SWMBO has gotten into the gin big time, so I've gone for a ratio of about 3:1 (3 gins for every bottle of rum I buy for myself). She loves a Hendricks with cucumber or with tonic (hard to get good...

It's now also available from Beauty Encounter, which means no need to rely on either the kindness of strangers or getting yourself CONUS:

Then how do we explain mainstream western religion, especially Christianity, which by your own definitions, are founded on mysticism? Body of Christ? Resurrection? Immaculate conception? Really!

To assert that taking exception is an overreaction is highly judgmental.

I have to take exception to that. Firstly, yoga is now massively mainstream and experiencing phenomenal growth. http://www.statisticbrain.com/yoga-statistics/ and...

Yep, I'm that guy. It's like painting the Sydney Harbour Bridge - as soon as I finish my 4th pass, I need to start shaving again.

Definite +1 for me on this. Having to deal with lunatics masquerading as managers over 2 consecutive jobs caused me all sorts of issues. Joint pains, migraines, panic attacks, spontaneous nose...

It'd be a shot or 2 of spirit. My recollection of the theory was (and I am no expert and could all be mumbo jumbo): a normal headache is a dilation of of blood vessels in the brain, but a migraine...

I had a run of migraines in my early 30s, not as serious as the OP's, but bad enough to be distracting. My GP said people sometimes get them when there is a hot northerly wind (in the northern...

The Veg.

Yes, I just started mine last week. It works fine as a deodorant but like many L'O products, it's expensive for what it is.

Just out of interest, does anyone know if the Rouge was reformulated when Givenchy updated the bottle shape from the deco-style oblong to the more rounded squat form?

I've never been to Perth or WA for that matter, but from what I hear from colleagues who have gone there, prices for everything are ridiculous (thank you, mining boom).

I can't help you directly...

It's good stuff. Will disperse the crowd at a stadium. Layer it on top of the Veg for a truly eliminating experience.

In 03, I built a custom XP machine with a Pentium Prescott. Thing ran hotter than a Saab Turbo. Over the ten years I ran it, I blew 1 HDD, 1 PSU and 1 VGA, and upgraded the RAM. It was the most...

I'm surprised no one's said their favourite part is online shopping for more product and reading posts here to be enabled...

Did you change toothpaste or mouthwash recently? See my post where I speculate on this http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/337498-Allergies-and-apparent-razor-burn

Of those you mentioned, I've only used the Vitos so far (the others are waiting their turn). I have days where I think it makes a positive difference as a pre-shave, but often it just clogs the...

Good question, especially since there are a number of products out there that are specifically pre AND post shave products (the much-loved Proraso being one of them).

How can a product be both...

I am not in as I already have these blades and rate them highly. Just sayin'.

Thanks Jimbob.

Not to invalidate your experience in any way, what I chanced upon was the realisation that the external reaction was due to intra-oral allergens.

In other words: I was blaming...

Gentlemen,

For my 500th post, I thought I would submit my amateur findings in relation to various conditions observed in relation to my shaving which I may have hereinbefore erroneously blamed on...

Try Barclay Crocker - they say they ship internationally and don't say anything about alcohol restrictions. I haven't shopped there before so I'm only going off what they represent on the site. For...

Is it really oil in the whiskey? I've heard that they sometimes put glycerin into spirits (for added "mouth feel"). I've no idea. I've never distilled anything so really wouldn't know.

I read that somewhere too, but it was about something called the Wee Scot Nano (or similar IIRC). It's even smaller than the standard Wee Scot.

I got a Wee Scott a few months ago, and it's...

I'm not mad about the cologne, it's too weak for my liking. Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely scent but it's subtle and I prefer bold.

The bath house facial scrub is outstanding.

I PIFed...

Up: DIY humidors
Down: hipsters (that is all)

I'm that guy. Literally my beard is regrowing by the time I have completed my last pass. It's a wonder I ever leave the bathroom.

What we are acquiring is experiences, not product. The product is merely an avenue to the experiences. The products have qualities which are perceived internally and remembered. That is what we...

OMG that's a huge bloom. You sure that's not really 2 Siamese brushes joined at the knot?

8-passes just isn't enough some days...

Damn, I saw a HIPSTER today in the physio's waiting room. He had the full duck's-arse haircut, revolting beard and those black-ring earring hole things like this (I'm too disturbed to even work out...

Am I really the only one who thinks these are the worst blades ever?

Mind you, after recent experience, the GSBs aren't much better, First shave is pretty good, after that they're as good/bad...

Bad blades *do* happen, but given your technique history (which parallels mine to some extent), I'd suggest working on your technique and lather-application before drawing any conclusions about the...

Gilette Silver Blues also sometimes get mentioned in the same breath, but for me they don't work.

I love the Polsilvers, SIs, etc. I've recently been trying the SuperMax Platinums, and whilst...

Ain't that the truth! I possibly have more product than me, my son, my daughter, and their as-yet-to-be-anticipated descendants could ever use. But they'll all thank me for having the foresight to...

It's a great question. I probably get it all wrong, but I think the 2 factors are "scent" and "sensation", and contrasting them. So for me, this means:

Summer/hot days: Proraso menthol, and the...

I probably went about things the wrong way, but have landed at WTG, XTG, ATGx2 and then a buff/touch-up. It seems excessive, but it gets me a very good shave.

I *can* get a DFS (sometimes BBS)...

OK, here's one. Do car dealerships actually make any money on new cars? Reason I ask is just about every dealership I've visited in Melbourne claims to make doughnut holes on every new car sold. I...

Ah, the good old hurl-catcher.
