What music are you listening to lately?
I have been following The Black Keys - a throwback rock duo that introduced me to Junior Kimbrough's style of blues music. I have been listening to The Black Keys' Chulahoma (The Songs of Junior Kimbrough) and I have played a track nearly every day for the past 2 weeks. Ironically (or perhaps predic...

GFT - Soap Reformulation - Again
I read speculation that GFT is coming out with a new re-formulated shaving soap. Apparently, several of their soaps have not been available for some time. In addition, there have been unpackaged runs of Trumper's soap on EBay. I had little success with their shaving soaps. Given all the praise of th...

I wonder with all this regulatory BS going on if it might encourage additional artisan perfumers to create all natural classic men's fragrances? Perhaps demand will get to where we at SMF no longer rave about familiar classic colognes, but artisan companies offering low volume/high quality natural s...

Go with Squire's comments. By now, I have tried most common vintage shaving soaps - with the exception of Royal Fern. (Not so common...) Even though I own a good supply of Yardley shaving soap, I am not sure it is worth the prices I paid for it. IMO, many current top quality soaps such as Harris, MW...

Thanks for all the well wishes. I am testing the sample soap all this week. Although the soap initially lathers really well, there appears to be tweaks required in terms of cushion and lather stability. If there's one thing I do know, a properly developed product usually takes time. That said, I am ...

Finally!! Update - Tallow Soap Project
For those of you that remember, I have been trying to get my triple milled shaving soap project off the ground for nearly two years. Without getting into all the details, trying to get this soap made through contract manufacturers has been very challenging. After nearly giving up, I decided to work ...

It's funny how when one experiences top calibre quality; everything else pales in comparison. Over the years of trying well reviewed classic fragrances, I have witnessed poor reformulations time after time. Floris 89 and PdN New York's new formulas particularly irk me. Unfortunately, many people don...
