    Dita von Teese

    Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese are both business people that have realized the potency and effectiveness their images have on their careers. Regardless of how pleasant or unpleasant those images may be, each one perpetuates the career. I find it a little depressing how far they had to go...

    What's the Funniest Things to happen to you in vintage?

    I can't tell you how many stupid comments I've received and annoying situations I've been in... But on one occasion, while I was courting a young lady, we were downtown in a coffee shop waiting for an order when three drunken women walked up and asked if they could get a picture with me. I...

    What's the Funniest Things to happen to you in vintage?

    This honestly sounds like a challenge one would overcome in a video game sans audience; eg, Resident Evil, etc. You're in a spooky abandoned theatre with no lights save a fickering empty projector running for no apparent reason (don't worry, you'll have to combine the film reel item you find...

    Passe' words and phrases

    I use more anachronisms than I can even recall because all of them seem natural to me until someone points it out. I call a small restaurant a "diner" and a food area inside a building (that's not intended for food, like a mall or hospital) a "cafeteria". I call rude or ignorant people...

    Vintage descriptions for new ideas

    Call me out on this if I'm wrong but I find it ironic that we should all be having this discussion. Back in the day, words like "wondergram" or "electrofile" would have been fitting words to describe the 'new' and 'amazing' technologies of tomorrow. And I imagine in most cases these words...

    Straight Razors and Accessories

    Can any of you recommend a stainless steel straight razor within a price range of $20-$60? Also, does anyone know the name of the paste/liquid used for strops? And could anyone recommend where I could find a strop, stone and other accessories for around $20-$60 as well? Thanks for all...

    Straight Razors and Accessories

    I just thought of something and maybe you guys could give your advice again. If I would like to get the hang of a straight razor shave before purchasing a quality razor, would it be advisable, or practical, to purchase a "disposable" straight razor? I ask because they are inexpensive and I...

    Straight Razors and Accessories

    Since we're on the topic... Please feel free to merge this if necessary. I've searched through over a year of threads and I could have sworn there was a thread on this topic, but I can't seem to find it. I want all the information I can get on modern straight razors, straight razor shaves...

    Soap for shaving

    I've had good luck with Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Soap from Walmart. It usually costs around $1.50 per bar. Perhaps it's a matter of local inventories, or maybe a matter of product location in your actual store, but I would imagine you should be able to find it in any Walmart somewhere...

    The Labor Day Rule

    I know most people wear ball hats at funerals and throw their feet up on the table at restaurants but I know there are still those few of us that try to live by SOME sort of antiquated, seemingly eccentric, rules. I can't remember what the rules are for post-labor day dress but I was...

    Soap for shaving

    I tend to lather and brush with warm water and glycerin soap. Because I have such sensitive skin, I step into a very hot shower and make sure to clear off my face and throat. Afterwards, I use Clean&Clear Morning Burst facial soap with the little "bursting beads"; I pick it up relatively...

    The Fedora Lounge: The crash, The move and The Aftermath

    I was hard up for a bit too; I had to sit at work and stair at my panama just to get my fix. Didn't work too well. Glad we're back up! :D

    Baron Hollywood Hats as compared to custom?

    I agree with the above comments and allow me to add my own. The hats look decent but the prices are scary. The fine hat market is one requiring research and finesse. Unfortunately, one cannot simply walk into any fine clothier, as in the old days, and expect to find something of affordable...

    4/40, 9/80?

    Let me be honest about the 4/40 weeks... I loved them! I wish I could get back on that boat. I had Fridays off, I saved money on gas, I was able to actually get things done during the week, etc. But of course it depends on your job. I didn't mind the extra hours because, heck, I was...

    Tinnitus "Fixes" ?

    I mentioned Labrynthistis to my young lady and she was happy to read about it. Apparently her doctor had mentioned that to her some months ago but never followed through with anything. Thank you for the direction, she's been pretty depressed with her condition and any help goes a long way...
