    Australian Tabacco. Crazy Expensive. Import options?

    Thread Starter: Robster

    Hi all, I WANT to get a pipe and get into the groove of pipe smoking. The thing that's keeping me at bay is the cost of tabacco in Australia. AVG price of AUD$40 to AUD$50 for 50g is between $800 and $1000 a Kg and that's NOT cheap. I'm not sure of the cost in other countries but I know...

    Cigar Of The Day (COTD)

    Thread Starter: jwhite

    Well yesterday actually:biggrin1: I had a smallish cigar about 36-38 ring gauge or so that my mother rolled for me on her last trip to Puerto Rico. Think a corona but just a bit thicker. Sweet finish as many Puerto Rican cigars seem to. I've had better, but not as much fun!

    Astra SP

    Thread Starter: DirtDiver

    I wanna say I found my blade. I have been using sharks, and have been relatively satisfied with the smoothness, but coming from a mach 3 it WAS a lot better. However, the Astra gets that real fine stubble a lot better in my opinion. I havent been brave enough to go at the feathers yet, since Im...

    I just completed a purchase of this shave cream off of the Italian Barber. It was only $6.99. Get it while it's hot, Gents! I am excited about this cream. Actually more giddy than excited. <laughing> Kirk

    Replacement for 7 O'Clock Blue (dark/Russian)

    Thread Starter: razor1

    I'm just wondering what the general consensus is on the best replacement for this blade? I loaded my last one this a.m. and didn't realize they are apparently forever gone :scared::scared: Thanks.

    Thread Starter: Shave_Rat

    So someone mentioned in the 2013 Restraint about shaving each and every day to help use up product, so this is a thread for anyone looking to get a shave every day in 2013 to track progress, challenges, and how we got by them, as well as some SOTD pics, I'm sure. My first shave of the year was a...

    TM strop question

    Thread Starter: GreekGuy

    Does/Has TM make/made a cordovan strop? I love the feel of my Kanayama's, but am impressed with Tony's level of craftsmanship. Is there anything similar? I had a Notovan at one point, wasn't my taste. Any other suggestions from TM?

    Not your average Lilac Vegetal thread

    Thread Starter: luvmysuper

So save your effervescent praise or bashing for any of the other threads. I like to solicit the opinions of the frag heads out there. I'd like...
