    Charles Tyrwitt now sells suits

    They are not real high end suits, but for about $500 bucks they are pretty nice. http://www.ctshirts.co.uk/usddefault&Language=GB

    BROOKS BROTHERS

    Brooks Brothers has different quality suits. The Brooks Ease is a great suit that does not cost as much, and gets less wrinkled due to the way they stiched it. You can also just get separates which is nice as usually the pants wear out first. The 810 suits are $799. However they have sales...

    The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...

    I bought the Merkur razor from Charles. It took me a while to learn not to press against my skin like I did with the Mach 3. But now I get even better and closer shaves with the Merkur. I have been using the Merkur blades now for a while and love them. I turn the knob once for my first pass and...

    Question about shoes?

    I have Alden and Johnson and Murphy shoes. I like the leather soles and the feel of them. However many in my office put the rubber on the bottoms completly. They say they are more comfortable and save you from ever replacing the soles. Is there any truth to this? Some say that the leather...

    My shaving experience with Merkur, not good

    The adjustable is much better, as you can control how close you want the blade on your skin. I just spent $11.29 for 4 turbo blades. What a rip off! This is motivating me to continue to learn the Merkur, and hopefully I will have a better time with it in a week or two. I can get 10 blades under...

    My shaving experience with Merkur, not good

    I used a Mach 3 turbo with a brush and good cream. I shaved north to south, lathered again, and went across the grain, then lathered again and went south to north. I never cut myself (hardly) and I always got a great shave. I went and got a Merkur shaver with the screw knob on the bottom...

    The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...

    thank you for your reply. I currently am using the Mach 3 Turbo which blades are easier on my face. I am aware that the Merkur does not have 3 blades, but have been told by some that they stay sharper longer (Mach 3 turbo gets 3 days of shaving for me) and that they you get a very close shave...

    How is the Merkur shaver with their platinum blades compared to the M3. I also noticed there are several Merkur to choose from. Anyone of of them better than the other. One has a knob on the botton to reove the blades, another has a slant which is suppose to contour to your face better.

    Gillette vrs Gillette

    Re: a Safety Razor man.. The extra blades are a little closer to the beard, so they do cut closer. Some have said the first lifts the beard and the second and third cut. But again my question is in regards to this new vibrating razor. Has anyone found it better than the Mach 3 Turbo...

    Gillette vrs Gillette

    Ok, I had the Mach 3, and it was comparable to the Schick Xtreme 3 blade. Then I got a Mach 3 Turbo in the mail. I found that the blades did cause less friction over the regular Mach 3 and I got less razor burn from it. I have not switched to anything else since. Now they have the Gillette M3...

    The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...

    Update I talked to the Art of Shaving in regards to the pre oil. They told me they I could wet my face and then add the pre shave oil. It is suppose to soften the beard. There is also some type of pepper which is suppose to make your face warm. Due to the large molecules I was told that it...

    The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...

    " If you are not using the Robert's method or similar approach, then there are many other fine (and more economically sensible) brushes on the market that should satisfy your needs." Sounds reasonable to me. At this point I am very happy with my silver tip badger from the Art of Shaving...

    The Art of a Shave ... A Journey ...

    Shaving, and the Art of it I went into a mall in NYC and found the Art of Shaving store. I went in and had a smirk on my face as I started seeing the prices of brushes and the shaving cream. I started asking questions very politely but persisted for good answers. Then I went on the internet and...
