If you are on Windows you can open a prompt(command line window) and type in: ipconfig /flushdns And see if that helps. You might have to do a /registerdns too. I've only had to do the above maybe twice ever so if it nukes your computer I'll apologize now. Hopefully someone more...

I only suggest that you do it as a way to practice non-verbal communication skills. Just as you're perfectly content over-paying at Enchante, I am perfectly content ordering from QED or Vintage. See? We're all happy. Well, you will be once you get over defending every slight--real or...

I haven't found any of the British creams locally. The nearest C&E is in San Marcos(never have been but it's listed in an outlet mall). No idea on L'Occitane. The owner of the North Star Barber Shop(fake-straight shaves) recommended a barber supply store but for some reason I didn't put the...

Much better. Now try a letter to CAR and see if he can work on his prices for the British creams.

Just for you, Scorpio, I'll "bash" Green Pond. D.R. Harris: Enchante--$30.00 Green Pond--$31.00 ....

How is quoting his prices "bashing" CAR? You seem to be emotionally invested in Enchante for some reason. I've run out of guesses as to why that is but I can't say I really care. You punctuate and argue like a teenager.

So you aren't CAR and you aren't a method shaver. Did you happen to overpay for the re-sale items? That's the only thing I have left to explain why you responded with...well, nothing. So you like Enchante...that doesn't change the fact that their prices are consistently the highest. Do I...

I didn't want to resurrect this thread but since you did....the response in the WaPo was classic. Radical. Dangerous. The NYT hung their *** out pretty far too and got bit. They said this was the first ruling in history that recognized an individual right. Took blogs all of about 2 minutes...

I'm sure CAR can use the business to pay the rent in his new digs. By the way, the next block of Da Cube you buy...that was mine. In case you were curious.

It's part of the sales pitch. Same with the whole "cartridges shave too closely...DE shaves closer than a cartridge" silliness. I was lied to and I've never been happier.

OK, this piqued my interest. Seems that little factoid originated with Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, originator of the Clinton-Mena-cocaine-murders conspiracy bunk. That certainly doesn't mean everything he says is horsepuckey but it's not very reassuring. Here's a transcript of the trial...

Almost forgot why I came back.... The Whole Foods at the Quarry carries Tom's of Maine and other shaving products. The GNC at the Forum carries Thayers(Rose, Lavender, and another I can't remember). The Forum also has Target which carries Proraso. Can't think of anything else local at the...

Vintage Blades has the Merkur HD for $29.99 and free shipping with a Shavemac or Rooney brush. Cheapest price on Taylor's as well. There's nothing wrong with Enchante but for someone in San Antonio looking for shaving items it doesn't make much sense to suggest the most expensive retailer...

Are you CAR?

There was an episode of Dirty Jobs that gave me a new respect for veneer. You can watch it here. At the end they turn it into furniture. I tried to find it on Google/Youtube but I've no idea which episode that is from.
