Joe,

By the way. I am originally from Chicago. Born in Skokie raised on the North side then moved to Rockford. My cousin is a commodities broker on the Merc and has offered to help me get into if I decide to (I have a finance background). I have turned it down as I don't know if I want the stress. Do you enjoy trading options? I have studied futures/forwards and know that it can be pretty complicated stuff.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the comments/info on the hydrolast! I know I'll end up trying it one day...I've actually had my shopping cart loaded up to the gills a few times but just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

As for trading....never a dull moment. It can be a very rewarding experience, and definitely has its ups and downs. Trading options and/or commodities is the most volatile area of the market and can be extremely stressful. But you get used to it after a while. For me, now....its a rush.

Cheers, DJ.

Well. well. well, well, well.................

Joris has their shaving soap made in England and the HMW of Plisson isn't always looking as HMW....it looks like Plisson is following Simpsons regarding the consistency of their badger supplies......

Congrats ratch! Nice score... great looking brush!!

**crackstar** · 11-11-2006, 02:33 PM

Peter, seeing that you're in Holland also, you must know De Vergulde Hand shave soap. I have some, and I love it. Have you ever tried it, and if so, what do you think of it?

Jeff

**Jack Bauer** · 11-11-2006, 03:06 PM

Picked up some Oregon Soap Co. Tea Trea & Calendula soap and a bar of Kiss My Face pure olive oil soap.

Chris

Edit: Went on another trip and picked up:

Avalon Organics Tea Tree Shampoo
Tom's Peppermint toothpaste

Thank you!

I can't wait to shave, tonight. I think the Fresh Lime is more impressive, while the Wild Orange is more subtle. I believe I'm going for the Wild Orange.

I have to choose a blade, too. US Personna is next in the rotation, but I think I'll go for an Israeli or a Derby. Or, maybe a Feather.

Tim

**Xert** · 11-11-2006, 05:23 PM

Careful with a Feather in a Vision. Easiest way to tear up your face this side of an Artist Club.

Okay. I think I'll stick with the normal rotation and start over with the US Personna. They are always pretty gentle.

A Proraso Omega Boar

This one to wash my face with. I've been lathering my face wash and scrubbing my face with the one I already have. This way I'll have one to be used strictly for washing face, and one for shave soaps & creams.

**surprisingly** · 11-12-2006, 10:25 AM

...so I won't have to throw my Proraso away when I switch to badger? In other words, a face wash brush will be my defensive argument when SWMBO tells me I have too much shaving stuff.

Just had these delivered:

Kiss My Face: Peaceful Patchouli, Lavender and Shea, and Peaches and Creme

You could also mention that shaving brushes are investments that "hold" their value, and can be passed down to future generations.

Enjoy the KMF's

Jeff: simply: very nice indeed: lovely scent, good lubrication, good lather, low priced, available everywhere.... really perfect stuff!! (manufactured since more than 450 years...!)

Peter

**crackstar** · 11-12-2006, 02:41 PM

Peter, De Vergulde Hand is a soap that I treasure, in fact, after Erasmic, it's my second favorite. I even know what ook vor de gevoelige huid means in Dutch. It means also for sensitive skin, and believe me, this stuff treats my sensitive skin wonderful. When I lather up with it, and shave, it feels like soft, gentle kisses from my lovely wife!
