I have two heat pumps on my house in N. AZ. I never turn them on because they suck electricity and when it gets colder than 40 outside, they don't work as heat pumps anyway, only as large resistance-type electric heaters. $600+ electric bills in the dead of winter are possible. No gas or...

I'm not sure what your objection is to grinding. Maybe you don't like doing it everyday, which I understand, or maybe you just don't like doing it at all. Don't know, but I'll offer what I do and maybe it will work for you. I use a burr grinder on Saturdays to grind a week's worth of beans...

True enough, but although the story was weak this last season, I enjoyed Holder and Linden. They were really damaged goods and he, especially, played the part well. Eric

Search Craigslist. Lots of 'em out there. People buy them only to find out that exercise is hard work. I picked mine up for $50. Bikes-They're all noisy to some extent. The fan on that Schwinn would be welcome here in AZ. I use a small fan near me when I exercise. I have a recumbent. It's...

Have you tried this? Cella I bowl lather and if you do, use lots of water with this one. It smells like almonds and produces a rich, thick lather. It's been around forever with good reason. Eric

Because I'm shaving with a Gillette razor made in 1955. It still looks and functions like it did the day it was made. Gillette and others learned that there wasn't going to be much of a future for them if they continued to make a razor that lasted forever. They needed to create a reason for...

If you're ever in Walmart, pick up a pack of their Black Labeled Wilkonsons. $1.79/10. Not a bad blade. Eric

There are too many variables involved. What shave cream/soap, what razor, what's your beard like, what's your technique, been doing this for a while, etc.? Derby's don't seem to work for you, but that doesn't mean they're shitty blades. It's actually too bad for you because they're the cheapest...

What are those two little white thingies? I just use 2-3 sheets of newspaper. Eric

That's how I was. I owned a company; had to meet clients, but I could only shave twice a week. I hated it. I was one scruffy MF. Since switching to wet shaving, I shave everyday, having only missed one day in the last 6 months. I look forward to it. I love the feel, the mixture of old world and...

I buy Derbys online for about $8/100. I'm cheap so that's what I use, but all this talk about Feathers made me find my old stash and try one again. Night and day. Feathers are $31/100 and I just might treat myself. I get 5 days from a Derby. If I can get that from a Feather, I'm a convert...

You need to joinBadger and Blade and ask some questions there. That's a whole community devoted to wet shaving and although you've gotten some good advice here, you will do better there. My skin is probably not as sensitive as yours, but I've gotten a better less irratating shave since I...

Exactly. I buy blades on Amazon for $8/100. Each lasts about a week. Eric
