Gents, there is a lot of discussion and interest in these Semogue brushes. From the pictures I've seen, they don't look like anything special, however, based on all the rave reviews (and reasonable prices), it might be worth giving one a try. 2 questions: 1. Which of the Semogue brushes would be con...

Shavejunkie, by all means, post some straights for sale if you wish. I have no kind of empirical data to support this, but my gut feeling is that the members here are split roughly 60%-40% in favour of DEs. Gareth And many members, such as myself, participate in both - DE and straight shaving. Best...

Unlike Dr. M, I only have 2 of these brushes (1 + a backup). For me, it is a very serviceable brush - used mainly on those "Proraso days" - never been used on a triple-milled soap or cream. The bristles are soft and very "springy" - oddly, the brush MAKES lots of lather, but does...

Gents, Crown and Creed are pending (looks like I may have underpriced these - particularly the Crown - didn't do my homework on the retail value - oh well, good deal Andy!) TOBS and Harris milk are pending The creams all all top quality, if you order 2 or more, I'll knock $5 off. Best ... Steve

Gents, Must make room for some new things coming in - these are a bunch of items that are all great, but don't get much use: Soaps Occitane soap in metal bowl, used twice - can still see the lettering on the soap $30 <-- lowered to $25 <-- SOLD Proraso Ultra Sensitive, never used (have another one) ...

My acquisitions have slowed recently for 2 reasons. First, I have acquired many things that I wanted to try, and narrowed down certain preferences. Second, some of the items on my "want list" are EXPENSIVE (eg, a high-end straight and perhaps a Plisson brush). In my cabinet currently: 8 ba...

Gents, It was indeed an awesome experience - kind of surreal - the type of thing that you really have to experience to appreciate. In any case, it was over so quick (ran 300m in total) - likely a couple min, but it felt like 30 seconds in total. Good thing for pictures and video. Here is a link to t...

Gents, thought you'd like to know that one of the SMF members, that being me, is carrying the Olympic Torch tomorrow morning. This is the day that the flame is coming into Toronto. My run is east of Toronto in Whitby.

I'll post a few pics over the next couple of days.

Eames lounge chair for me - I have no idea how they arrived at this - seems like they heavily weight your TV show preference (Mad Men).

Fun little distraction - thanks for sending.

No, I'm not another sports hater - I love sports, playing and watching. You name it, golf, hockey, baseball, basketball, football ... hell, I even watch English-league darts (and poker) occasionally. I love the competition, the teamwork (for certain sports) - the way that sports so often mirrors lif...

Simple, delicious, highly-drinkable, simple-to-make:

Tom Collins

Limeade + 1.5 oz Vodka (Smirnoff is good) over ice

If you must, add a bit of sprite, but, I think it's unnecessary.

This is an excellent, cool, refreshing beverage, perfect for after-work.

Less than 10%. For me, I nick less than DE when using a straight - perhaps I just am more careless with the DE.

Damn however posted a link to http://www.brentblack.com/index.html this may cost me a bundle - looking to buy a golf hat, and these from Brent Black seem to be just the ticket. I bookmarked that site a while ago - so thank to the "enabler" who posted the link - just hope the wife never fin...
