Terry replied to Kyle Wiley's discussion Favorite / Best Creams in the group Real Shaving"+1 on B&BW "C.O. Bigelow" - Just an almond sized squeeze into a pre-warmed bowl or mug lathers up nicely (Start a little dry and add water to adjust). It smells great and I love the cool menthol feel to it."
Terry replied to Eric R's discussion Why do you like real shaving better? in the group Real Shaving"To reinforce some common themes, I was sick of the cost of cartridges & shave gel. Furthermore I was intrigued with the idea of turning my morning shave into an enjoyable ritual rather than another task that I ape through halfheartedly as I…"
Terry replied to David W.'s discussion Wet Shaving with a DE Safety Razor"I'm another user of the Van Der Hagen kit - It's a great startup kit that lets you decide if soap & brush is for you without breaking your bank. As I have improved in my lather making I've reached the point that I am not sure how…"

From what I've seen here and…"
Terry replied to Brett McKay's discussion Flashlight Reccomendations?"I don't believe in having just one flashlight. I keep a big multiple "D" Maglight by the nightstand. I also have a couple of "AA" Maglights - One in an easy to reach spot on the way to the breaker box and the other in a…"
Terry replied to Brett McKay's discussion Flashlight Reccomendations?"It can be pricey to replace the batteries but a great flashlight nonetheless. I am considering the LED bulb upgrade for improved performance and to extend the battery life."
Terry replied to Andrew D Irving's discussion I think every one should have this hanging up in their roomTerry replied to Mark Parbus's discussion Lessons From Raising a Son"I agree on this one. Even a simple task like brushing one's teeth can turn into a half hour affair when it's a six-year old boy in no particular hurry to go to bed. Engaging in effective management w/o ruling with an iron fist (Or worse…"

Terry replied to Brett McKay's discussion What Things Should A Man Pay Top Dollar For?"Now if this post was about what is the best firearm to purchase on the cheap I would agree with you. I own a Mosen-Nagant .762R and it is indeed a very efficient killing weapon with almost no upfront investment. BUT it's nothing I would…"

- Terry, your profile pic is awesome! It really captures a tender moment. Thanks for using it. Also, thanks for your kind words earlier this week. I hope you have been able to start getting your life back on track. I'm having an unusually hard time with mine right now. I can't seem to get a handle on it. The guys here at AoM have been so supportive, and my friends and family have been as well. I guess it just takes time...
