  1. Thanks Joe! I'm guessing the Cryogen is more mentholated. Some mention it brings tears to their eyes. The ZM isn't near that for me, it's just plenty mentholated.

  4. I am fortunate that I am one of the few shavers that don't tear when using Cryogen. Zingari Sego base seems to be very good. I have too many soaps before I endeavor to try it.

  6. Thank you Keith! You encouraged me to try the bigger blades and I went for it. As you know, I have Mad Max at 10/8 and I am thinking of going with a 12/8 ArtRazor by Yuri Kravchenko. I appreciate your friendship and your straight razor knowledge.
  7. Great post, Joseph. Tomorrow's shave will be better. Gents like us...we have a lot in common.

    Our love of fine fragrances:

  9. Unfortunately, they do. Everything I read (the industry messaging, in other words) said it was a non-negotiable fee. It would most certainly be negotiable if buyers refuse to pay it and cars sat on the lot.

    I understand that advertising is a business expense, but it should be reflected in the asking price. I don't get all the extra fees.
  10. plain old capitalism..;)profits first ,people second..:D

  12. Agreed, Joe. As long as my car is reliable, I'm satisfied. We have two 'grandpa' cars, according to our friend's kids. I may replace one of them at some point. My Bride has been scanning the listings of our local family car lot. If we do, it will be for something that she would enjoy driving.
  13. Another Fine shave today. Thanks to
    @Primotenore for the B&M BayRum soap.
