    Not understanding any coolness factor with stubble

    Thread Starter: Ron Scott

    I believe the look is supposed to convey manliness or toughness or whatever, but guys with stubble just look like they came off a bender and need a shower and shave to me. I reflexively look in their eyes too to see if they're on something. Norelco et al even sell "stubble maintainer" electric...

    A funny thing happened while I was on the 'puter.

    Thread Starter: hawaiianstubble77

    Greetings! The funniest thing happened last night. It was late, I had just finished taking a shower, and I was checking out the various shaving tutorials. Then inspiration hit me. I just bought my very first piece of quality shaving equipment several days ago, a Col. Conk Amber Soap, and have...

    Sprats

    Anybody ever try these and have a favorite? I am a huge fan of sardines and eat a few cans of them per week for lunch. I've found some sardines canned in olive oil which I usually then pour on a salad for dressing. On a lark at an Eastern European grocery store, I picked up a tin of Old Riga...

    How old were you when you first started shaving?

    Thread Starter: Shave Snob

    I was about 13 when I first started to shave. I had a full on mustache when I was in junior high and I kept it all through high school and didn't shave it off until I was 19. I'm teh one in all the year books that looked like I was a hoodlum and went out back after class to smoke behind the...

    Clue me in on good (and cheap) knives please?

    Thread Starter: Haggises

    I'm in desperate need of some good knives, but I'm also cheap and need a good bang for the buck. Number one is a bread knife. I realized I've never had a good bread knife. Number two would be a Chef's knife. Number three I guess a paring knife. I don't need a set of steak knives or a big...

    Finding vintage shave stuff in the wild

    Thread Starter: jcblough

    Does anyone else find this more irritating than enjoyable? I've gone through 2 huge antique malls this week during lunch and found one ratty old brush - that's it.

    Tips on finding birth year?

    Thread Starter: dushea

    Hey all, I've been on the hunt for a couple weeks now for an F3 Gillette Super Adjustable. I've scoured eBay on almost an hourly basis, gone through Google searching every which way I can think of, but haven't had much luck. I know these things aren't very plentiful, but I'm curious if anyone has...

    Gotta hand it to Nancy Boy cream

    Thread Starter: Maximum Closeness

    I purchased the 2.0 oz sample of nancy boy cream and was rather disappointed my first time around whipping it up in a bowl. Today I was determined to make it work for me since Im leaving overseas for the next week. So I decided to try lathering it on my hand. The results were great and I got a...
