    The first thing that came to mind was the MF 1922 Le Bijou and I found a guy on reddit suggesting the same thing here so maybe I wasn't totally off base. I'm not a big Ashton guy though (their flavor...

    I think of this less as “an Ashton VSG at half the price” and more of a “Liga #9 but better.”

    That watch is hot. Especially at the price point.

    I've got one of these and the dial on that timex has the same, y'know, vibe.

    I started with Proraso and it keeps being awesome.

    In the summer, a shave with Proraso and then a splash of Osage Rub is a great way to freeze your face on a hot day.

    After. The hot water softens your beard hairs and makes them easier to cut. This is why the barber shop puts a hot towel on your face before doing a straight shave.

    My 3-stitch continues to be good for a PX4C carried appendix.

    I have found a nit though: the rear corner of the female velcro sticks out just enough that it scratches my love handle when I wear...

    Esstacs were fine until I took practice seriously. They do not hold up well to regular training.

    1 second a day is pretty frickin good for a mechanical watch. My preference is for a watch that's fast rather than slow because I'd rather be early than late, but at 1 s/day I still wouldn't complain.
