Quite a name indeed!

I shave in the shower - I use a fog free mirrror that I bought on Amazon. Like others have said, I soak the brush while showering (a minute of soaking is plenty), face lather, do two passes + touch...

I usually listen to the radio in the morning when I am getting ready for work - either WBGO, Newark's jazz station or to Columbia University's jazz station. It relaxes me and keeps me from applying...

Almost exclusively!

My condolences. I have been there and I know how sad it can be. Nothing like the love you get from your dog! Enjoy the memories.

AOS Sandalwood After-Shave Gel

I just ordered my jar - thanks for putting this on B&B!

I may suffer from all kinds of acquisition disorders but I'm no hoarder. I fight the urge to buy duplicates, especially difficult when the price is a real bargain (and not just shavers - I am...

I have too many soaps and creams already but if I didn't, I would be all over that DR Selby - scent is mild and it makes a nice slick and cushiony lather - I really enjoy using mine!

I just took delivery of a Noodler's rollerball pen. The unique thing about it is that it is refillable with fountain pen inks using the converter that comes with it (the ink is loaded right through...

I tried coloring but it made me look a bit like Elvis, not in a good way. I think maybe my coworkers were making fun of me as well. I decided to just let nature take its course. Whenever I see...

I normally do 3 shaves and toss the blade but with just a couple of blades (Irridium and Gillette Bleu) I find I can easily get a 4th shave out of it. SE's I toss out after 7 shaves and injectors...

Big Fellow with a Gillette Bleu Blade - day 4 - smooth but time to toss the blade.

Hey, come on fellas - whats up with the brushes???

I just shined mine up this afternoon and man they look great!

I love Arlington and I also love Lavanda, but I still have a lot of creams and I am trying to switch over to soaps - otherwise I would be all over the Lavanda. GLWTS!

I normally get three - the first a bit rough, then two good ones. After that I toss them.

I have both the long handled and short handled versions of this razor and I enjoy using both. It is nicely balanced and the anodized handle is very easy to grip (almost feels rubberized). The know...

Gentlemen's Refinery Unscented Shave Cream. However, I mixed a few drops of lavender, rosemary and peppermint essential oils into the entire pot and now it is my favorite scented cream. It really...

Ed,

Welcome to the forum! Shaving is a great hobby and B&B is a great place to meet a bunch of like minded shave enthusiasts. Keep reading and working your technique and you will soon be getting...

GEM OCMM - I have been struggling with a GEM 1912 - everyone else seems to love it but I have a hard time getting a decent shave with it (let alone getting in close under the nose), so I am going...

My vote goes to AOS - The performance is really great - slick and cushioning and the scent is sublime sandalwood.

Welcome to NYC. The minicipal water here in New York comes from a system of reservior that extends over 100 miles into rural areas north of the city and is transported down through a system of...

Proraso Red - the old formulation with wheat germ oil - nice scent and very moisturizing!!

I have the LL Bean Iron Rangers and they provide a lot of boot for the $. Plus, they come in EEE width which is fairly difficult to come by in men's boots. I am definitely satisfied - they were...

Goober,

Thank you for your service. I hope that you have a long and enjoyable retirement!!!

That last quarter turn is supposed to happen with Fatboys and Slims. I think that it just secures the blade better and locks the holder to prevent the closing mechanism from suddenly opening...

About $3,000.

I was at Pasteur's on 34th Street yesterday and I was blown away by what they had on the shelves (I have been a regular customer there for four years). I was going to pick up a bottle of Speick EDT,...

I have spent many days and nights waist high in the surf on the beaches of Long Island, Jersey and, yes, even New York City (Rockaway in Queens or on Staten Island). I have pulled in stripers,...

Personally, I feel that the least amount of conversation I have with TSA the better. I travel frequently for work and my goal is always to pass through with nothing more than a mutual "thank you". ...

I bought 15 pairs of AE's in the past 12 months (plus about 8 matching belts) - I even got a free pair for being such a frequent purchaser - everybody in the store knows me. Basically I replaced my...

Osage will always be a part of my summer contingent. Today I splashed some on my face and chest after a post work-out shave and shower - amazing. I followed up with some Trumper's Lime Skin Food. ...

It is magic stuff!!

At $8.87 I could not resist - I bought another 100.

Sunday it's The Alabama Shakes in Central Park in NYC. Gonna be rocking'!
