    EBay Meers

    I have a question for the more experienced among you. The meers I have bought have all come from my local shop so know the quality. Tonight I was looking on EBay and I'm seeing meers that have color (blue, brown, purple, and various patterns of color). How is this normal? I thought meers...

    Finally made the switch

    After years of being only marginally pleased with shaving with a modern razor, and being completely dissatified with the cost of refills, I finally ordered a DE razor (Merkur HD 34c). I got my hands on a cheap (badger hair) shaving brush and some Willams Mug Shaving Soap. I did a lot of...

    E-Readers

    Anyone here a fan of e-readers (Nook, Kindle,etc)? I love to read, and over the past few years have become a fan of e-readers. They are a convenient way to carry several books with me when I travel. My mother, on the other hand, swears that she needs the feel of a real book. What are some of...

    Greetings from Champaign, IL

    My name is Ed and I'm a professional photographer and preacher living in Champaign, Il. I have been smoking pipes for about 2 years and they are what I consider the ultimate relaxing luxury. I enjoy smoke an aromatic tobacco (also keeps the wife happy). My current collection includes a Ser...
