    who's that Panama Hat seller everyone likes & recommends?

    Thread Starter: Doc4

    I'm thinking of getting a panama hat. IIRC, there's an e-bay seller with a high reputation and low prices. Forget the guy's name. No doubt my B&B brethren can help me out.

    Shopping for a new espresso machine

    Thread Starter: RobAtSGH

    Back in 2003-ish, I bought a used Solis SL-90 for about $300. It did hearty service on my kitchen counter for about a decade before the pump seal started leaking. So, it has now gone to that great Appliance Graveyard in the Sky. While I'd love a Rancilio Silvia, I can't justify its price tag...

    Beer Bucket List: 25 Beers You Must Try

    Thread Starter: buffdaddy

    Great blurb on Coolmaterial about 25 beers that you should add to your bucket list. Was wondering if any of you have tried some of these (do they belong on their bucket list)? Also, what beers do you think should also go on this bucket list? We’re not going to say these are the 25 best...

    Semogue brush for bowl lathering soaps?

    Thread Starter: Splat_NJ

    I have a Kingsley badger brush now that I've been using for bowl lathering with Headslick. I just picked up my first soap, VDH unscented Luxury, and tried it with the Kingsley but didn't get much lather. I'm wondering if a boar brush would be the ticket so I'm looking at Semogues. I'm interested in...

    A Compromise.on Aromatics

    Thread Starter: Texican

    So after my wife being against my Englishes/Balkans, and then having her friend's children ransack my pipe collection that I was going to sell, she has taken pity on her husband and has told him that if he would like to smoke in the house, he can. But this pipe of peace (huh, get it?) comes at a...

    Anyone Else into Ultralight Backpacking?

    Thread Starter: andrew98

    I've been backpacking since I was 11 years old, mostly in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I worked in an outdoor gear shop from 2010 to 2012. Over the past couple of years, I've become interested in ultralight gear, since my knees don't really like carrying 35 pound packs anymore. I...

    The Calligraphy Thread

    Thread Starter: syngent

    Since there is a few of us getting into the wonderful world of calligraphy I thought it was time to start a thread for it.

    I must admit that I was wrong (cartridges)

    Thread Starter: johant1968

    With all the talk of Gillette cartridges being bad and overpriced, this morning I decided to get out my Atra handle, and a pack of NOS Wilkinson blades. I wanted to confirm for myself that there was nothing wrong with a cartridge shave at all. My expectation also was that I would get an effortless...
