While I admire your perserverance in using two razors at the same time, I am confident that it is ruining your DE technique. The spring loaded M3 negates any poor technique, while the DE will show poor form. Give it two full weeks before you make a decision to stay with the M3. I, too, thought to bl...

I have several of the Penhaligon's scents. The English Fern will last all day long. The B Bouquet does seem to fade and seems a little peppery at first. One thing to remember about these scents is that as the top notes wear down, the mid and lower notes will become more noticeable. This is almost li...

Another way to sell is to list your item here and say, "Highest Bid - Reserve set. One week to submit your offers via PM." It's essentially a silent auction, but you have the descretion to accept the highest offer or not by simply announcing, "Reserve not met. Item moved to eBay."...

As bad as that segment was (lacking in detail, glossing over the common downfalls and being rushed in its presentation), it did eventually end up getting me interested in a round-about way from a link in the Digg.com website.

At least bad publicity is better than none at all, I suppose.

Scotto is offering a great opportunity for new wet shavers to sample a wide variety of choices at about what one or two tubs of two scents would cost.

I've walked your shoes. My condition was very similar to yours. Here's my recommendation. Eliminate the pre-night scrubbing. Give your face a rest and some more time to heal. Shower first in the morning to soften up the whiskers. Run the hot shower water on your face as long as you can stand it and ...

Yep, Londons is a great shop. A little on the high side, but it's worth it to support them and keep them in business.

I'm in Staunton. I've only been once, but I plan to go as often as my wife will let me!

I fit your description. Here's my take on it. Order a sample kit from Scotto at BadgerAndBlade.com in the For Sale section. 35 dollars will give you 12 creams to pick from.
