Thank you

My mom died suddenly July 5. This was going to be mom and dad's big year- she was going to be 75 dad was going to be 80 and it was going to be their 55th anniversary. I thought I was ready, they lived in Florida and I live in Pennsylvania, so I was lucky to see them once or twice a year. Every time ...

Ok I'll take it, been looking for a travel brush. Might as well have the best.

I am a fan of beer can chicken, after a friend from work raved about it most of the summer. I tried a bunch of different rubs and ended up with his recommendation of Emeril essence. Believe me, it was tough to admit that. I do like the cheap wire holder like the link you have. That is way too much t...

Gordon, Thank you for confirming my opinion of T&H colognes. Although they do have outstanding customer service. I sent them a simple email requesting samples of there colognes, within 48 hours I got an email asking for my address to send samples, and within a week I had 7 or 8 samples in nice l...

King's Men It is what my dad wore, when he and my mom met in the '40's. I remember a bottle from my youth, mid '70's. Looked kinda like a Crown Royal whiskey bottle with a knight's helmet for a stopper. Tried to find it a few years ago, I think had been made in Ohio (low grade dept. store stuff) and...

Thank you all. I bought it to use it, and that is what I will do. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something really stupid. Do you know what it took not to use that brush last night? I have a hard time not playing with my new toys, probably the reason I am not a collector. Tonight I will give...

I just received this brush, I bought it on ebay from Canada. This is my first Plisson/good brush for that matter. So feel free to inform me if I am off the mark. From what I can find on this forum it dates from the 70's 80's? anyone know? I don't think it has ever seen water. The plissons I have see...

Really!? I have no problem with Green Irish Tweed, just surprised to see it here.

The Rotting Lettuce did crack me up.

I have only ever used two brushes- a generic badger brush and a Kent T12 for the past 2 years. So I don't even know what I want, it should be smaller then the T12, about $100, I think I want stiffer/scrubier over moppy, but other then that I don't know. I use exclusively hard soaps lathered on my fa...

Sounds like you all agree with my gut feelings. If he had given me a sob- dead uncle-story or something I might have sent it back. But just to say you changed your mind, it is a little late for that. As for selling it back for profit, I rather pass it on to one of the fine member of this board for w...

Throw in the Ho-Ho's, Bathtime for Bunny, and the dust mask and we can start talking.

I'm giving you the most intersting background award for tonight.

Gotta agree with the previous posts-stick with a non adjustable until you get the technique down. While you are learning remove as many variables as you can, trying different settings on a adjustable just complicates things more than needed. Do try different blades, they probably make a bigger diffe...

Could just be rub marks from packaging-the plating should be tougher then that. By comparison I have a 60 year old tech I bought from a fine member of this board that is in better shape then that.

Eric

He is fairly active 970 feedback since 99 with 98.7% positive, no neg in past year. Found a king_gillette blade purchase from a year ago so he's been a shaver for a while.

Sounds like you are a bit sceptical as well.

Or is that one-stop stropping

Sorry couldn't resist.

Eric

I bought this razor for $20 shipped about 2 weeks ago. I was curious about star razors and this seemed like a nice one. Over all not a bad shaver more aggressive then a tech-which I believe it was modeled after. Balance is a little off though, weightier then a tech but with the longer taper to the u...

I just spent a great day with my dad. I want to share it with you, I think some of you can relate. My parents live in Florida, and I live in Pennsylvania, so I don't see them very often. My mom and him came up to see my son's induction in the National Honor Society. Dad's birthday is coming up next ...

And if it comes with directions burn them immediately, so you are not even tempted to look at them. But seriously, I almost lost interest at number 1. The only time I would duct tape a radiator hose, would be an emergency. If you can diagnose a leaking radiator hose and have duct tape in your car--c...
