Woo hoo! My first SOTD! My little man, who starts kindergarten Tuesday, pitched in some supplies to give it that 'elementary' touch. '54 Gillette SS Cheapo boar brush Taylors Lavender Soap AOS Pre-shave oil Treet blade Finished with some Cetaphil moisturizer http://jlgnbrowning.com/SOTD.jpg Jeff

Well I went with the Crystal Israeli. Not to impressed with it. Gave me about the same as my Merkur blades which means some irritation on the neck. Definitely going to try them all vbut yes, tonight I am going to use one of the Treets. Jordi, you gotta' admit, it was probably the first irritation-fr...

Made in the 4th quarter of 1951. And it still goes strong...

It is how they helped me identify mine.

Cheers!

Greg, you are aware most hot dogs are made of lips and ***holes...

Sorry, couldn't pass this one up!

Sitting here looking at all the pretty packages wondering which one will I christen tonight in my SS! What to do, WHAT TO DO!!!

PEACE!

Interesting, Scott. I just read on B&B that a guy uses rubbing alcohol (one with a high percentage of alcohol) in a little jar and immerses his razor, head down, between shaves. I'm going to give that a go. "High percentage" could be 99% alcohol---I've seen that kind of rubbing alcoho...

I always visit the restroom upon entering a restaurant. Mainly because I want to wash my hands, but also to check the cleanliness. If the restroom is dirty, I'm gone. Randy Amen Brother! Once at lunch with some co-workers, I walked into the restroom at one of our favorite Chinese restaurants. It lo...

I am sure someone must have posted this in the past, but alas, I could not find it with a search. I should warn that while the language may be offensive to some, it is The Onion!

It does make you wonder what goes on in marketing.

What the hell, I guess I am not the only one on holiday! Damn you guys are fast! LOL Thanks for the info. I had no idea this one was from the 50's. Gotta love lasting quality. I only wish it were adjustable.

I am hoping the collective brain power of this group can shed some light on which razor I have. Like I said before, I picked it up in an antique shop one day a few months back when I decided to take the DE plunge. The only markings are as follows: PAT. NOS. ON PKG. Reg. US PAT. OFF. Z 2 GILLETTE MAD...

About an hour going and an hour half coming home. For me it's because we live in the school district my wife teaches at and our kids attend. Plus we are in the country and I prefer that over the city any day. Did my time living in the city and I just like being in BFE! And we have a real nice water ...

Well tonight I figured out one thing I've been doing wrong. I found myself making multiple passes without reapplying any lather. All of a sudden I heard my grandpa's voice telling me never to run a blade across my skin without lather. Now granted, my shaves have been getting closer the more I practi...

I've gotta' say, while I've been to most, the best deals can be found on the net. Much better prices and selection. Of course it is nice to actually see a product, smell a products, etc before committing to buy. hairM has quite a large selection of AOS and other products but their prices seem a litt...

15,111 days. But who's counting.

While I don't know squat about trumpet mouthpieces, and I can go on ad nauseum about sticks and mallets! In answer to Paul's quesiton, A1c is the abbreviation for Glycosylated hemoglobin or hemaglobin A1c. It is a mesurement (average) of one's blood glucose over a 2 - 3 month period. As one living w...

Just had one blasted with liquid nitrogen at the doctors office Friday. Sure is sore today. Blistered that puppy real good. She was pretty adamant about getting it off. Said they were highly contagious but didn't say what problems they possess. Regardless, I hope it doesn't return...

I figured I would say hi to all for what looks like a great group. Joined (or should I say in the process) wet shaving a few months ago. Started with a Gillette DE I picked up at an antique store for $6 and is in excellent condition. Really started to get impressed when I added Merkur blades to it. ...
