Re: Where is Everybody?!

I miss Clive's participation here at SMF. His last post was July of last year. 😥

Re: SOTD May 1 - May 7, 2023

This morning's shave was delightful due to the new soap I recently bought from BullGoose, called Asylum Flying Mango soap. Made in Italy. I highly recommend it. This soap has a pleasant fragrance, and provides a protective lather that doesn't fade away during the shave. I'll be looking forward to us...

SOTD May 1 - May 7, 2023

Monday morning - First time I've ever owned or used a tub of Kent shaving cream. It's quite nice, and I'm looking forward to using it regularly. The brush was the SilkSmoke synth, and the razor was the General. Schick Proline 30 is this month's blade, and of course, Finished it off with the Superior...

Re: New Website Has Launched

Hello Phil. I notice that "The Shave Nook" forum is no longer active. What happened?

:D PS - I've just placed an order at BullGoose for those soaps and creams I've been wanting for a while. Looking forward to using them.

Best Regards! :wink:

Re: SOTD April 17 - April 23, 2023

Friday, already! I've got another April week to experience the remaining 3 DRH shaving creams as managed by the trustworthy Zenith boar brush before moving on to a couple of soaps, and giving the Zenith a well-deserved rest. I confess I forgot that I wanted to use the Zenith this morning, and applie...

Re: Frivolous ADA Lawsuits

From what I've seen so far it appears to be someone in the shaving goods and services market who wants to chase the competition out of town so they can scoop up the business. Otherwise they would be going after each and every website anywhere and everywhere in the realm of the ADA. If they're sincer...

Re: SOTD April 17 - April 23, 2023

Came across a new tub of Caswell Massey Almond brushless shaving cream a while back. Brushless in the sense that any effort to use a brush is absolutely fruitless and frustrating. Just use your fingers and enjoy the shave. The fragrance is great, the cream is slick, and the results - in my opinion -...

Re: Frivolous ADA Lawsuits

One may presume that the plaintiffs and/ or their advocates have carefully chosen their venue beforehand based on the voter politics and judicial leanings of the current appointees who may influence the outcomes. We shouldn't get our hopes up.

Re: Frivolous ADA Lawsuits

A regrettable misuse of the courts. What kind of a judge would entertain hearing such a case. Rhetorical question of course. Meanwhile the defendants are looking at legal fees of at least $4000 just to get it thrown out. If the court eventually orders the plaintiffs to reimburse the successful defen...

SOTD - April 10 - April 17, 2023

In my case here's what's been working best these days living out of a suitcase. First I splash my face with warm water. Then I squeeze a generous one-inch round blob of Harris shaving cream out of the tube and into my fingers. I wipe the cream evenly all over the area to be shaved. I might decide to...

Re: Is SMF losing its vigour?

Actually I did donate more than once.😎 The gallery is a thing of the past, and I have all of my photos saved on my device and in the cloud, which render a feature such as the old gallery unnecessary. I've always presumed that's why it was taken down. My experience with other forums makes me aware th...

Re: Lather While Traveling

Good subject. In my case lather isn't a requirement. Easily available but unnecessary. When we're home it's something that creates a bit of enjoyment at the moment. On the road not so much considering the other stuff that goes on.

Still on the road and the DR Harris Arlington cream is almost gone. Smells nice and performs just as well with or without a brush.
