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...

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...

I bought my wife a Lodge 10 1/4 and 12 inch skillets for the wife. Is it good to put a thin coat of vegetable over them after cleaning?

B&Bers, last week was yet another fabulous showing. The SOTD is by far the best thread on this forum. And it is all because of your contributions! I'm starting off this week with a Chandler pattern welded steel blade. It was a velvet squeegee and I am a happy man!

YMMV, right? But I can't be the only one. I started DE shaving in an attempt to improve the very mediocre shaves, reduce the ingrown hairs and rash that I was getting with all the 'modern' gear. Within the first week I knew I was converted and I won't go back, so on that count, it was a complete...

I am in need of a good enough quality auto drip machine. I don't need a ton of bells and whistles, just a machine that has a timer I can set to start, and one that brews at, or close enough to proper temps. What have you got for me?

Straight Razor May
Thread Starter: Archer808I've been DE shaving for about nine months now. I purchased a straight razor on the B/S/T about five months ago and have successfully shaved with it around ten times. It has become my lazy Sunday routine (when I actually have a lazy Sunday) to straight shave. Although I was able to achieve a...
