Harris Teeter has this Tweezerman badger brush for $15. Not a shabby deal, iit seems.

As I am learning, I skip if my skin gets bad. I try to go a while if I skip, like a three-day weekend. The past few days I've been taking a different angle. shave twice a day, but only one pass. This morning I did ATG after last night of WTG and, well, my face is better than it usually is with WTG. ...

Wow, bic picture. Thing looks like a Mach3.

Wow, you mean there was a "shocking" abuse of police authority, it was caught on video, and it wasn't in America? Wow.. Feels kinda weird. Heh, just relieved this didn't happen here, after all the previous similar recent incidents we've had. Still disturbing though, and there are a few thi...

If Duvel didn't lager condition their beer at 31F for two weeks or so before bottling and sending off, it wouldn't be Duvel, even if they used the same ingredients at the beginning. If this story about the aging of Trumpers cream is true, Trumpers' responses have still been disingenuous, because the...

Hmm.. I wonder if I have a metal allergy. There is a website that says that some people are allergic to nickel. However, the same site says that stainless steel, while containing nickel, does not cause any symptoms because the nickel is to tightly bound. But does this make sense? An alloy is a mixtu...

Finally opened up the Derbies in my sample pack. I think I may prefer the teflon (or otherwise) coated blades. Wow. The difference was night and day from the previous Treet Platinum. No pulling on the first pass after a days growth following a WTG shave that wasn't very effective. ATG pulled a littl...

You guys who roast your own coffee beans: what roaster do you use/recommend? LG, If I had to do it over, I would probably go HG/DB, which means heat gun/dog bowl. Its simple and cheap, and you have excellent control, and all kinds of feedback on what's happening to the bean during the roasting proc...

(people will debate the distinction believe it or not) Oh, I believe it... and that is because crema is a polyphasic colloidal foam created by the coffee oils when extracted under pressure (i.e., espresso machine), while the Briki coffee foam is different in appearance and, well, flavor is just dif...

Cold cream hits it on the head for the TOBS I've received, both Avocado and Lime.

To clarify, SM sells Ibrik pots, which are used to make Mediterranean coffee, and included on the site are directions to make Turkish coffee with the device. There is nothing too special about the Ibrik except the shape. The conical shape naturally decants the coffee when pouring it into serving cup...

I've heard TOBS is in the same boat. Now I've not been around long enough to have the old stuff, but my TOBS Avocado is very soft, kind of like a very dense mousse, like a pudding but not gelatinous. Is this the new formulation? I ask because I've had better results with Proraso even though the TOBS...

Illuminating post! Succinctly put together and a good read. So much so that my natural instinct to pick it apart and start a discussion on the details is suppressed. In other words, you successfully shut me up, which is a difficult thing to do.

A while back I saw a post about a guy selling samples. A thought perhaps is to get in contact with him and get a bunch.. But now that I think about it he might have just been doing cream samples... Not sure how to find the post, but its a possibility if you can find someone doing samples to just cas...

That razor in the upper right hand corner, I would sell. Or is that a cat? First, Happy Anniversary, Rasco! And congratulations on retirement. Second, It has to be a tough decision on which to let go. I've had pretty good luck with the S/O and my "junk" if I keep the things I collect in at...

I can't speak to its durability, because I don't use it that often. I have the carafe model. The coffee is excellent, though. I find myself usually preferring another brewing method like the Aeropress, because I'm usually making it for myself. Also, be careful not to grind too fine or the coffee wil...

Would it be anything like Turkish coffee? http://www.sweetmarias.com/prod.brewers.ibrik.shtml Here is the TV http://www.sweetmarias.com/prod.technivorm.shtml Its going to be hard to beat a vacuum pot, from what I hear. I've been looking for a good one. Haven't made it over the critical mass, conside...

Very interesting I wonder when do you guys find the time to buy green beans, roast them, etc. Must be very nice to have decent coffee (as opposed to Starbucks, its coffee makes my belly bloat every time). On the other hand, I like the kick from a strong brew (Turkish) so I am not sure light roasts ...
