My own shave ritual... - Immediately after shower. - A little lotion beforehand helps. Nothing special, just a decent hand lotion. - Brush, mug, soap (Williams is good, but Red Earth has some nice scents). - Gillette Mach 3. - Shave WITH the grain. (For added closeness, lather and...

I don't usually wear ties, but when I do, I almost always go without a tie clip. But one of my favorites is shaped like an old style pull-tab. It's a great conversation piece!

The Monteverdes I have write pretty well, and have a nice heft to them. Not much new overall on 110. But the area around Huntington village is in a constant state of flux.

Dang! Sorry. To the powers that be, please move as appropriate.

Anyone interested in some American Crew products? At someone's recommendation, I bought some AC Pomade. It wasn't quite what I liked. So I then tried their Fiber. Also, wasn't too enthused. They're both almost full. Make me an offer, and their yours! (To the moderators - If this post...

Just wanted to put in my $.02... They haven't been mentioned yet, but I have a couple of Monteverde fountain pens. I'd say they were "middle of the road", but I like them. Also a Waterman Etalon extra fine point which is great when small writing is called for.

Thanks!! :)

Sorry if it's been asked and answered, but I've searched, and haven't found. I keep seeing references to "COW", but I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help? Thanks!

People haven't been saying nice things about me lately, so my head hasn't gotten bigger. :p So... Can a hat shrink? If so, how to re-size it? I have a Scottish cap that I bought in Edinburough in 1977. I wore it a lot for a few years, then put it away. And now that I've taken it out of storage...

Welcome KC! Please, post pics as soon as you can!

I'm not sure, though - I forgot the name. But that looks like it. I'm not a librarian, just an engineer with a lot of useless knowledge in his head. Like, I know who Winkydink was ("Winkydink... and you, Winkydink... and me." Cartoon character. The show encouraged kids to draw on a special...
