Bassmaster Classic- yes this is fishing!

There's a gentleman by the name of Jeff Gustafson, they call him Gussy, competing this morning in the Bassmaster Classic fishing contest. Or maybe they call it a tournament. Anyway, he is from Ontario Canada, and if he wins he will be the very first Canadian to ever have that honor. Go Gussy!😀 This ...

NASCAR 2023

Here we go again, my favorite driver who used to be my favorite driver has decided it's a lot more fun I guess to run in the 14th and 15th and 16th Place as opposed to trying to win. Pretty sad, but there are others who seem to like to win and I will continue to watch periodically until I have locat...

European qualifiers

Kazakhstan just defeated Denmark in what they call an epic win at this particular time in the competition. I watched just a few minutes of the game and it was very interesting and makes me feel good. I am making a mental note to try to watch more in the future.

Re: Barber Shop Shave - Your Expectations?

Expectations? Respectfully, I'm not anticipating my barber to be shaving my whiskers. I covet and relish shaving myself, thank you very much!.🤗 However, upon reflection, I have many happy memories of Saturday visits to Joe Winters' barber shop on Main Street in the little town where I grew up. As a ...

Re: Dr. Selby's Lavender Luxury soap ingredients

Hi Murray. We'll be eager to see your opinion of the performance and fragrance of the new Dr Selby's soap when you get a chance to lather it up and shave with it. As you say, it looks like they are keeping the basic ingredients that was a very nice all-around lathering soap. Maybe they are making so...

SOTD March 6 - March 12, 2023

Another 3 day beard flows gently into the mystic river. It's a game I enjoy playing 13 or 14 times every month. Surely we who frequent this warm and peaceful outpost share the notion that some or all of our whiskers benefit from being removed as regularly as they grow. Just for the record, my curren...

Re: Cataracts

I had both eyes done in 2014. Cataracts were corrected as well as my vision. In the beginning I had 20-10 vision which was miraculous, considering I started wearing glasses when I was about 10 years old. Then in 2017 I had a "stroke" in the right eye which resulted in a band of nothing but...

Re: Gordon or Bernards66

It's been eight years ago since he became silent. Gordon was a treasured active member here at SMF for 10 years before that. Definitely one of a kind. I wouldn't be surprised if he's living the good life somewhere in Australia these days. He used to post about having some ties to that part of the wo...

Re: Dr. Selby is Back!

Early days, around 10 years or so ago, I used this soap. When I tried to locate some for replacement, it was no longer available. It's good to know it's back!

Re: Taylor's Sandalwood

Chris, that's bad news. My old tub of Taylor's Sandalwood shaving cream is getting very close to running out so I'm looking forward to enjoying it to the max as long as it lasts. I've not used their cologne.
