Welcome aboard, rifleman. Give the DE a chance and you will never go back.

Welcome, Rifleman! Sam's been giving interesting advice for a long time, and he did a good job of describing us. I particularly liked how he slipped in a reference to his shaving shelf when describing the back of a component.

Step right up, make yourselves at home.

Hi Guys,

Yes, Sam Tellig's column mentioned Badger & Blade and his favorite ShaveMac brush and Merkur 38C "Barber Pole" razor, among other things. I have been a wet shaver for years, but never to this extent! I'm 38, and I was really fed up with the cans of goo (hate 'em) and 25-blade vibrating razors with big refill price tags, so Sam's column really struck a chord with me. That Stereophile column is why I joined B&B, and I'm really glad I did, I'm learning so much!

I've jettisoned the goo, got myself set up with a new Ed Jagger Best Badger Brush, a tube of Proraso (YAYYYY!!!), a bunch of other real shaving creme samples, a puck of Van Der Hagen Select, and started using aftershave again (Pinaud Clubman, Brut A/S Balm, Gillette A/S, looking at some new ones

).

I'm still using my Fusion razor untill the cartridges run out, but I've already got my eyes on a Merkur 38C, and I called my mom to see if she kept my dad's (deceased) old Gillette. I remember him shaving with it when I was a kid, but I'm not exactly sure what model it is. My guess is a SuperSpeed.... NONE of this would have happened before that column and my visit to B&B!!!

Now I've even started a thread to chronicle my journey, I'm visiting B&B every day, watching Mantic on YouTube, coveting new shave gear, and I even started reading up on METHOD SHAVING!!

Woah - the pen really is mightier than the sword - but not as sharp as a FEATHER!!!

Welcome guys! Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome Stereophile readers!

I was wondering if anyone could scan the page where we're mentioned? I stopped by my local B&N today, but they didn't have the mag. I'd love to see it.

Welcome to B&B! That's the sort of thing we love to see.

**Spatterdash** · 03-11-2009, 09:54 AM

We were written up in Stereophile?

Wow, nice!

I remember just a few months back when new members were brought here gagged and weeping at gunpoint while large men in fuzzy badger costumes poured Pinaud Clubman on us while asking "Does it burn?" in really high-pitched voices...

**papasmurf** · 03-11-2009, 11:43 AM

does any one have this issue ?

If so please scan it so the rest of us could see it

Doesn't B&B have a policy about respecting intellectual property?

**Nick** · 03-11-2009, 09:39 PM

It's my understanding that this month's print issue will be available online once next month's is released. I know it's a long wait, but it's probably best that we wait for it to be released online.

If you really want to read the article (it's pretty good), you can always call up your local bookstore and see if they carry Stereophile.

I always said these are two hobbies that go hand in hand.

Bonus points for identifying the radio station.

I saw a few requests for a posting of Sam's article. I scanned the article into a pdf and attempted to post it, but received a message that the file size is too large for posting here. Since this is a shaving forum, not a computer forum, and I know even less about computers than I do about DE shaving (I started wet shaving about two weeks ago after reading the article in the magazine) if anyone knows how to resize a .pdf, I would be happy to email it to you for resizing and posting. Just let me know and thanks for a great site.

It broadcasts from the top of the Empire State Building so it must be good.
