    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you all by calling you gentlemen in my OP.

    Being a noob I should expect to take some punches. That's cool, I wouldn't expect no less. This video clip pretty much sums it up:YouTube - heckleu247's Channel

    With all due respect, your opinion means jack, but since this is in the off topic section of the forum then this is where inane posts are best suited. *Rhetorical Question Alert* Have you read some of the other topics in this forum?

    Wet Shaving

    Hello gentlemen, I originally posted this topic over at HF and got a couple of replies from those who actually enjoy and the hobby of wet shaving. So now I've come over here to a more refined(?) group of gentlemen who might also partake in the other morning ritual. Ok, so we obviously love our headphone gear and retreat to it at the end of a hard day, so this brings me to how we start our day and by that I mean shaving. For me, there's nothing better than the satisfaction I get out of a good luxurious shave and not to mention getting the day started off right. My routine to get a great shave starts with the use of a scrub that loosens up all that dead skin and softens the beard for a better overall shave. I then follow that up with a pre-shave lotion. One brand of pre-shave that I've been using with great succsess is Poraso cream which contains menthol and eucalyptus that gives a very cool sensation and feels downright awesome. Next up is the Art of Shaving lemon scented shave cream. With a little dab of this on the end of my badger hair shaving brush and a drop or two of water, I whip a rich creamy lather in my vintage Old Spice shaving mug. Once a lather has been made up, I proceed to paint my face until it comletely covered. I then use my Merkur Classic DE razor and make a first pass with the grain(rincing the razor everyoonce in awhile). I'll lather up again to go across the grain for my second pass to get a little closer shave. I then continue on to wash my face with Urth face wash for an overall clean experience and it also helps with minor cuts I might have given myself. Once i've dried my face with a soft towel I'll then apply a moisturizer which also acts as a aftershave and Bam!...I'm ready to start my day off right. The tools I use for a great shave:
  5. or smoke rings....lots of smoke rings. All this talk of smoking makes me want to light up after exactly one year of quitting.
  6. I'm thinking the Sox should probably make BJ Upton feel a little uncomfortable at the plate tonight;). This guy is ripping the cover off the ball right now.
  7. Just preordered mine as well.
  8. The comeback is on. Holy crap what a ballgame this is turning out to be.
  9. Unfortunately, I can't answer that question, but what I can say is that the Sox are no strangers to being down 3 games to 1 in the ALCS.
  10. From a long time Red Sox fan, hopefully the Rays have nothing more left in the tank.
  11. After listening to "Doolittle" by the Pixies on cd yesterday, I went ahead and ordered it vinyl.
  12. Excellent tip about the self liner. I was just thinking the other day if this would work as a record mat. I've just finished cuttiing one and I'm using it now. IMO this is better than using Rega's oem mat.
  13. If you look a little closer she is actually 69, which is even better.
