Neither do the ones at the KOP Mall.

Chris, it's a triple-milled soap. Here are the ingredients, in order: sodium palmate sodium palm kernelate water frafrance isopropyl lanolate linalool sodium chloride glycerin limonene isopropyl myristate tetrasodium EDTA coumarin eugenol evernia furfuracea (treemoss) extract BHT tetrasodium etidro...

Wow, I thought Trumper's Coconut cream was a pretty strong scent. I can only imagine how intense Colleen's version is. If she's using coconut oil the lather may be a little richer. I know the Trumper's coconut is because of the coconut oil. It is one of the most protective creams available IMHO. Chris

Dr. Moss,

I assume your period of incognito has expired? Good to see you back to your old self.

Chris

I use one on the rare occasions the Master Bath is tied up. I'll shave at my bureau (straight shaving makes this easy as no running water is required in my method). I don't really use the magnification side of it. Mine is pedestal mounted. Dr. Moss has provided a nice example of a wall mounted one. ...

Is this stuff still tallow based?

Chris

Yes, that sinks pretty old (that's to say that it's quite VINTAGE!) The good thing about it is that there's plenty space for all my 'paraphernalia', and it's right in front of a south facing window- so the light's good! Thanks for sharing, it brings back many happy childhood memories of a relative'...

Mr Stewart is that a WWII sink? OMG I haven't seen one of those in years!

Chris

It's perfect for the office as well as the ball or even hanging around the house.

I going to do a turnabout here from my earlier impressions of this scent. I had been enjoying my sample of it very much since my last post on this. And I really appreciate this scent now. So I went ahead and got a bottle of it. WOW, even better from the bottle! I love it! Been wearing it quite a lot...

Jordan,

Another solution is to wear a thicker cloth shirt like the non-iron shirts from Brooks Brothers. No one will see your t-shirt.

Well, a long time ago the menthol thing was promulgated by many a purveyor of shaving products and information. I have repeated it. One cream manufacturer, it was believed, acted upon it but then reversed themselves. It was based on a notion that menthol actually does not soften the beard but has a ...

Pennypack Park off of Tyson Ave (I think it was off of Tyson) in Northeast Philadelphia. Many magical moments in the nestles of the woods there. Somerton in general also evokes the feelings generated by the song.

Another vote for the Floris Vetiver. I love the stuff. You have to go easy on it in the office though as it's very strong. The J. Peterman 1903 is an excellent cologne but it's more sweet than spicy at least when first applied. The dry down is definitely more smokey and dark spicy though. As with ev...

Richard, I'm not sure what can be done about it. Perhaps a dental hygenist might be the best consultant. You can take comfort in one thing: whitening toothpastes are a waste of money per my old employer (who made some of them). Most of your cheap toothpastes do the same job and none of them actually...

Rufus, thanks, I appreciate it.

Chris

Rufus, how did the experiment end?

Perhaps I should clarify...I am not talking about staining on my dress shirts...what happens over time is that the color literally fades in my armpit area, as if someone applied bleach to my shirts. What I am trying to determine is if this is due to the aluminum content of most deodorants, a chemic...
