I agree, it is an acquired taste some what similar to Lilac Vegetal in that regard. However, I don’t find its as strong as the Veg’s, or as weird. It’s just different. The Veg‘s initial smell out of the bottle reminds me of a blend of urinal cake and Jeyes Fluid, but once it’s on my face and...

The Goodfellas’ Smile “Pino Alpestre” aftershave

I love Coltrane. His most notable albums are “Ascension“ and “A Love Supreme”.

My BK4 is a real favourite of mine. The Silvertip badger feels lovely on my face; it sort of caresses my face as I lather. Moreover, it easily holds enough lather for three passes. Although some think the knot is on the small side, it splays very nicely; anything bigger likely would smother...

Unfortunately, I find the Chubbies, regardless of the hair or size, are like lathering with a brick of hair: inflexible and impenetrable.

That’s my experience with the two stores near us. What frustrates me is the limited selection of quality men’s clothing. When they have some it’s very good, but it’s not often. On the other hand, the selection of quality women’s clothing seems endless; when my wife enters one of their stores...

I have picked up some very good deals from their stores in Canada and England, but I’ve had to persevere: for example, Icebreaker merino wool hiking socks, Ralph Lauren button down and Polo shirts in England and Italian cashmere sweaters/jumpers and Italian lambs wool sweaters/jumpers in Canada...

In Canada they trade under the names Winners, HomeSense and Marshalls. From a male perspective they are a hit and miss proposition for clothing and grooming supplies compared with the selections for women.

We saw them in Toronto a few years ago and if I remember correctly the ticket prices were in that range. It was an indoor venue and all seated, however. Non-stop Mick for nearly 3 hours.(y)

Do you have regular prostate exams, both physical and PSA? I had a radical prostatectomy in June 2020. Fortunately it was done robotically (Da Vinci) and laparoscopically make it much less invasive. Prior to the surgery I was monitored by my urologist for several years, which consisted of...

King James Version. NKJV changes too many words and too much grammar, which changes meanings and the beauty of the language. Nonetheless, for a person whose mother tongue is not English it may not be the easiest to understand.

LL Bean has a selection of backpacks. If you’re in the UK google global.llbean.com

All my bulb-shaped knots have loosened up, but none has actually splayed. They’ve all retained their bulb-shape after several years of use. I don’t bowl lather so when I lather on my face I exert a fair amount of pressure on the knot as I make a combination of circular strokes and painting...

That’s the way I’ve dealt with it. Just let nature take its course. Several years ago I had chemotherapy which result in the loss of all the hair on my head. For me it was no big deal as beating cancer was far more important. Prior to my first treatment I had all the hair buzzed off my head...

Very nice and clean looking, just like the Swiss railway station clocks.

Alt-Innsbruck aftershave.

I used my G5C for two weeks and didn’t like it. I thought it felt like my old Muhle STF and that my AP Shave Co SynBad was much better. I’ll give it a try again the this week, but I have yet to find a synthetic that beats any of my 30 badgers and 4 boars; the SynBad comes the closest, but then...

@Manstein and @hotmetal i’m with you regarding complications: less is more. All my watches, except for the Vacheron Constantin, have a date, which I rarely consult and would gladly do without. My two dive watches, an Omega Seamaster Professional and a Momentum M30, have rotating bezels as one...

Tap water for me. On the rare occasion when I want sparkling water it’s San Pellegrino.
