Some good practice is to 'shave' a balloon and a peach.

Uhhh, that's a Marine Corp base he's talking about. The Army and Marines have different protocols,,,,just sayin'( 8 yr Marine here). A Marine motioning a person thru the gate could be misconstrued ( by the casual non-obesrver) to be a salute, when in fact, it isn't. AFA Marine protocol...

That is a '49 Union tag? I have an overcoat that has the same tag in it. Do the number on it also date it? mine says 118762

I'm a master Glazier and in the construction arena, most folks like nicknames, usually where they're from, also something unique about them or whatever they prefer. So we have Montana, Utah, Brooklyn, etc., I'd be Gator( from Florida). One guy from Seattle prefers the name Scissors, a name...

well, you didn't read the whole thread, why am I not surprised? If you did, you'd see that this isn't a contest. This thread( as part of this forum) is more about the vintage shaving experience, using vintage equipment. IMO, whether you use vintage or modern equipment, the wetshaving...

Yes he does, we watch "Who wants to be a millionare" every night. The thing is, with him and John candy, et al, they have professional dressers that tells them what looks good on them. You'll never see Cedric sporting a Raiders Fedora and A2 jacket. That's my point. Besides Raiders( which...
