Thanks Gary, and the same to you and all the members of SMF.

Since my hospital stay I have not had the shaving enthusiasm I had before my illness. I shave every day or so and don't bother with the DE or SE razors in my collection to get close. I prefer a BIC Sensitive disposable and a brushless cream or gel. Super easy and good enough for an elderly gent who ...

I was going from memory. It had been so long I must have forgot. Where did you get yours Squire? I got mine on ebay.

Thanks Gary. I will check online at Walmart and see what they have.

I have had a constant reddish irritation of my lower legs caused by edema (swelling from fluid buildup). I have used every kind of balm and grease to relieve it. I found the greases (Aquaphor, Vaseline etc.) sooth and lubricate but not cure. Emulsions like Vaseline intensive care or probably after s...

Either one is pretty pricy on ebay now.

Today I was strong enough to do my old shave pattern. N to S on Cheeks and chin; S to N on neck; followed by reversing directions. Then it's R to L everywhere, followed by NR to SL and then reverse. Final polish ATG. Rinse well and dry and slosh on whatever. Changed blades in the middle because the ...

Wow, I have bought a bottle of Joy for my wife on ebay and never thought to compare the two. I got a small sampler of HB and rarely use it too. I think I'll go put some on now and see if my wife notices it.

Gucci makes an edt with cedar overtones that I like occasionally. Too costly for every day, I got a couple of samples.

Thanks Gary.

Know I am really confused. When I looked up the Feather Pro blades it said they only fit the Feather straight barber razor, nothing like the General that Gary showed.

I am just getting used to blade razors after my long stent in the hospital. Mostly, I use very safe razors like the Bic sensitive or Schick hydro and mostly brushless cream because I can shave dressed and clean up is easy. I am working into my brush and other razors gradually.

Gary, where did you get the General? I might need one :roll: :roll: I found it in brass at Colonial Razors. $99. New aluminum head adds $29. I guess it is too perfect for me right now. It's stranger that they say the finish is not perfect. Colonial has a very limited amount of merchandise and is run...

Tere used to be a product called O'cedar that was a cedar oil furniture polish. May still exist. Check at Amazon. Nope, it's gone. The replacement is about $65 a pint. What happened?

I have just spent over three weeks in the hospital with a bad bleeding ulcer (lucky to be here). Lots of healing left but I look forward to my visits here.

The last time this happened was with the Rubies and several of us challenged the seller via ebay and the phonies were pulled. It would be a service to the club if you did the same.

A few years ago I wanted a rain head shower. Costco, at the time had a kit with a rain head and a valve to a chrome side hose and wand. It had a beautiful side fixture to glue to the wand. The only problem was a mandatory water saving restrictor in the rain head. I got a screwdriver and pried that o...

I saw an article on Ayninger Bocks yeaterday. They said that Easter called for a richer flavored spring bock and so was born the double bock. Their version is called Salvetor and it is my favorite.]

Real Pierre Cardin was discontinued years ago. The label on ebay is not old stock. I got a tube of their shave balm to check the scent. Close but not the real thing.

My stock of Super Irridiums were from before they combined the label with Polsilver. Also my stock of Polsilvers were from before they combined with Super Irridiums. Of the two I prefer the old Polsilves but both were great blades. I have been nurturing my dwindling supply because they are my all ti...
