    Gillette Super Speed DE Razors

    Consider any of the Gillette adjustables. They are all very mild and you can pick you blade strength by adjusting. Most say "The Fatboy" is the best of the Gillette adjustables. Also remember your blade is a big variable. Vintage blades are still available but without the modern finish they a...

    Hanover L.B Sheppard Longwings.

    ,My favorite pair is a Hanover L.B. Shepard's from the 1980, in a burgundy plain toe in shell cordovan. Lots of customers must have cried when Hanover left the quality shoe business.

    Shoe repair experiences?

    I've sent many pair of men's dress shoes back to Allen Edmunds for recrafting. The price was over $100 and they do come like new. I know Alden does the same and a company out of NYC called B. Nelson will do any brand. Find their web site on your search engine.

    Combination last on Aldens and AEs.

    I know the Alden Shoes I own are all combination last, meaning the heel is two sizes narrower than the front of the shoe. Is this true with AEs?

    Sizing Question - Alden vs AE

    I have bought AEs for many years and have just found Aldens in the last year. I wear an 11A and have a very narrow heel. My two Aldens with differnet last, all fit great, while the recent AE 11A vary greatly in heel width. So for fit and quality I am hooked on Aldens.
