    What do you use to shave?

    Certainly. I dunno if anyone is just curious or wants to try this but, I'd appreciate any advice, pointers, or critiques. First, on safety and precaution: One should not go whole hog on the 1st try -- do a test area with the rest done your usual way. I repeatedly break the "no showering...

    What do you use to shave?

    When using a DE razor: Nothing but hot water and the DE itself. I couldn't believe what I'd read online about not needing soaps/creams (for DE's), and had to try it. Been doing this since February and my skin is the same. I use a bit of sweet almond oil after the shave. That's it. My...

    Fountain Pens: Who uses them, and why?

    left-handed writers may find the following to be helpful In short, I am a left-handed writer and found that a fountain pen is best. In detail: Instead of a teacher with a soft spot for southpaws, all I remember was being given a worksheet with bulleted tips comparing lefties and righties. I...

    Target Target

    I wouldn't get too excited. Having a big store like that move into your town can have it's downsides. Still, enjoy it as best as you can.

    WWII Khaki Trousers - Originals and Reproductions

    So THAT's how to get'em for cheap...and now I know. I like those pants from J. Crew as well. In fact, I was working for J. Crew up until recently. Need to rebuild your wardrobe after college? BEST.IDEA.EVER.

    stunning 36s Burberry Suit

    My guess is that the size is just at too much of an extreme. If the suit were a 36/37 <b>Regular</b> I'd be more interested. I wonder how many other FL'ers, myself & metropd aside, are near that size?

    WWII Khaki Trousers - Originals and Reproductions

    any thoughts on the RL GI pant? I ran across them over on The Trad. They seem like the real deal, and at a slightly higher price point than the J. Crew pant. Both not made in the USA. *I should also add, howevever, that unlike the J Crew pant, I guess they have lower quality buttons. I was in my...

    Bow Ties

    I started wearing bow ties last year, and I love the look. I'm kind of picky about the way I wear it. I can't stand for it the bow to be wider than my neck (i'm about a 14.5), so I also like to the knot in a way that makes the bow very small. I'v recieved compliments on it from both non/bow...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    And of course it's always nice to elicit a smile from a shopkeeper when you enter their store. Plus, that smile likely means you're an appreciative customer and will get the same returned to you in terms of service. A collection of 700 watches is crazy, especially if it's true that the guy...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    i've just read... this thread all the way from page 1. simply amazing. I'd love to find just one vintage pocket/wristwatch like some I've seen here. In fact, I will bet that's just how it starts; you only want one watch, but pretty soon it turns into 5 or 6. It can become quite...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    It's been a while since I've been to this thread, and FL in general. I have a good reason though; I've moved overseas! I kinda miss all the yardwork and garden building I was doing when I first posted here. I have, however, set my parents up with a very lovely backyard back in the States...

    A brand new, energy efficient 1930's house

    "Homes are big contributors to the causes of climate change as they account for almost a third of the carbon dioxide emitted in the UK" Does anyone else see a big omission in this sentence, or at least something overloooked? Ok so homes account for *almost* a third....where do the other...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    Yes, the trees are in bloom here. Due to the odd up and down weather of late, a lot of plants and young trees have bloomed early, perhaps their clocks telling them it was Spring time. The more established trees and such, however, are blooming on time. I know Atlanta is having there Dogwood...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    That pic really, really astounds me. Not just because I've never heard of the US Crop Corp, but because I don't think a poster such as this could exist today. Is there something like this now? Now for the reason that I'm making a post. My veggies are sprouting in my garden! Remember, this is...

    "What's That Ungodly Stink?" - French Cheese Surprises

    I've only just started buying cheese by the block, and even then only parmesan until I can afford the parmigiano reggiano. I can never go back to that stuff in the green can. I have a question the posters here: What do you with your rinds? (besides eating them plain, of course) I was looking...

    Testing waters: Leather chair. ID?

    A chair my father recieved when a family friend passed. Taking offers. In the Stone Mountain, GA area. I figured FL might be a better place to post this rather than craigslist. There's no branding on it that I can tell, but perhaps the oldheads here can identify it. The only damage is...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello Fedorea Lounge. I'm a Georgia lurker who finally decided to join in November 07. As you can see by my post count (11 or so at the time this was posted) I still passively enjoy the site. The one thing that consistently draws me here, and to vintage clothing in general, are the men's suits...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    ditto I've been following this thread for a week or more now. I had to chime in. I'm with shoeshineboy. I started my first SQF this year, and am waiting for things to germinate. When I first learned about it, I just couldn't believe more people don't try the method. I'm a newbie gardener...
