    Feeling "proper"

    Thread Starter: Bowtie2Bimmer

    Good Morning Gents This morning I am getting ready to go to a wedding of a very good friend of 12 years. My slacks and shirt are nicely pressed. I am about to shave using my 31 Goodwill. I will don a bow tie... a proper bow tie, tied by me. And for whatever reason I feel very nostalgic. Very...

    My recent foray into artisan soaps

    What should I do with this razor to get myself set up?

    Thread Starter: BarbaGnosa

    Five months into double edge shaving, I just picked up a Bismarck Registered straight razor at a flea market today for $15. I've been working my way up to exploring straight razors, and there it was, looking as if it just might be a diamond in the rough, under all that gunk and rust, and probably...

    Artisan Soap- which one to try first

    Thread Starter: TheKillingJoke

    In keeping up with my SAD, I've been looking to get a few artisan soaps in the mix. I'm currently looking at Strop Shoppe, the Holy Black Company, Mystic Waters and Mike's. Due to budget concerns, I have to stick to one first, the question now is which one? Any advice would be helpful.
