PM sent on Lot #2!!

Welcome to B&B! Your story sounds similar to a lot of others, and congrats on a great initial setup! I will second John, and say you won't regret your decision to switch. For your mug, have you...

In order to shape this magnificence, I will be using a combination of straight and safety: Safety for the broad areas, and straight for the fine precision work.

And lo, God, Blessed be He, spoke...

Welcome! The EJ89 is a beloved razor 'round these parts, and judging by the rabid fan base, will serve you well for many many years. I will second what Eric said, watch a couple of YouTube videos on...

My friends, a mighty gauntlet has been thrown at my feet. I dare not refuse it. This challenge has been issued by God Almighty, and to not rise to the occasion would be to forever bear a mark of...

I've got a shipment from Mama Bear on the way. Two mug-size pucks of Aged Spice, a full-size Aged Spice, a mug-size Violet, and a sample of Star Anise.

I think what you mean is you want to smell like a CLASSIC man. What we tend to define as "old man" scents is what our grandfathers smelled like: Clubman, Old Spice, Irish Tweed, etc. Stuff that, now,...

Wrapping and tossing may work in the short run, but it still has to be handled by other people, either on the trash trucks or at the recycling centers. Given rust and corrosion issues, I am leery...

Welcome to B&B! AOS products are outstanding, and it looks as though you've already got a great setup there. The 34C is arguably one of the best razors out there. If you have any questions at all,...

So I checked with Sue, and the B&B code has expired. There isn't a new one. Oh well. It's so inexpensive anyways for the quality, it's not a big deal.

EDIT: The discount code has been reactivated.

So I put together an order for some Mama Bear soaps and a few samples of things I will most likely have to hide later, and the discount code wasn't working. I will still end up placing the order...

The two artisan soap makers that will always have a place in my heart and cave are QCS and Mama Bear. If you are a glycerin fan, MB is hard to beat. A lot of glycerin fans really like Honeybee, but I...

Welcome to B&B, Billy! My mother went to Paris two summers ago and loved it. She really wants to go back to visit.

The 34C is an outstanding razor, and for very good reasons. The neck area is a...

Pretty slick setup! I use an ice cream bowl my friend got me for my birthday, it actually looks very similar to yours. For only two months in, you've got more (and higher-end!) razors than I do! I'm...

PM sent on the Flair Tip!

Man, that is nice! I'd love to get some old glass AS bottles, like OS or AV. That would really put me over the moon!



I don't think I've used it and been disappointed with how it feels and...

I hate to be the one to rain on your Dungeons and Dragons game, but 'parsec' is a unit of distance, not time. "Making the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs" is a testament to Solo's flying ability rather...

Depending on how deep or shallow the discount is, you might be better off going with a Whipped Dog brush that will have a better knot for a far better price point.

That's happened to me a couple of times. When I really chew my face up I reach for NIVEA's SSASB, since it actually does a pretty good job of soothing the worst of it.

On the times I'm really...

Be kind to animals, and read a lot. Out of those two come the lion's share of what it means to be a man of quality, substance, and gentility.

How to properly carry, sharpen, and care for a knife....

I'm one of those weird guys who can't shave every day, but uses an ATG touch-up pass. I haven't tried a full ATG, but just use it to take down the areas I hate having a teeny bit of leftovers. I will...

I hate to argue, but you're half-wrong. Even though everything he did is heavily classified, it is no secret that Ian Fleming worked for Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Everything that...

It doesn't look like it would affect the shave. As near as I can tell, if it drives you crazy send it back. I would have to feel it in my hand before making a determination. Looking at the picture...

The last movie I watched was Django Unchained. THAT is an awesome movie!

Pinaud Clubman ASL with a few drops of added glycerin.

If they don't notice your skin or your shave, they notice your smell. In Cambodia there aren't any quality colognes or aftershaves that most people can afford, so any quality or old-school...

I also picked other because there were too many choices. Italy for RazoRock and old-formula AOS, Turkey for ARKO, USA for MB and QCS, and India for Old Spice.



So do their men. ...

Good plan, especially before a shave. I used to use St. Ives scrub, the one with crushed and shredded apricot pits, and my face felt great UNTIL I put on a face tonic. If you still want to use a...

Wow dude, that's awesome! I'm placing an order for their full kit later today, now I'm excited like a Japanese schoolgirl in a Hello Kitty store!

The only soaps I don't do this with are croaps, like RazoRock or QCS. Boiling water from an electric kettle works like magic with ARKO and glycerin soaps. Since MWF has lanolin in it, and that's the...

I don't care, I need it anyway!

Kevan, I can't tell you how much it disgusts me that I have to agree with you. Even if creating an anniversary safety razor made them oodles of cash, Gillette will never again make something for us...

It looks scary. Someone should make a superhero out of that.

Welcome to B&B!

There's a lot of goings-on all over the place, so where to go is pretty much whatever you are interested in. A little bit more about yourself in the Hall of Fame wouldn't go amiss.

Their software is easily top-tier stuff. Unfortunately, it is now VERY expensive. I think it's a great place to go to actually handle stuff, but expect to pay an arm and a leg for any hardware....

The only LT product I've used is their AS/FT, and it works fantastically. Great smell, great efficacy. The only reason I didn't buy it again is because I have stuff that smells and works better, but...

If you feel you get better shaves with the Fusion, then I say by all means, return to it. I am inclined to agree with John, that your improved technique from using the 89, combined with quality soaps...

I almost think my wife would be happier if I was looking at porn instead of shaving stuff.



There was a commercial several years ago for Nissan like this. The husband was out driving, and he...

If you are asking what to do afterwards, I second Jon's suggestion of Neosporin. During the shave, styptic powder or styptic matches.

I do this with splashes sometimes, if I feel I need a small pick-me-up. If I am going out somewhere I may splash some more on.
