The new James Bond ... and his safety razor
I was amused, reading the new James Bond novel Carte Blanche by Jeffery Deaver, that Bond uses a safety razor: He shaved with a a heavy, double-bladed safety razor, its handle of light buffalo horn. He used this fine accessory not because it was greener to the environment than the plastic disposable...

Vetiver
Just re-reading Alan Clark's diaries on Kindle, and a reference is made to Vetiver which has hitherto passed me by as a classic men's scent — anyone got any recommendations?

I dont get ereaders when you can have an ipad for a *few* bucks more... I have both. The iPad is a great portable computer, but it's a lousy e-reader. The Kindle is a great e-reader, but it's a lousy portable computer. I don't see them as competitive devices in any way. For what it's worth, if I ha...

brian I think bbs originated as a phrase used by guys who wanted to brag about how close they could shave. The first concern is a comfortable shave and the rest follows with practice which you get to do every day. This has always been my mantra. A comfortable shave is much more important than a clo...

I can relate. I started on my DE adventure two or three years ago and rapidly accumulated a selection of four or five of the most popular razors in current production. Right now, I could happily bin them all and survive with just the Slant. It's been my go-to of choice for at least the last six mont...

I purchased an All-ett a couple years ago and it was one of the worst purchases I made. They didn't have the leather one at the time (I still see the interior is sail-cloth) so I bought the original. The embarrassment of pulling that thing out of your pocket at a restaurent and it crinkling loudly ...

I'm a fan of wallets that are thin and will fit in my pocket. That generally rules out rivets of any sort, clips, change pouches, and tri-folds. And it still has to be made of leather. Then let me introduce you to the wallet that changed my life: http://www.all-ett.com/productdetails.asp?prodid=10&...
