Exhaust for my Challenger
Thread Starter: BigFoot
I have a 2013 R/T Challenger. I want to change the exhaust on it to let it breathe a little better and give it a throaty rumble. The issue is I need to do it within a budget, SWMBO will not let me spend thousands of dollars to change everything from the headers back. I am looking for some ideas...

Smaller Portion of Klar Kabinett
Thread Starter: bassopotamus
Does anybody sell Klar Kabinett that has been broken down into smaller chunks? I got it in my head the other day that I'd like to try it, but I don't need 500 grams of any soap, let alone one I haven't tried. I guess it's cheap enough that it really doesn't matter (It's the same price as one little...

Tabac vs. ?
Thread Starter: SteveWY

Shave_rat's Just another journal
Thread Starter: Shave_Rat
So this was actually me second straight razor shave,close to the same results as the first one. Happy to report, still no nicks/cuts/weepers, and no real sign of burn, bumps, irritation. Guess I'm getting something right. Razor is a Genco, made in Geneva, NY. I'm guessing 5/8 and half hollow,...

If I May Be So Bold.A Few Tips For DE Shaving
Thread Starter: doug1066
I learned how to shave nearly forty years ago with a Schick Injector and during the 80's I left traditional DE and SE shaving for the various shaving "systems" that Gillette and Schick marketed at the time. I returned to traditional shaving a few years ago simply because after the Atra and the...
