    Why the change from natural waist?

    When and why did it become the thing to do to set your pant waist at your hips or near about? The natural waist (today's hi-rise) is much more comfortable, more natural,and it looks fine. So why the change?

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    I never hear that term used as meaning anything other than and over protected and /or spoiled male offspring. Feminine actions on the part of a male, did not mean anything, in the context of the term. None the less, it was most definitely not a compliment. In my experience it was synonymous...

    To beard or not to beard?

    I had a beard from 1976 to 2015. I did not grow it from a sense of fashion but from laziness. I just got tired of shaving. Of course, the 70's and 80"s were (at least in New England) the era of the beard. Which mattered not one iota to me. Then one day (circa 2015) I went temporarily brain...

    Do Men Hate Women's Hats?

    Everyone looks better in a hat, For men it covers their bald spot. For women it gives them an air of mystery or allure. Ladies, think Film Noir.

    Old gas stations

    What is it about old cars? Modern cars are objectively probably better in every way. And, yet......yet....old cars hold our attention. Is it a sense of true style? A sense of romance of the open road when it was, at least in legend, still open.? A sense of the romance of the early 20th century...

    Old gas stations

    Loewy for me. For an unusual look at industrial design look at the International Harvester tractors he designed in the 30/40's - streamlined tractors!

    The Fall of the Moustache

    Let me explain it this way. I was not clear before. My mustache just naturally grows in a pattern much like the Magnum 'stache. That being the case do I have any chance at all of grooming it to Gable style? Or is the pattern the hair grows just too different to be made to work.

    The Fall of the Moustache

    What is the problem with the Magnum PI mustache? I had a beard from 1976 to 2015. i shaved it off twice and each time left the mustache and it was magnum-like. About a year ago I shaved to clean shaven. A few months ago I let the mustache grow back. It grew in and low and behold it was a...

    What Are You Reading

    Been reading a lot of G K Chesterton lately. Never read him before. A tremendous writer. It feels like a conversation and not "writing". Especially I have been reading his essays, regarding politics and modern life (as it was 1900-1930). All I can say is, "the more things change, the more...

    What do you use to shave?

    The oil was, um, not for me. Cremo is ok, but nothing to write home about. No better or worse than any other other shave cream of your choice. Back to Proraso soap, and soaping twice, once for each pass. I found out that no product will make up for bad technique.

    What do you use to shave?

    Since I posted my question I bought Cremo and some oil. Like your suggestions and plan to do something very similar. Thanks for the advice.
