I have a full beard, but still have to do the neck and cheek thing. I use a 1955 Gillette "Super-Speed" with some Wilkinson Blades I got from somewhere. (do not remember where) I use an Italian badger brush, have Williams Soap in the mug, a tube of Gillette Brushless, (which unfortunately they...

re: black leather I have been riding for 50 years, on the street since 1967. My jackets have always been black up till recently when I bought a brown one. I simply got tired of "looking like everyone else." I still have my Brooks 511 that is 31 years old, I have two "vented racers" a black...

1087: Try Brooks Leather in Michigan. I have their 511 that I bought in 1979, still going strong, although it is semi retired until either I shrink, or it stretches. They make a "Brando" style,(#711) a bit more modern than the Few, but a good jacket none the less. Unless someone else has...

Tomasso: thank you, but I do not wear hats except on the weekend. (work part time, have to wear a uniform with a stupid trucker hat that doesn't fit right, so I wear no hat) On weekends, depending on what I am doing, either a Beret (Veterans stuff) a leather Ascot worn backwards, (biker stuff)...

Lloyd: Please send an email to theehsoracle@gmail.com, I will send you the pics with the one that is registered here, (i.e., my ISP email) Thanks for all your help with this, Blessings,

yes, except it does not have the edge on the brim. The edge on the one I have is just plain,no "finish " at all, just rounded a bit. thanks.

Lloyd: I cannot post pics. Not allowed yet. If you wish, check my profile, send me an email, I will send you the pics that way, perhaps you could post them. I cannot see profiles yet either. Thanks, Blessings

I picked up a Dobbs yesterday after Church at the Goodwill. It is a 7 1/8th. Grey, feels like fur of some sort, has a tag in it that says "long oval" the brim is 1 3/4 inches and has no finishing on the edge, just rounded, the top (is that the crown?) tapers down toward the front and the back...

Picked up a copy of "The Martini: An Illustrated History of an American Classic" by Barnaby Conrad III. I am not a drinker, but the book is filled with art and pictures of the era we are all so fond of. Movie Stars, Vargas style art, clothing of the period, hats, etc. Thought someone here might...

Google "Radio repair in Michigan". Should show you a "Michigan locator", click on that, large listing of shops all over the state. Hope this helps, Blessings. Preacher (would not put the link, I do not think that is allowed, I am new here)

re: zipper Navin: Let me check my stash, I have a BUNCH of zippers from leather projects, ( I buy old beat leather items, i.e., luggage /suitbags/etc )at thrift stores to cut apart and make new "vintage" items from. My wife also is a seamstress and has a bunch. It might not be Conmar, but it...

My favorites are Williamson's Irish Breakfast, Typhoo, PG Tips. In a pinch, Lipton loose, or some English Breakfast teabags. Nothing better no matter the time of day or night than a good strong cup. Grab the SonaWare engraved aluminum teapot, dump it in loose, and let it steep almost till a...
