Very much enjoy the Proraso Green tub, although I overdosed on it when I was travelling back and forth between Winnipeg and Toronto for close to a year as it was my daily soap. I haven't used in over a year... kind of like eating nothing but KD or Ramen noodles everyday while in University!

I have a red 49 and it just sat there unused for the longest time - pulled it out a couple of weeks ago and had a terrific shave with some Cella soap... this combination was mean't to be! ...wondered why I hadn't used it before... Oh well, now I know!

Here is a Tortoise Plisson in Pure Badger that just sold on eBay. It originally was sold at Eaton, a store in Canada that apparently closed in the 1990s. "Eaton's" - a national chain, closed in late 1990's. Their iconic building here in Winnipeg took up an entire city block - it was demol...

I used a harness (EzyDog) and it works very well. I've switched back to a collar for the time being as he's going through his intermediate obediance level. As a bit of a side-bar - I also have a couple of gizmo's that hook up to my bike which allow the both of us to get a bit of exercise - one uses ...

I have a Corningware mug I use to soak my brush - after shaving I squeeze out the excess lather, rinse under hot water and then do a laundry machine routine where I run fresh hot water into the mug and pump and swirl the brush around, dump the water and repeat twice more. I end with a final rinse un...

I bought a Honda mower in 1991 and it started on the first pull every time until 2003 when I got a service in. I still have the mower sitting in the garden shed and it still looks very good. I also have a Toro snowblower which has given me nothing but trouble every year. If the need arises again I w...
