On the general subject of product reformulation, I suspect that many of the changes we notice – at least changes in fragrance - are unintentional on the part of the manufacturer. The specifications for a shave soap or cream may remain exactly the same, yet the results turn out differently. How could...

I see you're a new member, or rather an old member with two posts to your credit. Welcome back to the forum. I don't understand why, having such extremely sensitive skin, you would want a stiff, dense brush. When the fibers are so closely packed together, they result in a scrubbing action that can i...

RIM announced today a launch date of January 30 for the BlackBerry 10. If I weren't so delighted with my iPhone 5, I'd certainly wait for that event and the user reviews that will immediately follow. Sneak peeks and leaked reports are already giving this phone very high marks. Its web browser, for i...

Buzz should be everyone's role model. He uses only one soap, Trumper's Sandalwood, and he delights in it every day. Gary, you can cut those ten years of self-denial down to only a few months if you repurpose your shaving preps as bath soap and hand soap. Shaving creams work well for that purpose, an...

I'm with Clive about using MWF as my go-to bath soap. Its creaminess is its best feature. It's virtually fragrance-free, which is OK with me, since most of my other grooming products are distinctively scented. The cost per use is low. A single bar lasts me a good two months of twice-daily showering.

Squire - my cake is two or three years old. It lathers well and has exactly the same scent as Taylor's sandalwood cologne and aftershave balm, if you're familiar with them. I seldom use the soap because these days I'm into more subtle fragrances. This one packs a real punch, so if you're in a sandal...

Gareth - Have you tried putting just a drop of Trumper's Skin Food on the top of the puck? We have hard water at our cabin, and the SF has made a huge difference for me there. Yes, SF is expensive -- but you only use a drop, so it will last a loooonnng time. Hadn't heard that one before. I'm game f...

It's a tough call. On the one hand, there's the possibility that after spending $1800 on the suspension, you will sail through the next 30,000 miles with no troubles at all. On the other, various evils could crop up. Given the age and mileage of the car, that's not unlikely. My ex's 2002 Highlander,...

Beautiful pics, Scott. You're an expert on the subject of hair tonics for sure. The alum-block treatment is perfect for me with my thin but flyaway hair. And it's so easy to apply right after the shave when I have the block already deployed. However, if you are favored with a full head of hair, the ...
