SMF

Every time I use my Apple watch to answer a call I think of the old Dick Tracy comic strip with his "wrist radio"

But I do like the watch overall.

How timely! I bought a SilkSmoke brush a very short while ago. I have about 10 shaves under my belt with it - and was just thinking about a thread to discuss my initial thoughts. I find the brush (knot and handle it came in) very large, and very soft. The website states that the knot has been update...

Hiya,

I am only mostly dead.

Then I won't go through your pockets looking for loose change.

I was trolling West Coast Shaving's website just now - and saw something new (to me, at least). I knew Skin Food had the scents of sandalwood and coral. I thought there was a lime scent (WCS didn't show it, not sure one way or the other). BUT - I had never seen SF with the scents of Eucris or Englis...

We don't seem to have quite as many topics being raised concerning things like angle of the head for smooth shaving, or which scent is best, etc. I do remember when I first found SMF there seemed like a lot of people asking all kinds of questions. Mantic started his videos (always good), too. EDIT -...

Well, I like the scent, too ... a lot! And I always liked how my face felt after I shaved with it. Never liked its lathering capabilities, though.

My thoughts were that it might be a knock-off of a Futur, or maybe it was a company that bought and remarketed factory seconds or refurbs that they got cheap from Merkur. I am tempted, in any event, even though I have never been particularly fond of any shave a Merkur has provided me (but I have onl...

The back of the box says -- Universal Beauty Products, with offices in the US and London.

Saw this at my local grocery store yesterday.

$20 seems like a great price - IF it's as good as the original

Gary - I did a quick Google on Fine Green V - I see a Fresh V at West Coast Shaving - with tallow as the number 3. they say "triple-milled, tallow-based" in the description. Is this the same - or is the ad old? I also see an orange-based that sounds interesting. Their Snake Bite splash sou...

Love Hawaii! I was privileged to go there twice a year for a few years for work - I had clients on Oahu and the big island. Went with an engineer - we could get all our work done by 2:00 local time and spent many evenings driving around touring and trying different places to eat. The drive across th...

Back in my teens I would sometimes develop a rash with a deodorant. Stung like the devil when I applied it. But it would clear up pretty much overnight when I switched brands, and haven't had it since. I had forgotten that.

Interesting news about the aluminum, though ... thanks!

I have been using my General razor for quite some time. But - a comment from Dr Moss about the blades being for a different purpose than face shaving has stuck with me. Last night I decided to perform an experiment. I have an older Tech razor (the kind with the rounded triangle-shaped slots in the b...

Mantic's videos talk of soaking a brush in warm water while you shower/get ready/??

I thought that was the way of things when I got back into wet shaving.

Oh yeah, all the homes are well off the ground - some more than others. Ours is the highest I have seen - 24 feet tot eh bottom of the deck according to the paperwork.

I am working on a discount code (SWMBO needs to sign off).

Afternoon all, As you might know - my wife and I are Realtors here in Austin. My wife has been doing a lot of work with long- and short-term investors here in the area and we became interested. Long-term investors buy and hold - renting their properties or 1-, 2- or more year leases. Short-term rent...

My favorite Mexican beer is Negra Modelo. My son likens it to "liquid bread" since it is a dark brown color. I love it ice cold, with a lime!

Next is Dos Equis (amber).

Beyond that it's Shiner and Stella for a change of pace.

If you can get it that fast then agreed - things must have changed since January. Good for you. I like ours - that's for sure.

Sam - long post, sorry .... Wife and I dropped our gym membership back in January. We decided to get a Peloton - we both liked spinning classes in the past. Peloton models: Bike and Bike+. The Bike is now on Generation 3, which has a better tablet than Gen 1 or 2. Bike+ has a tablet on a swivel, so ...
