Hi, Fredoka: I recently switched to DE shaving with a Henson AL-13 (mild) and got the hang of using it fairly quickly. It's definitely a learned skill, but it really didn't take me long to get used to it after having gone back and forth between Mach-3's and Fusions over the years. I've found...

I bought a cape buffalo Indy jacket from US Wings a few years ago. The leather has broken in fairly quickly and conforms nicely. It is a very tough leather, but it is not stiff like a front quarter horsehide. The leather is weathering nicely over time and has a rich texture with subtle...

I was a casual fan of The Original Series and was initially hesitant about TNG but became a fan about a year into the series. I caught a TV special hosting of The Original Series' pilot episode, "The Cage", hosted by Sir Patrick Stewart which aired around late-October 1988. I believe it was...
