I've sent a message to a clinic where he used to work. If he graduated in 1966 (I think Bernards was his high school) he is probably 75 by now and retired. I know they won't be able to tell me anything, but I've asked if they can pass my name and e-mail on to him if they have any contact info for h...

All forums seem pretty dead these days. I really do think that Social Media is largely to blame. While us older guys may prefer the forum format, the newer wet shavers are much more likely to participate on Reddit, Instagram or Facebook groups. The result is that the forums do not get the influx of ...

I really enjoyed Gordon's posts and I definitely consider him to be a mentor. I was under the impression that he was undergoing some major life changes (new marriage, moving etc) and did not have the free time to post that he once had. I'm hoping that this is the case.

It was really strange how it just disappeared.

Phil, I dug it out last night and tried it this morning. I love the scent of it. It reminds me a lot of the old T&H Lavender cream scent, which is discontinued of course. Lathered up and had a great shave. I read someone saying that this is like the old palmolive stick in it's performance and I...

I'll be interested to hear what you think of it.

Isn't it strange to see a lavender scented soap coloured green? No reason why it has to be purple, of course, but one somehow expects it. I'd try it out but I have more soaps than I can ever use and I'm still waiting for my new Shelves of Shame. Chris It is kind of curious. :) I'd think they would ...

Dr. Selby was hugely popular among American Wet Shavers 10 years ago or so. Then, seemingly overnight, it disappeared. Made in Uruguay, Dr. Selby lacked a U.S. Distributor and became impossible to source. I am happy to announce that it is back. Dr. Selby is only available in one scent (a classic Lav...

We first brought Pitralon aftershave to the United States about ten years ago but, the manufacturer required such a huge amount that we never replenished our stock when we sold out a few years ago. I am happy to announce that I have found a distributor for Pitralon Classic and we once again have it ...

'Tis true that titanium might be used in, say, a hip prosthesis. Most, though, are cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloys. with small amount of manganese, silicon, nickel, iron and carbon. Pretty much like a good quality spanner/wrench when you think about it, except for the noteworthy lack of iron/stee...
