    Double Edged Razor Blades

    Here's the difference. Mine is a closed Muhle R89. I'd rip my face off with an open comb.

    Double Edged Razor Blades

    I can tell just by looking at it, that's a very aggressive razor, meaning the blade gap and the angle are pretty pronounced. Personally, I have a very mild razor I use with feather blades, and I never cut myself. If you're cutting yourself with a double edge, it's usually not the blades fault...

    Double Edged Razor Blades

    I second feather blades paired with a Muhle razor and Pre de Provence No.63 shave cream. I've been using this combo for years and love it. No. 63 smells great. I've tried all the others but I always come back to feathers.

    Ruminations on Senior Citizenship

    For me, as I get older, the love for my children grows more intense, the value of relationships takes on a different tone. I'm driven to explore the meaning of my life more than I ever did. Every morning I look in the mirror and see some old man staring back. My body doesn't respond as well...

    Salute from Colombia

    Hey Jorge, for the record, I'm an American living here for 5 years. My wife is Colombian. There's only a couple of places I've found tobacco in Colombia... Mercado Libre, which I have not ordered from. But I have ordered from here: Picadura Pipa - Habanos La Tabaqueria -...

    What's Your Favorite Doughnut?

    Living in a foreign country you tend to miss things that you use to take for granted. One of those for me is donuts. When I go back to Texas for visits, it seems like there's a donut shop every other block. Here in Colombia your only choice is Dunkin Donuts. You would be amazed at how many...

    What Is Your Favorite "Manly" Poem?

    O Captain! My Captain! BY WALT WHITMAN O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring...

    Iconic Movies that Disappoint.

    Just to switch it up a bit from the classics, I just watched "Killers of the Flower Moon". I'm a big fan of Scorsese. "Goodfellas", "The Departed" "Taxi Driver" among others. But I gotta say, his latest disappointed me. I was looking forward to it and I really wanted to like it. But I just...

    No, it's Not Just You: Music has Gotten Worse

    To each generation it's own. But if this generations taste in music is like their social woke philosophy, then what does it say about the soul of their songs? There's a reason why classics from Mozart, Puccini to Led Zeppelin are remembered. I dare say the Beyonces and Taylor Swifts of the...

    Hola from Colombia!

    Yes I do, it's all around us. I guess I've take it for granted, but it's a world class morning sip every day

    Hola from Colombia!

    wow, that's a great video, I haven't seen that before. Manizales has been my home for some time now and the video really captures the city and surrounding areas. Thanks for posting that.

    Hello from Colombia, South America

    Hey Brando, I live in Colombia and just started back up smoking recently.

    Hola from Colombia!

    Hi everyone... having taken a hiatus from pipe smoking for a number of years, I've decided to jump back in. I'm retired and been living in the coffee region of Colombia for the last five years. I occasionally go home to see my family but I'm really happy and feel fortunate to be living in such a...
