I was not offended by this article (other than the fawning tone). It states that Indian men shave: seated on the floor, with perhaps a small amount of still water, balancing a hand-held mirror in low light, and experiencing frequent nicks and cuts from his double-edged razor. I've never shaved under...

Three Men in a Boat- Jerome K. Jerome. I don't usually post in this thread but anglophiles, and people who like British humor, will enjoy it.

People will have to visit their safe deposit boxes before any photo's can be posted. But I'm sure this will become an interesting thread after that.

Welcome.

Only tangentially related, but the first thing you should do after joining this forum is edit your hosts file to read.

Ah. I don't know if people have any way to know when these things were made (but I'm not such a fan that I keep track of the brand). One would assume that they are sold in pretty much the order manufactured, but Pauldog is selling Feathers from the 1980s or so! And the only reason we know the Feathe...

I bought a bunch in 2008 or 09 on ebay. They are OK, better than random no-name blades. Among blades that get talked about I prefer Feathers or 7 OClocks.

And from a blog previous linked I suggest: Norman Rockwell Saved from Drowning

Another alternative.
Trumper's sample pack/brochure available again (if ever it wasn't).

Art is matter out of place.

This seems like an extraordinary step, but my guess is that a couple generations of men did this without even trying for years at a time. Barbisol or Burmashave or Williams or whatever. "D.R. Harris? LUXURY! In my day we took pond scum and applied it with live boar before shaving it off with a ...

I used to think that soaps were where one inevitably ended up, but I think Gordon is a cream guy, so there you go.

I like soaps because they are essentially very concentrated creams so they are more efficient in some abstract sense and more economical. My next purchase will be a cream though.

I also got something. Some new items have been added since I first checked.

I strive to smell neutral or mildly pleasant, but not the bright shining star of the elevator I'm riding on. You were sorely missed during my elevator ride this morning. I don't think you could have taken up the space of the two or three guys who didn't share that sentiment, but you would have help...

What are you talking about? You could peel potatoes with that thing!

I'm glad you sought out this young cute assistant for that question. When she finds me we'll have something to talk about.

I keep them in my closet. Luca Turin keeps them on a shelf in the living room So I think this is in "relax, don't worry" territory, though with a solution as viscus as Skin Food I'd be afraid it would separate or something. EDIT:Sorry, I can't fix the URL! Admin Edit: I can! (Chris #1, no ...

The thing is, this can't be the only drawer that looks like that. The one above it, the one below it . . .

My god, it's full of soap.

Woo

Seriously, whether you keep Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, or Kwanzaa, I hope you find a wrapped package containing the shaving stuff you've been longing for! What about the feast of Sol Invictus, you insensitive clod!? A Christmas benediction, made interfaith by the fact that the last words...
