I have 5 Fedoras and about 8 Newsboy hats and 2 New York Yankees baseball hats. I love them all. I find myself reaching for Newsboys on the quick in and out type of places. If I am out and about, and not riding in the car, I tend to wear my Fedoras. I actually just talked to Art Fawcett, and will be...

THANK YOU!!!

I was able to pick up some Eau de Verveine at a $30 discount. Now the wait begins. I hope it shows up to where I will be staying for the next two weeks :)

I have the 22mm 2 Band Fan. I really wish they had the 24mm in stock, as I think i would have been a bit happier. The 22mm is a great brush, but just a tad small for my tastes

i was wanting to get a 2 band Thater, but at 175 for a 24mm knot, I think I'm gonna hold off a few.

i bought two bars out of Dallas and they were both rock hard. I found the lather less than stellar. But I suppose it was just an old batch.

Sam..

How can you tell if you have the reformulated Chergui? I have a bell jar and the regular sized atomizer. They were bought a good 2-3 years ago.

I have a few water decals from pre Vulfix days.

I have to say I like the brush. The handle is very comfortable, but I too cant see a big difference in hair quality. It reminds me of the Best Badger from the Carter days. Im not necessarily sure it warranted the money I paid, but I do have one :)

Sadly, I am still waiting for my brush. I have to ask you, do you notice any difference in what was described as extremely super badger hair?

Ill have to try the Le Labo again. When I picked up my Rose 31 in NYC i remember smelling it, and not caring for it much.

Speaking of Patchouli, I need to get me some Borneo from Serge Lutens.

Im sure you know from some of my posts that I am a Creed junky. I only wish some of their others scents had the longevity that the Aventus does. I am really on the fence about picking up Royal English Leather. But than again, I have a sample of Tom Ford Italian Cypress that is screaming for me to bu...

This is very true Sam. I cant smell it after an hour or so, but I have been complimented on it a good 8-10 hrs after application of the product. It is one of the only scents that women will ask me what I am wearing rather than just saying I smell good.
