lol, I don't think he used it all the time just when needed' though he may have carried it all the time. It is funny though how reading certain things can bring a memory to the surface. Like that my father wore hats. I didn't think about that since he stopped which had to be 30+ years back until...

If I ever get a Progress I will be getting one of those knobs....nice razor
I just had a flash back of something I believe my father did. If not my father then someone else from my childhood. He kept a handkerchief in the crown of his hat. I can remember going out and when the hat came off so did the hanky come out. It was placed under the hat when it was set down and I...
I like the fact that I can spend five dollars on blades and have them last up to six months. Of course meanwhile i may be picking up a few cremes or soaps...lol
I will attest to what daddy said, I made the switch around a year ago and will not go back. It can take some time and you can get into it in varying degrees. I picked it up quickly as I had actually started with a DE (dual edge) razor. I now get better shaves with less irritation and more...
I fear that you may have taken what I said as being aimed at yourself. That was not my intent, is was just a general comment based on the conversation. My apologies....
Most wearing a hat would be on a similar wavelength, though not all. But the sophistication would be different for each...
I don't know if I can explain it other than "fun" but I can understand it. Which razor? soap or creme? which one...aftershave?.....
Yup, we've upgraded to a room, no closets for us.;)
And no I would hope you didn't spill...use a bowl. I have for some time been keeping an eye out for a old...

Interesting thread....
I find that people in larger urban areas with the exception of New Orleans because of the cities density have a greater sense of privacy. While this may not be the case for everyone say food hawkers at the fish market. Most people just walking down the street tend to...
I took Winsor's advice today and while shopping picked up a piece of felt.Twenty two cents wasn't much for a 9x12 piece. I removed the foam I had put in and put a couple of strips of the felt in. Tried it on and It feels better than with the foam. It isn't tighter but the pressure is over a...
I'm new to the finer parts of hats as well, but maybe I can handle answering. Woodfluter's hat has sides which are parallel and go straight up until just before the crown/top. while if you look at my side shot it tapers in some from front to back on the left hand side as seen in the picture...
I was in a thrift store today looking for a score, but alas the two fedoras there were either not my size and in need of help. Or, my size but very hard hit by moths. While I was looking a older gentleman walk up to me and as he approached said:
"You know some people just look right in a...
