The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...
Here's my first Rolls Razor conquest, the oldest I've seen around. Probably from back when they first came out in 1927: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2258626995&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT I've never used one, but I'm bidding on one in pristine condition and will try...- Paladin

Okay, thanks for turning me on to the razors on eBay....you have now created a monster! I'm putting a full court press on a number of Rolls Razors of varying vintages. My eBay name is Paladin917 in case you check it out. Ah, the unique sound of the wallet opening in front of the eBay...- Paladin

Very nice razor and kit--and for next to nothing! But now you've turned me on to eBay shaving items. I'm going to be hovering over there to find some nice things. I'm impressed with the deal! Dave--I saw that thread before, interesting stuff.- Paladin

Very nice, Dave. I like the green handle, makes it easy to pick up the lather and apply to the face. Looks like it'll work well. Enjoy!- Paladin

Instead of a baseball cap!
Man, what a topic here...we've gone from hats to music to movies back to music then movies again. Isn't this a great forum? These topic threads are more interesting than some of the in-person conversations I have with some of my friends. It's great that some guys from different parts of the... -

Instead of a baseball cap!
As for when it was supposed to have taken place....since the first night game in professional baseball was played in 1935, and looking at the uniforms, autos and fashions, I would guess it was supposed to take place in 1936-37, around there. Hobbs also came back 16 years after the shooting... -

The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...
From your description, it doesn't sound familiar. But I bet if you do some googling, you'll come up with a chat forum on shaving tools that will tell you exactly what it is. An idea--use the brush once, to bring closure to the father/son tie. Then retire and preserve it. You'll make the...- Paladin

Dave, I couldn't open the photo, it asked for a password. But if the brush was your father's then it doesn't matter what I or anyone else think of it. It's got great history. It gave your dad a great shave, I'm sure. If it was good enough for him, I'm sure you will have no problem with it...- Paladin

Robert Prosky. A long-time very accomplished character actor. Remember when he took over as the precinct sargeant on Hill Street Blues? -

Nope, never heard of it. But that in itself doesn't mean much. Hey, if it works and feels comfortable then that's what matters. You may try an application to your face using a shaving brush. Stimulates the skin and lathers up nicely.- Paladin

Brad--If you use it on your face, you can also slick back your hair with it. MK--Stop by Taylor's of Old Bond Street on Jermyn Street in London for a shave when you're in town. I know an electric razor is the quickest method to shave. I used to own a '57 Chevy convertible and was into all...- Paladin

I was wondering if anyone had tried some of my outlined techniques. I visited Charles Roberts at Enchante on Friday and re-stocked on some of my products. He literally has gents flying in from around the country to do shaving clinics with him. I was in the shop a month ago just as someone was...- Paladin

How to reattach the bosalino elastic wind guard?
I believe someone mentioned in a previous post the way to determine the year and location of a Borsalino's manufacture by numbers in the lining or some such thing. Anyone know of that? I have a number of Borsalinos that I'd like to try that with. Your posting of the Borsalino modern history... -

Barbershop and ragtime.....two of my favorites. In my opinion, two of the four uniquely American sounds. The third and fourth--again, to me--would be Motown and Gershwin. Different sounds, but uniquely American. One regret I have (among the many) is that I never learned how to play piano...
