What's the significance of your avatar on B&B?

Probably the wrong section to ask this question(sorry moderators!) but reading threads you can't help but find your self interested in posters avatars(their pictures next to their names when posting). So i was just curious, why did you chose your avatar? and what is it? Is there any reason...

My Guess... 3017

Over the course of the last year I have been concentrating on using and finishing product. I have been going through aftershaves, colognes and shaving creams and sold off most of the excess. But the soaps... well, I just like them all and don't want to unload them. Over the last several months I...

Vintage Omega watches

Kind of a vague question, but being fairly new to the watch circuit, I'm really digging the vintage Omegas. I kick myself daily for having not picked up one that was for sale on here a few years ago. With that said, where do most of you guys find vintage watches like that? I have no idea what to...

Klar Kabinett NOT Discontinued!

I just got word from Kevin at WCS and he said that Klar Kabinett is not discontinued! He also stated that they (WCS) has it on order and will be selling it again once it is in stock. This is excellent news and the world is now a happier place.

Allergy Like Reaction to Eucalyptus Products?

I've noticed as of late when I used eucalyptus based products, I get a sniffly, sneezy, watery eye reaction for a little bit afterwards. Its not severe, but annoying. Currently I have and used Razorock 888 soap, AS Lotion, S. Maria cream and TFS Freschezza Polare soap. Doesn't seem to matter...

I bought a Kitayama 8K water stone. Should I still buy a 12k stone?

Turning heads at work

While in Buffalo over the weekend, I picked up a bow tie at Macy's for $18 (after 60% discount; sweet). SWMBO bought it for me to "hush me up" but never expected that I would actually wear it. :tongue_sm Had fun last night trying to tie it, but gave it another shot this morning and Badda-Bing...

Would It Be A Crime To Unhorse This Brush?

I have this Bullgoose 2012 Vie Long natural horsehair brush. Love the handle, hate the knot. It creates a good lather, but it is downright pokey, like needles. I'm anything but a sensitive skin guy, but this is ridiculous. It has over a dozen shaves on it that I can count, and being a full time...

Super-Max Platinums - Astra SP alternative

I reached into a bag of sampler blades I received a while ago... and pulled out a Super-Max Platinum that was one of the blades that the sampler had the most of. For some reason I avoided trying one, and included a number of these in Toothpick's blade exchange. Mistake... The blade is...
