Oh come on, like I would pick something else for the inaugural discussion! :biggrin1: Latakia. Love it? Hate it? Indifferent? Yet to smoke it and want a recommendation? Post any and all thoughts! This will be a free-flowing discussion, so feel free to veer off on any tangents you like....

Hi gents! Been a while since my last update from the garage! I thought I'd share with you the latest stuff to emerge from the wood shavings :) I've been experimenting with some new techniques, inspired here and there by some of the work of you fine folks here and elsewhere. This first...

I figure this title will be more annoying to those already perplexed by the numerous pu'er threads floating around. If you'd like, I can always change it to "Tea time with Toodlepip". :001_rolle 9/25 '07 Xi Zhi Hao 8582 6g, 140ml yixing- 15s, 15s, 25s, 40s, 50s, that's all, folks. This was...

F*ck $hit A$$ Anyone here not know what the above means? I know I can't write the "F" word here, so is it ok for me to post a picture of that word in text on a sign or label? Since I can't write the "F" word, can I just post a picture of two people copulating? I know we've talked about...

Hello folks, My name is Karl, although I'm new to the forum I have been enjoying the finer points of the traditional wet shaving revival since 2010 and I haven't looked back since.

I'm still gutted that I missed this one, because I've never seen this Gillette being discussed nor documented anywhere. It's a Gillette Techmatic DE Razor set, yes a Techmatic that is a DE!!! To me it looks like a prototype that was never sold outside but was given to few Gillette executives for...

Just wondering if anyone that suffers from ingrown hairs has found a brush that helps prevent them? I'm thinking a firmer brush would lift the hairs up better? I have a EJ Best Badger brush along with an Omega 48 and both seem very nice, but I'm only a little over 6 months into DE shaving and...

A few of us started teasing Krona Kruiser on this thread about giving up his latest purchase to those of us that truly love Open Combs...so out of just having some fun here on B&B, we formed the Brotherhood of the Open comb. What is this crazy Brotherhood you ask? First and foremost, it is a...

So, I found my grandpa's old pipe the other day, and I'd like to fix 'er up a little. I've been reading up on the salt/alcohol method to clean it out, so I'll start with that. It has a clear finish that's chipped up, and I'd like to get that off, too. Should I sand it off, or is there a better way...

Walking the Razor's Edge - Knowing When to Change Blades
Thread Starter: scoranJust saw a good post about having a strict system for blade changing, but I'm more of a go-by-feel kind of guy. What are your tried-and-true techniques for knowing when a blade is past its prime? Especially when you are trying out new blades?
