So I'm getting hitched in October and as a wet shaver who's constantly trying to convert others, I've been contemplating putting starter kits together for my groomsmen gifts. I had been throwing a few ideas around but was inspired when I found this: http://imgur.com/a/2GJyM I would love to do...

Well, time (and post counts) sure does fly on B&B when you're having fun. I've been astounded by the generosity and gentlemanliness on this site since day one. Finding B&B for the first time was a revelation and a rather odd journey spurred by a combination of a desire to find an “old-time”...

I went back about 6 pages. Couldn't find a Post listing substitutions for Colognes/EDT'S all in one place. Thought it a good idea... though probably here somewhere. I compiled a small list of smell - alikes, but please add to it if you have something good. Ted Lapidus Black Soul = 1 Million...

the spread: I found some empty cigar boxes to use as gift boxes. The shaving kit came with a brush, bowl and shaving soap. Not the highest quality stuff out there but good enough to get them started.

Gillette Company History Geek Out
Thread Starter: MacDaddySpawned out of a line of investigation originally started in this other thread, I'm starting up this thread for anyone who wants to help untangle elements of the who, what, where, when, and why of the early days of the Gillette Safety Razor Company -- one of the first things I'd like to sort out is...
