Danny, Yeah....well.....sort of....to a degree. Of course you are absolutely right, Gordon. There are lots of exceptions to the generalizations I offerred and that certainly makes drawing comparisons across brush manufacturers very difficult. I think our posts collectively highlight that this diffi...

I use a pad. I don't think it matters for my face, but it just saves me from needing to rinse my hands one more time.

And does it go from badger up to best badger to silvertip? I'm flailing for the jargon here. :7) I wouldn't want to touch the question about a hierarchy of brush manufacturers with a ten-foot badger hair, but I'll offer some general comments about bristle / hair grades. All of these are generally t...

I picked up some Pinaud Clubman at the local Betty's Beauty Supply. I really enjoy this scent. For me, it is one of those old-time scents that just instantly bring a babershop to mind!

Thanks Johnnie! I guess that means that when I send a note it stays in the Outbox even though it is actually sent but not yet read by the addressee. The note moves to the Sentbox not when it is sent, but when it is read by the addressee. Similarly, any note I receive appears in my Inbox even before ...

Clarification of PM system please

Hi, Can someone please explain how this board's software handles PM's? It seems to me that PM I compose sit in my "Outbox" for some time before being sent. I believe this is the case even when the addressee is on-line. Does the software wait and handle all PM's as a batch at some fixed int...

I, too, started off with a Merkur HD and then felt the urge of RAD. I have acquired about half-a-dozen razors since then, but my favorite is my Adjustable Aristocrat. I believe this is the same as a Fat Boy, but gold plated rather than chrome (nickel?) plated. If you are looking to start expanding y...
