    I have the black fedora in my avatar which is a daily wear hat. Black looks good, I think. Contrasts well with my skin tone, and goes with just about everything!

    A couple of fountain pen questions

    I write all day with a fountain pen, 5-6 days a week and my only leak was when I forgot to empty it before flying. Sounds like physical damage, or a bad cartridge? Your post will make me think twice as I place it in my shirt from now on.... Has anyone experienced a malfunction you KNOW was...

    Rate My Look

    I concur with the other comments re: colors and size of knot. But, remember we're talking about the 3% you are still working on... the 97% looks great. I can see the obvious care and attention you put into your appearance. Bravo!:eusa_clap

    Hair cuts

    I used to love going to the barber as a kid... now it's $14.95 a pop. My brush? A 1930's Merkur heavy duty double edge safety razor!:rolleyes:

    Here's a high-angle view of my office... The desk is solid granite with a custom made "V" base. I have a leather sofa and loveseat, with a vintage coffee table where my creative team and staff meet. I'll take some better pics tomorrow.

    What do you use to shave?

    Merkur heavy double edged safety razor, badger hair brush, and Taylor of Old Bond Street cream (Lavender or Sandalwood). I am using the Israeli blades from ebay and have had great success with them. I use this on both my face and my scalp each day.

    Gold wedding band, eco-drive wristwatch (never leave home without it), cufflinks, and a chain bearing a medallion with my personal motto - Fear Not. (It is also tattooed on my right shoulder). I also wear a subdued platinum bracelet made of fishing swivels... (Mark 1:17)

    The Dumbest Comment I Ever Heard

    How about this one... This lady is telling me why she doesn't like clergy (not knowing I'm a pastor). "They either dress really sloppy, in jeans and stuff - so you know they're fake, or they dress nice like you (I was in a bespoke jacket and trousers) and they're on the take..." I...
