SMF

s~s, the carton arrived this morning in good shape. Thanks for the great packing job. By luck I had shaved with AoS Lemon, followed by Pitralon Classic, so the #74 fit right in. A limes that lasts - nice!

Tim, the soaps arrived today in fine shape; thanks. So, bump.

I totally misunderstood the title of this post (my mistake, not yours).

Nice to see you again, Jim. SMF made great strides forward while you were away. Working together, we built an infallible database of the absolute best blade to use for every known DE razor. We scientifically determined which is the best almond soap (surprisingly, guys with huge noses craved more alm...

Nikonos has 1 post to his name, and it's one of the best ever. Cheers, dude!

For me these blades excel in a Gillette NEW. My NEW feels harsh with most modern blades, but Astra Stainless blades make it smooth and steady.

By the way, very cool web site, Jody.

So true. I was excited to pick up a bunch of gentle La Toja shave sticks in Barcelona: what a great souvenir, right? Made my face as pebbly as a basketball, only redder.

Gary, Harris Arlington soap is the one I haven't tried. My understanding is it's a lemon scent; is that correct?

If you're concerned Ed isn't a stand-up guy, here's a solution, based on my experience with him. If your check or cash is lost en route, I'll send Ed $10 to replace it; the USPS won't lose it twice. How's that sound?

Ok, good, I'm glad we're all in agreement on this question

I shaved with my Taylors Sandalwood soap yesterday. I love the scent, just as I love the scent of my TOBS Lavender soap. But the stuff is so freaking "palm-y." The lather simply doesn't compare with tallow soaps, and I already have AoS and DR Harris soaps to replace them. So I think I'm go...

Thanks for the rogues gallery, Jody.

It shouldn't be difficult to get the cap right. Even small producers like Kolynos and Barbus - both metal tubes, by the way - manage to have a cap that holds up.

--Glenn

Ed, I just PM'd you a trade offer.

--Glenn

I use Baux at least once a week, but only spring through fall. On me it smells a little too cheery for the dead of winter.

--Glenn

Congratulations, Mike!

Post up your shave kit for the big day, and if I have any of the items, I'll use them on Saturday too.

--Glenn

No customer reviews on Amazon either, but for $3 a puck, both scents interest me.

Dave, where does your brother buy his?

...My advice would be to stay away from any razor with an Old Type head, since those can bite like a rabid bulldog unless you're very careful... No lie, Martin. My guess is it's related to DE blades back in the day being significantly thicker than they are now. The razors weren't designed to be rab...

Good to see TorzJohnson again, even if he is a zombie! Aaron, you inspired me to find my old tube of Musgo this morning. The scent still reminds me of bicycle touring in the Midwest, camping in small town baseball fields with new-mowed grass. This cream would be a regular for me, if I didn't think s...
