Suggestion for New Section and reports

[Guest]

1) I have a suggestion for a separate section for men's grooming. I do not know how much effort Michael puts into creating such a thing, but it might be interesting

2) reports:

a) jacket made of first Cloth Club order has past first fitting
b) My wife bought me Kiehl's shaving cream as an anniversary gift. I know this was discussed on AAAC, but I have to say, it is very nice. I reserve judgement as to whether this replaces a Gillette Mach 3, and Nivea shave foam in the shower as the ideal shave.
c) I asked about men's fragrance lines on AAAC. Then I sent for samples from the usual suspects. The only ones who stepped up to the plate were Trumer and Truefitt. Trumper was terrible, all very effeminate fragrances. Truefitt was the opposite, I think I like every fragrance they sent me: so far 1805 and Spanish Leather are standouts.
d) Who recommended Scully and Scully for clothes valets? Good work! They have a decent one for 300 dollars, quite a bit cheaper than the 750 dollar one I asked about. The problem with the more expensive one is that I have no opportunity to actually see the thing. My mother checked out the Scully one and approved. She is also bringing me Floris samples.
d) I am going to get Draper's Irish Linen and have a Romanian tailor make it into a suit, just as an experiment.

By the way, can anyone tell me where I can order/purchase bone buttons for the suit? Apparently they do not have these in Romania.

Dr. B,

Are you going to Romania or is the Romanian coming to you? Is this going to be "remote bespoke?" (Apologies to Dr. T.)

[Guest]

I am going to him. Family obligation.

I use Taylor's of Bond Street grooming products almost exclusively. Besides a website and mail-order catalog, you can find a decent selection in Philadelphia at Black Cat Cigar Company, Sansom between 15th and 16th. The ventilation there is good, but you might need to step outside to get a true idea of a particular fragrance.

That was my issue, and also the gruff salesman who seemed quite put out I came to smell the various Taylor scents, of which he had a limited selection.

How about putting in a new posts button which will allow member to pull up only the new post that have been made since their last visit.
