Mmmmmmmmm.......... PANCAKES!!

Good breakfast: Five pancakes generously smothered in butter and maple syrup, three fried eggs, two emu sausage patties (emu makes great sausage!!), four pieces of thick cut bacon, one thick sliced slab of thoroughly fried scrapple, two whole wheat bisquits, homemade corncob jelly, a large mug of double strength day old coffee, and some cranberry juice to wash it all down with.

About a year or so ago. It was very low, along with my blood pressure (which the doc was amazed by considering I was still drinking very heavily). At 74 years old, I can still hit the deck and knock out 50 straight pushups. Not back for an old fart, eh.

My grandad taught us kids that the only way to get big and strong was by eating a good breakfast. Unfornately, in my youth, that was just a dream (this old bird was born to a coal mining family in southern W.Va. We were lucky to just stay alive some winters). Then I got out of the mountains as a teenager, and I got a job. As soon as I was able to buy my own food, I started eating big breakfasts, and between the hard work and big meals, I got pretty damn strong for my size (5'10", 180 Ibs)

On a slightly related note, I picked up a tube of Jack Black Lip Balm while I was in Florida. It provides great protection from the elements. I put it on before I go out on my bike and I have been surprised at how little damage the wind has caused thus far.

Mornin ladies and germs. Obviously by now it is known the tone of our little game with LM has taken a darker turn. How that happened exactly I'm not sure. I thought we were all on the same page with respect to this fake rivalry. It has been totally made up and was never in any way to be taken seriously. But then again I've been woozy the past two days from a heady concoction of Dimetap, Nyquil and a little white pill my wife slipped me. So I may have pushed things over the top a bit. Anyway please no one post any more rivalry related stuff over in LM. As I mentioned to them some of their numbers come here and some of ours go there so we always have been and should continue to be friendly. We are all B&B'ers in the end. We're here for the shaving info, the rest is just window dressing.

Sorry all around if any offense was taken. That was never the intention. Gotta go get ready for work now. Still not 100%, but I'm gonna wobble into work anyway.

everyone with bleeding hands please go out and get yourself some shea butter, I suggest slaveation 16oz pure shea butter http://www.salveation.com/ . My hands use to bleed a LOT, I use philosophy (it all smells girly though) body lotion and shea butter on my hands and I haven't had any troubles since. I only use it once a day when I get out of the shower and my hands are typically soft all day. You might want to buy one large and one small shea butter so you can keep one with you.

Ah. Okay. So we face similar elements. In all honesty, I can't stand pure Shea Butter because of the greasy feeling it gives me. I've got some, but don't use it often. My hand cream and lip balm both contain Shea Butter, but I'm still looking for something a bit stronger.

The seller didn't specify, they have a feedback score of 100% but I noticed that last year he had a few negatives for not sending things (which I didn't look at before I bid, this was entirely my fault) he has done a few recent transactions for the same thing i ordered and they were all positive. I sent several messages just saying I like to keep in contact with sellers please send me a response and shipping information if you have it and he never responded. It wasn't anything big, I was running out of shea butter so I ordered a 16oz jar of it from him. With shipping it only ran me about $17 but it's still a pain in the ass. I noticed the other items he sent recently took about a week to get to their destinations from the day they were ordered so I'll give it 2 more days but if it hits day 11 I'll have to file a claim for it.

I had the same problem with Coconut Lime Verbena this morning. I got a little cocky and whipped it up quick and it wasn't as good as other days. When I take my time with HBS I get a lather that is 2nd to none, should have taken my time this morning.

I have not yet used the HBS yet, but I can tell you that almost evey different kind of soap has its own unique soap to water ration. They are sometimes a little difficult to figure out too. From the sound of things though, you had it too wet. If that happens again, squeeze your brush into your lather bowl, reload the brush with soap, and then use the existing lather in the bowl to build a thicker lather. Sometimes clay based soaps work the best when the lather seems a little dry.

I just used the Lilac HBS that Shep sent me. It is pretty damn good. I would have to compare it to the soaps made by Joanna at TSD. They shave very similar. While being among the top small soapers out there, they are not quite on par with Colleens soaps from TGQ. I think Colleen has shave soap perfected.

First it was bunnies, now chickens. Have you all noticed an uncomfortable affinity for small animals around here. I'll tell you how I like chicken: rolled around in bread crumbs and fried up in a pan of hot oil! Oh yeah and they give us eggs too. You know how I feel about eggs.

The HBS soap is currently my #2 favorite behind Tabac. Tabac sets the soap gold standard IMO and will be pretty tough to beat. I have yet to try the TGQ stuff and am awaiting a shipment from Rolls. He claims they are better (see above), and I'm looking forward to a comparison. I will say this about HBS: the FO's do sting me a little. You all know the issues I had w/ the Lilac. Now today the BR heated up my upper lip just a bit. I still need to try the lime and oakmoss to see how they react. The reaction I'm getting is nothing terribly painful or upsetting. It's there, I notice it, but the shaves are so nice I'm willing to overlook it. I may order an EO soap from her someday, but honestly I'm all set on soaps/creams for now. Believe it or not I may have finally satiated the monkey. I know; hard to swallow, but a guy can hope can't he?

Tracy you really need to purchase a tub of TOBS from WCS or elsewhere. It's such a thick cream that it's almost soap. Fantastic shave and scents. It's pretty much the Tabac of creams I think. Though I do get a really nice shave from the Body Shop cream too. A tie maybe...

I have TOBS almond and I like it a lot. I had Rose and Avacado but sold them--they didn't do it for me. I get good shaves with the TOBS, but I get better shaves with the HBS

I keep hearing mixed reviews on that Avacado. The only TOBS I've used is this Eton College, and I really like it as we've discussed. You're quite correct in that HBS provides a fine shave. If memory serves you've got about six of them right? That should get you through the new year. :rolleyes:

EDIT: And btw I forgot to comment on your cattle drive post. Growing up in W. So. Dak. and coming from a farm family I've seen and been involved in my share of them. They are quite a sight to behold.

Sorry to hear it, that sucks. I was served once on my front porch in front of all the neighbors and in the presence of a friend of the family who was on the front porch with me. (of course, that was after I made the first serve and this was simply a return volley)

[soapbox]

I'm not sure that any offense was taken, but sometimes it is best just to be on the safe side. Anytime things start to escalate, even in good fun, it is very easy for one person in the group to cross the line and then the whole thing goes down the drain.

The substance of this thought is similar to a PM I sent to Rich earlier today. It's not like any line had been crossed, but...there's no sense letting it get there.


In fact I know I made an earlier post in this thread asking you guys to hold the door for us at 5000. So it's good to see everyone is willing to get along and we can stand safely away from the edge.

:lol:

edit: getting a little worried, I ordered something on ebay 8 days ago and it still isn't here. The seller is ignoring me too. Ebay is getting annoying, this is going to be my 2nd claim this month.

I've had things take almost two weeks to show up. Hope the Shea Butter gets to you.


With some fava beans and a nice chianti?

I did a god awful job at preparing fava beans Halloween time. I watched Hannibal for the first time and decided to have fava beans and Chianti. Well... the movie was terrible and was nowhere near as good as The Silence of the Lambs. My recommendation: avoid it.


I just used the Lilac HBS that Shep sent me. It is pretty damn good. I would have to compare it to the soaps made by Joanna at TSD. They shave very similar. While being among the top small soapers out there, they are not quite on par with Colleens soaps from TGQ. I think Colleen has shave soap perfected.

Rolls - you're making me itch to try that TGQ soap. I can't wait for it to show up. I'm still looking for something in which to package the SAO cream I promised you.


First it was bunnies, now chickens. Have you all noticed an uncomfortable affinity for small animals around here. I'll tell you how I like chicken: rolled around in bread crumbs and fried up in a pan of hot oil! Oh yeah and they give us eggs too. You know how I feel about eggs.

I like chinchillas. Also, I'm craving eggs now. I just ate, so that will have to wait.


Believe it or not I may have finally satiated the monkey. I know; hard to swallow, but a guy can hope can't he?

He'll be back, Shep. He'll be back. Just keep that gun loaded with tranquilizer and you should be fine.


Tracy you really need to purchase a tub of TOBS from WCS or elsewhere. It's such a thick cream that it's almost soap. Fantastic shave and scents. It's pretty much the Tabac of creams I think. Though I do get a really nice shave from the Body Shop cream too. A tie maybe...

I have yet to use the Body Shop Cream. I think I'll pick up some of the old stuff at that after Christmas sale Rolls was talking about. Does anyone have experience with their new cream?

TOBS creams are really great stuff. I have rose, almond, and samples of avocado and Mr. Taylor. I will always keep a tub of rose, a tub of almond, and some Salters on hand from now on (and a puck of Tabac, of course). TOBS, Salters, and Tabac are my top three. I'd like to know what you think about TOBS compared to Salters, Shep.


Of course ... I could just merge the two threads ... :sneaky2:

That would be like mixing apples and oranges.


I'm pretty pissed off that she sent someone to my work. That's about the only part that bothers me.

Sorry to hear about the situation, Ryan.

Do perfume counters at the mall have these things or can one buy them somewhere? I had a whole mess of these things and then threw them away. Stupid. Shoulda saved em.

Locally... hmmm... when I needed to send you samples, I went into Sephora and just asked for some containers and they gave me a handful. There's a Container Store (they're a little expensive, but good in a pinch) around my parts - I don't think there are any near you, though. REI and EMS sometimes carry containers, too.

Your best bet for a few containers would probably be to ask at Sephora.

For reference, I get my containers, vials, and bottles from www.specialtybottle.com

I'll be placing another order with them soon as I'm completely out of containers.

Honestly, I was quite unaware of the turn the rivalry took as well. I was away from my computer all of yesterday and all of the night before and was surprised to see what I saw when I came back. I'm glad no actual hostilities came out of it.

[Gruder]

James Carter (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000676/): I don't like my chickens alive, I like 'em dead and deep fried. You ever heard of Popeye's?

Actually, I prefer the fried chicken of my homeland... (Last night was Bojangles, though.)


You are very close to me, friend.

Oh, don't think I didn't contemplate renting a car and coming to pick up those wiper blades!


I just got served. Finally.

Another reason I should've rented that car. At least things are moving -- hopefully you take small comfort in that. Hang in there.


I keep hearing mixed reviews on that Avacado. The only TOBS I've used is this Eton College, and I really like it as we've discussed.

I liked Eton well, liked St. James better, and got the best shave from avocado. I really think you should head there next (if you're not shopping for a while, let me know -- I might could scrounge up a sample container to send your way).

I did score a reservation at Bourbon and Branch on Saturday night, so as least there's that to look forward to.

Dom, your package should be arriving shortly, and there is alot more than just the soap from TGQ to try............

BTW. It has come to my attention that some of you do not know about TGQ. Do a search on the forums for the name Colleen. There are posts by some of the founders of B&B (Suzuki, Joel, and a few others) that say that TGQ's soaps are the best small vendor product on the market. I would have to agree. Colleens soaps are the only glycerine soap (they are actually a glycerine/goat milk/multi-clay based soap) that for me rivals some of the high end triple milled soaps performance wise.

Check them out HERE!! (http://www.thegentlemensquarter.com/shaving.htm) She does not have hundred of flavors like some other soapers, but he soaps and cream are vastly superior to the competition in regards to performance.

good morning guys. how is everybody?

the whole way to work I could see my breath... IN MY CAR. Maybe I should get the heat fixed. Alphonse (the car) also developed a new weird squeak. whenever I'm breaking, stopped or starting after a stop he makes a whiny squeak, it kind of sounds like when somebody pushes a rusty wheelbarrow.

My dad knows a lot about cars, him and my uncle actually removed the transmission I ruined and installed the rebuilt one themselves in my garage. I'll have to tell my dad about this.

space is good, but without addressing the issue, it will still be there, but there are exceptions...
me and my dad are so much alike, we can't be around each other for days at a time...a day or two, or specific events, absolutely great, but living with anymore, gets two stressful with two similar personalities there...I hope that's your case, but I remember reading back that there's more to it


Actually, I prefer the fried chicken of my homeland... (Last night was Bojangles, though.)
I've never had Popeyes, either, just quoting that line from Rush Hour 2, seemed fitting...on that note, I've never tried Bojangles either, not one anywhere near me, though I'm interested in trying it, John Boy and Billy mention them alot (often times paid, I'm sure, but there have been a couple times that weren't part of an ad)




Tonight has been a big stressful mess, goodnight everybody.

Shouldn't be too bad to replace the thermostat. More time consuming than hard. Next time you needs parts let me know. I will find someone, reputable, in your area. NY has loads of auto recyclers. I wouldn't buy a used thermostat--go new. Some parts like water pumps, thermostats, brake pads, etc should be purchased new.

yes, you did skim...
shaking because of rebuilt transmission
thermostat because she watched the lyrics of the song she was singing

[Unit 91]

That could be. Is there a squeek involved from the motor? Miles? Need more info.

Rebuilt transmissions can be fine. I would doubt the tranny is causing the shake. More likey some other component or something unrelated. Could be wheel balance, axle, etc.

I was just thinking about something - I'm fairly young, but I have over 15yrs experience. That seems rediculous. Even more if you consider building motors at 11 or so. That's crazy to me. I used to hear adults say 15, 20 years experience and thought they might be dead soon. Just the random musings of a tired Unit on a Thursday in November.

I am officially hopelessly crazy. Today I spoke to a counselor about signing up for classes tomorrow. Well since tomorrow some classes might be full I have 4 different schedules made out and ranked in the order that I like them. Each one has several possible substitutions in case their first choices are full (also ranked) and then one class has a catch all substitution for it's substitution because the sub class might be full too. They all have all the reg #s written on them, checked twice and looked over one last time just to be careful. (I should also mention I've been working on this since 10AM)

I am officially hopelessly crazy. Today I spoke to a counselor about signing up for classes tomorrow. Well since tomorrow some classes might be full I have 4 different schedules made out and ranked in the order that I like them.

Just remember not to take anything too early in the morning. You need to have plenty of time for shaving.

actually I'm more of a night person, my highest ranked potential schedule has me out of class by 3 PM every day and Tuesday it will have me out at 10:30AM

[lamontqsanford]

My senior year in college was great. I had worked my but off and then got to sit back and enjoy my last year of college. Took the minimum required classes because that is all I need to graduate. M-W-F first class started at 11, Tues-Thurs my only class started at 1. Really worked well for my partying schedule.

there will be very little partying time in this schedule, I don't even think I have any eating time factored in. My chem class also has a 5 hour lab on top of it's 3 hour a week lecture (the chem is the catch all sub for the sub so hopefully I won't have it this semester).

Who in the HØĿ¥.ħëċќ ever thought it'd be a good idea to set up a computer so that the system drive would be anything other than "C:\" ??? I just got finished reloading windows onto a system only to find that it considers F:\ to be the main drive.

ummm, I guess the answer would be you? :biggrin::rolleyes:
make sure there aren't any other partitions would be my main guess at this point

I did have a similar issue when I setup my old work laptop to dual boot with ubuntu, ubuntu was F:\, though

[micah1_8]

These are old dells donated from the college a while back... they've got zip drives installed, and from what I can tell, the zip demands C:\

quite frustrating!


Of course, it's not a simple fix in windows xp... gotta go in and monkey with the registry and probably reinstall before it's all said and done...

Welcome back Micah and Cory; we've missed your nutty flavor around here.

Jen, always build in time for partying and eating. Your young and it doesn't last. Enjoy.

Dom, I need to use the Salters one more time. The first shave was with a slightly less than stellar blade. I would lean towards the TOBS as of this writing, but I need more tests. I'm also considering revisiting my Merkur long handle. I think the razor is beautiful, but I just never got the hang of it's goofy angle and my shaves never seemed quite as good as with the SS. Now that I have a few months under my belt, I'm thinking I need to give it another go. I've also been giving some thought to a slant. My whisker growth under the chin requires a fair amount of J-hooking. I'm told the slant replaces that need. Any thoughts on this?

Gonna go do the shopping for Turkey day this weekend. Can't wait. I love the eats on T-Giving. Also gonna buy the makings for party mix. I gotta have some.

Get the slant I think you will like it. I used to have to take 6 passes plus touchups with SS, slim, fatboy, old style gillettes. Got the slant and no more razor burn, no more weepers and 3 passes with a light touchup and no J-hooking. They aren't the deamons everyone makes them out to be.

Is there some different technique to holding the slant? Do you hold it at an angle (I don't mean blade to face angle) or is the concept the same as any other regular DE?

I look forward to hearing your final verdict. For one, I haven't ever used a slant. Additionally, I haven't shaved my chin in years (goatee), so I can't give any insight on the situation. I will admit to being curious about how the slants shave, though.

I wear pants all the time in the winter but try rubbing a really soft piece of fabric across your face right after you shaved and moisturized. That is how my legs feel all day when I'm BBS, it is a nice feeling.

[Rollsshaver]

Thanks for the info Rolls. Looks like some good stuff, my order is being built now. Can you melt these down to fit into containers?

Being a glycerine/goat milk/clay base, these are better if you can grate them instead of melting them. When you melt any clay soap, you have to stir them very well while they are setting up or the clays will not stay suspended. Grating is always better anyway.

Same concept but you don't want to use any pressure. Let the weight of the razor do it all. I hold it at the base, like a dart (thanks Mantic). I keep it steady and light and I get the best shaves.

My son tells me that his wife shaves everything below the waist with a Ladies Gillette w/ Crystal blades. She even uses a badger brush and the rose cream from AOS. That just proves again that women are a bit nuttier than men. Of course, women are much steadier, more patient, more tolerant of pain, more emotionaly stable, and pretty much better at alot of things than men are. Trust me boys, I am old and have been around many women. It is hard for us to admit it, but we suck.

They have a longer handle and a narrow blade gap which makes for a veery forgiving shaver. They also came in pretty colors with little stars on the handles!!

The emotional stability of women is what makes them able to be mothers. Most men fall to pieces when thier kids are hurt or severely ill. That leaves the woman to pick up the slack. Plus, they have the damn kids too. That in itself is testament enough to how tough women can be.

In that sense of emotionally stable I have to agree with you, but in situations involving other people, death, cute things, and 6 days of the month we are not nearly as stable as you guys are.

[sol92258]

Yay, quittin' time, boys and girl!
Got a mini lathe in the trunk, waiting on a delivery...
as to emotional stability, women are more emotional, and express it more than men, both good and bad. They're better nurturers, but also more "aww, the mean, evil, deadly spider has a cold, poor thing" and cry...okay, I exagerate, and it's a general rule and certainly doesn't apply to all women...but, it just shows that God's design for relationships is right, a home needs a man and woman, fulfilling their roles, to be the complete image of God, since His Word says He created man and woman in His image
That sentence represents my beliefs and convictions, if yours differ, that's fine, I didn't post it to change your mind, just the share my belief. Take it or leave. But don't be offended by it, please.
but yes, women emote better, and on a wider range, than men, which means their lows are lower and highs are higher, but they tend to be lead by emotions more than men

I'm still on the disagree side of the fence.

At this point in your life, you're completely allowed that sentiment. I am a little on the fence too. More stable in the face of a little 5-month-old projectile vomiting because she's been swallowing mucus from her cold -- yes (this recently happened and I freaked out and my daughter wasn't even puking on me). More emotionally stable across the board...debatable. People are people. It's unfair to lump all people into one category by gender.

Hey Dom. We have a Sephora right around the corner from my house. Gave a call and they have samples available. If I buy the wife some makeup maybe they'll just give me a few bottles sans fluids in them. If not I'll take some real samples from them and clean the vials w/ vinegar and water. We're in business. Give me through the weekend, and I'll get your sample out. You too Tracy.

Oh yeah, we also have a Container store here but it's about 40 miles worth of awful traffic away from me so forget that!

Hey people. How goes this fair night?

[Eagle]

Not much going on tonight Prof. There were a bunch of chatty Kathys here this a.m., but nuthin now. Just us mice.

[profsaffel]

Seems I always miss out on the big conversations. *sighs*

On another note, I'm now in possession of the Tabac Stick. I look forward to trying it tomorrow. I'll provide an update then. I'm also scheduled to see Quantum of Solace tomorrow night with the old man. Should be an interesting night. :001_rolle

I hate c++ I had a physics test this morning and now I am doing c++ labs at Barnes and Noble. /sad

[Eagle]

If you get a c++ does that mean you are really, really average???


:biggrin:

[lamontqsanford]

WWWWWHHHHHAAAAASSSS UUUUUUPPPPPPP TATer's. Had to get the son ready for bed. He was rather busy tonight.

Eagle, what is this container store I hear all of you talk about?

Prof. make sure you give us the thorough review of Quantum of Solice. I can't wait to see that movie.

[Eagle]

Dom brought it to my attention. Turns out they have B&M's as well as an online presence.

Quick Tip: Burt's Bees and a disposable make for a horribly pissed off face.

[Eagle]

I keep seeing people talking about Burts Bees shaving cream, AS and so on. All I ever see are their lotions, balms and lip stuff. Where are you guys finding the shave related BB products?

[Unit 91]

You can find it in your mailbox if you PM me your address. I hate the stuff, personally.

:lol::lol:

Thanks but I think I'll pass. I saw another thread where somebody said it's a brushless cream. I have no interest in that. I was just curious where folks are finding their shave stuff. The AS could be promising...maybe.

[Unit 91]

YOU WILL TAKE IT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT THEN YOU WILL SAY THANK YOU!!!!

Please?

It is brushless and smells terrible. The AS is just as awful smelling. I'm obviously a great salesman.

Yeah, will do. I've always been a Bond fan and to see one in the theater is a treat. Speaking of treats... I'll be back later.

[gatto]

wow, falling all over yourself to give shaving stuff away, I never thought I'd see that here :lol::lol::lol:

In other news Col conk amber soap is awesome

Oh. In that case. I'll take two!

For legs maybe. And softer whisker gents. I really tried to like the Conk. While I don't hate it and I do recommend people at least give it a try because it's so cheap, it just doesn't perform as well as others on me.

In other news did you de-shrivel yourself after the 2 hour shower? Bet that took a 1/4 bottle of shea butter didn't it!?!

I'm sorry it doesn't work out for you. I really don't need too much in the way of performance from my soaps. If it makes thick yummy smelling lather that won't make my blade skip then I am content. I always seem to get a great shave with my razor except that one time I used a red pack personna I threw the whole pack out out after one shave.

I used this awesome moisturizer after my shower and I am not all shriveled :lol: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.A74740.desc.philosophy-memory-gift-set-3-in-1-shower-gel-and-body-cream I got it for free with a previous order at philosophy. Unfortunately it is impossible to get any other way except with their bath gel which I don't want (because I already have all of their yummy cookie scented bath gels)
