I really love her Lavender cream. A very nice scent. I found that for some reason, I can get a closer shave with her creams than any others (such as the 3Ts). I've never had any discomfort with hers either. Some other creams (Nancy Boy) don't seem to provide as much protection for me. I haven't trie...

I have been very happy with one of Ansgar's scuttles. I fill it with hot water before my shower, and it retains the heat (after replacing the water) long enough for a very leisurely shave. My brush soaks in the 'spout' before lathering up in the ridged interior. My retracted Moss VLB and Vulfix trav...

Definitely get the water tested. Also, most home ion exchange softening systems I've seen do NOT have what is called a blend/bypass valve. This is something ALL municipal versions have. Blending some raw water into the soft water cuts down on unnecessary salt consumption and is also easier on any me...

You can't beat this meat.
I've eaten a lot of different cuts of meat as grilled steaks, but one shines above all the others. I'm talking about the 'flat iron steak'. This cut was supposedly discovered at a Nebraska university. There are two to a critter, so it is not a common cut. It looks a bit like a flank steak, but is wa...

The best pipe to start with is a Missouri Meerschaum cob pipe. I prefer the Pride, but have some other models as well. For the rest, I have an assortment of briars (Boswells are a good value) and some meers. The best smoking meers of the bunch are the IMP pipes I bought from meerfan . Just remember:...

I feel your pain. My company (huge multinational) has the same type of policy. This is fine for most of their employees, but the .1% of us that are field engineers sometimes need to monitor the laptop from a distance for longer periods. I've talked with I.T., and there is no chance that they will ma...

Squire, I'll take the blame for a lot of things, but Hammam Bouquet down the drain?! Wow. That said, I have a couple of sample vials somewhere; maybe half a one isn't such a bad idea. Perhaps the Sunday of our child's baptism. Oooh, scented baptismal water. What a way to start them off. Or did you ...
