and wonder that myself. I tired of it long ago.

The name is Bond, James Bo . . .

One eating establishment in the same block did survive the mall apocalypse, this one: http://i.imgur.com/dsgPhw5.jpg?1 They didn't sell out when all the other shops did -- but you can see the encroachment of the mall monstrosity on the left. Apple Pan has been in that spot selling burgers and pie si...

There used to be a small, hole-in-the-wall restaurant by the same name my folks used to take me to when young. Wonderful salads, black bread, schnitzel. Rosy-cheeked waitresses wearing traditional attire. Old, old paintings of sea vistas and enchanted Alpine village scenes hanging on the stucco wall...

I think those shelves are ready for their close-up, Mr. DeMille.

They have a couple stores around here that I can check into. Thanks.

Always a rough shave with the Bics, but I remain curious about Gary's Noxzema/Kai brand. Haven't found that exact packaging yet.

Sam, the EJ XL continues to sound great. And I just turned down a screamin' deal on one 'cause I'd like to try before buy. #-o BTW, there's a report that Gen 3 STF fibres are being deployed, at least for testing at the moment. They look different than the v2 what little I've seen, with thinner fibre...

Thanks, Gary. Your packaging definitely reflects Noxzema branding, but the ones I see online are like what Pete suggests. Do yours pivot? Where again can we find the "real" deal?

Gary, can you post a photo of the bag the Noxzema twins come in, please, or point me to a photo online. Thanks.

You look very extinguished, Chris, nonetheless.

Thanks for the information, Janus.

Thanks, Gary. It may be early in the process but I think the writing's on the wall with this knot, so hope to resolve this issue quickly. I believe it was shipped from the factory with a faulty one and so should be subject to replacement at fair cost. If one is offered and the price turns out to be ...

I have a new-old Simfix Grosvenor LE 2-band Super that has been shedding profusely. Even after shampooing, combing, etc., it continues to lose dozens of hairs each time. I'm continuing on with this procedure since it's the one recommended by Mark/Simpsons, but my sense is that the knot will soon be ...

Could it be this?:
