Re: Fifteen years on this forum
It's good to see you again Nate! I also hit my 15th year a few months back.

SOTD January 29 - February 4, 2024
This morning's Joris soap did OK with the Zenith boar brush, but I should have remembered to reserve the boar brush for the shaving creams. It does much better with creams. It's been a good brush, but every time I use it, there are several detached hairs. That's normal, considering how long it's bee...

Re: Posting Photos on SMF updated
I think I need to post a photo this morning, just to see how well this feature works. I've attached several photos to learn how well they remain for viewing. 2010-07-08 09 26 26 (2).jpg 2014-05-26 15 19 29.png Beautiful Wade & Butcher restoration.jpg 1940 Cadillac Fleetwood grille.png 1949 P...

On a cold gray winter Monday morning I needed a warm comfortable shave, and that's what happened when I used the Fine Snake Bite soap with the SilkSmoke synthetic brush. The lather was voluminous and tight. Yes, warm lather but a cooling soap, but that's OK. I hope everyone enjoys this morning's sha...

Re: Straight razor vs DE razor...
Thanks for the obvious effort it must have taken you to find it and post it. I have read it and I agree with it (except one comment :wink: ). . . . straight razors win over safety razors in terms of their durability, quality and class. Probably shouldn't have included that statement. That's on the a...

Re: Straight razor vs DE razor...
I'll be looking forward to the article. I need to clarify my earlier post below. I'm only saying it's the labor and time spent creating and maintaining the edge that gets very boring and annoying. When it comes to taking up the beautifully sharp straight razor and shaving, there's nothing more fulfi...

Re: Tabac After Shave and Eau De Toilette
Previously I was brainwashed and crying foul: "Stop the world --- Nothing's better than a shaving soap with tallow regardless of the brand". Translation: Several of the tallow-driven soap-makers were forced to toss the tallow and mix up something mediocre and weak, and several more just th...

I haven't tried their Sandlewood but there's a couple of shops here that carry some CM stuff. They never had the Ros so I got lucky when the CM website eventually had it in stock. I'll make a point of checking locally to see what's on the shelf.

Re: Cream versus Soap?
Dominico Caraceni 1913 cream made in Italy about 10 or 15 years ago. Fragrance is intoxicating and performance is unique and better than everything else due to the ingredients, resulting in an exorbitant price. Had to smuggle it past Mrs. brothers.

Wasn't supposed to shave until Wednesday as scheduled but I jumped the gun and enjoyed a remarkable brushless shave this morning with Caswell Massey ROS (rose) shaving cream. This is an outstanding product with or without a fragrance. The Rose is delightful. Top shelf as appropriate for the cream.

Re: Is SMF losing its vigour?
It's refreshing to be able to participate as a regular poster here at SMF. Regarding the absence of posting here, in my case, there was a substantial issue that dominated my full-time personal professional legal attention involving a 98-year-old disabled widow and various state and federal agencies....

Ahhhh! It's good to be back in the saddle again.
This morning was courtesy of Tabac (the old original).
When this stick's gone in a year or two, it's gone, but I'll enjoy it in the meantime.

Quarterfinals. I just watched Australia v. France. 120 minutes of zero to zero. It took a double overtime kick to decide the winner. You can look it up. Now I'm watching Columbia v. England. These women are incredible. I hope some among our SMF number are also interested, even if they may not bother...
