    New guy with questions

    Thread Starter: ClintO

    I recently decided to take more time into my appearance as I'm finally realizing I won't have a baby face forever. I feel like I just looked in the mirror the other day and noticed cavernous pores on my cheeks and terrible razor burn on my neck. Probably a gross exaggeration but eh. So I...

    Humidor PIF - 1 for a Newb, 1 for a Vet

    Thread Starter: Commander Quan

    I've got 2 humidors I am not using and it's it's time to move them. If you are a newish smoker and/or have been a B&B member less than 6 months you are eligible for Humidor #1 it's a brand new Perdomo branded 20 count humidor. It seals well, and should either get you started or give you a...

    rockviper's straight journey 2.0

    Thread Starter: rockviper

    I was using straights back in early 2011 and ended up selling them after a mishap or two. Still have the small battlescars, but that didn't deter me from wanting to eventually get back in the game. I thought it would be another 10 years or so, but then a beautiful kami came on the BST last month...

The first is a 40 year old stick of Chicman, kindly provided by Eric of barbieridifigaro, and the second was a modern stick of Erasmic with tallow bought at a Sainsbury during an trip to the UK. ...

    Thread Starter: jmak642

    Okay, so I'm about a month in to wet shaving, and I've been looking at other options for DE razors. I guess my question is, what am I getting with the razors from these companies that want double or more than I paid for my merkur barber pole? I see some have interchangeable guards, but $200+...

    Finally - A bloodless Feather shave

    Thread Starter: Howl1nWolf

    The first time I tried a Feather blade I thought I had a great first pass until my cheeks started weeping blood like the walls in The Shining. Needless to say I was hesitant to ever try them again but after a few more months of refining my technique and a much improved lather I bit the bullet and...
