Instead of a baseball cap!
I have both a record-player (and all--ALL--of my old albums--including all of Herb Alpert's and Sergio Mendes, and the Beatles) along with an 8 track record-playback unit that I bought back in the 70's to make custom eight tracks for my car. And I still have the box of the custom eight tracks I... -

Michaelson--FYI, here's a great CD you should consider. A bit off the topic, but in the vicinity Only one or two were made of the great female ragtime composers: http://www.vanguardrecords.com/1570/79402.html -

I don't know for sure, but it looks like it is. Mine has the plastic knob and extra blades. The one I described seems like more of the "old school" double-edge.- Paladin

How to reattach the bosalino elastic wind guard?
The decorative wind string makes sense. I haven't found any stitching on them to the crown on any of my modern Borsalinos. I've kept the one on my Borsa with the thin ribbon tightened on the crown by pulling the button as you describe. I'm sure it's not enough, though, because I can't place... -

How to reattach the bosalino elastic wind guard?
Art--I'm trying to picture this with my Borsalino--it's got a very narrow ribbon around the crown, not a normal wide one. The elasticized "wind string" (is that what it's called?) is loose around the crown. I'm wondering where it would fit under such a narrow ribbon. On my other Borsas I now... -

How to reattach the bosalino elastic wind guard?
I have a Borsalino that has this "wind string" that's been loose since I bought it some years ago. I've always wondered what it actually was. Can you provide further info on what it does and am I better off having a hatter re-attach or try doing it myself? Thanks. -

Why is the ribbon on the left?
Very interesting story. I wonder if you could find a photo to post of a Cavanaugh edge? How common would one be on Borsalino? Here's a little history story--not about hats, but about wigs: As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice a year! (May and October) Women... -

Louisberry, The Floris razor is a basic handle. It isn't sold as a Persian Jug, but I describe it as that because it matches the Simpson Persian Jug-handled brush. Here is what I'm referring to...- Paladin

The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...
Canadave--BTW, an electric razor is like using a weed-eater to pull hair out of your face. No electric razor can do the job of hot steel and lather. It's a shortcut, but just doesn't come close to what you can do with your own fingers and technique. And I forgot to mention--aftershave or...- Paladin

4. c) Bladework continued..... Okay, you've down your first pass at your face, the north/south. Lather up your face again, recharging your brush with "firewater" when you need it. Your next blade-run is at a 45 degree angle DOWN from your ear, to the center of your face. This downward 45...- Paladin

All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
Havershaw--The reason you see so many men in the old movies wear their hats in their cars is because they didn't have the safety head-rests back then. It's so annoying to have a head-rest that can't be removed, so you can't wear your hat. I used to drive a Lexus SUV and you could remove the... -

Great memories, Michaelson....I owe that movie to my collection of Scott Joplin and other ragtime artists. Do you have the female ragtime artists? Great album. Yes, that movie inspired my interest in ragtime, fedoras and the like. That and of course "The Untouchables" with Robert Stack back... -

And hat-wearing will bring back tub-bathing as well. No more of those overly-modern showers. Back to soaking in a tub with a cigar and a beer. Your wife can join you too--but only if she brings her own cigar and beer. -

I used to wear the Gatsby cap in the early '70's while at college. Very popular then. I bought one in Dublin about 6-7 yrs ago too--wasn't planning to wear it since it wasn't back in style yet, but couldn't pass up a real Irish tweed cap. It does look great with a bomber jacket. Remember... -

All You Need to Know About Hat Etiquette
Since we're reiterating ideas here, I would stick with taking my hat, turning it upside down on the crown and sliding it in under my chair, if it has the room under it. Fedora or western. It keeps the hat close to you (closer than anything other than wearing it, right under you), it protects... -

He believes in the ultimate sacrifice, his life for another. He could have just as easily lost his own. Another thing he believes in is this..... A...- Paladin
