You don't need to spend a lot to smell great. Here's a thread I started at Badger and Blade: Recommended Fragrances Under $40. It's a little dated, but still a good list. And many discounters also list on eBay. If you know what you want to buy, that's the best place to start your search.

A lot of of those scents are like some codger blends. Not fashionable, but still good. I count Brut as one of them.

If you haven't pulled the trigger on that purchase, I highly recommend the Henson Shaving Company. The medium aggressive model does a great job. The way it is engineered results in it not feeling aggressive at all.

Welcome Bagwil from the Bluegrass State!

@Balisong, I hadn't thought about it that way. If we take out two more outliers, one at each end of the distribution, we might be able to smooth it out even more, and drop that standard deviation even further. 🤔

Welcome Michael from the Bluegrass State!

I was also unaware "average" could refer to anything other than mean. But it looks like it can. But I knew about median and mode. Although our subject isn't at all "vital", it's fun to put to work our old noggins (not counting the outliers). 🤓

@mosin1932, I think I would agree with all of the above with the exception of the issue of outliers. Unless there is a good reason to exclude the two young members, even if they fall beyond 2 SD, then they are members of the population we are analyzing. I'm sure you can appreciate the vital...

Now I'm enjoying Watch City Rouxgaroux in a Barling Sovereign bent acorn with vulcanite saddle stem. By the way, I've seen a nearly identical Barling described as a "bell". When I bought this on eBay, it was described as an acorn. Thoughts, anyone?

After church and lunch, the missus and I are back home. While she takes a nap, I'm on the patio enjoying the delightful weather, Straus Sleepy Hollow in a Jansen's N.O. bent volcano with saddle stem, a can of Coke Zero, and I'm starting Ben Hur, which I've never read, but the film with Charlton...

Hi Rob, welcome from the Bluegrass State!

I don't want to be pedantic, but the median is not is not the average--the mean is. But including the median is a good idea, since the distribution is asymmetric. And the "outliers" need to be included, unless all you want is the average age of the old members.

Hi Quickhatch! Please visit the the members forum and introduce yourself if you haven't already.

This will probably be my last smoke of the day: MB Mixture: Scottish in a Hardcastle's Crown bent billiard with saddle stem.

I'm considering starting a new thread: "Which @JimInks pipe do you covet the most?" 🤓

As others have stated: you really should ask questions. Others (like me) will have the same or similar questions, hence you are contributing. 🤓

After a chilly start to the day we've reached a beautiful autumn afternoon with a temperature of 70°. I'm getting to my first bowl of day, which is C&D Oriental Silk in a 1980 Peterson's Dublin 2 Silver Army Mounted 102 with vulcanite p-lip stem. I'm also enjoying a cup of Colombian coffee, and...

Now smoking Arango Balkan Supreme in an '80s Peterson's smooth 312 with vulcanite p-lip stem.

It's a beautiful autumn afternoon in the Bluegrass! I'm relaxing on the patio with KBV Burley Morning Pipe in a Jansen's N.O. bent volcano with vulcanite saddle stem, a glass of peach iced tea, and a book.

That might be difficult to determine. But I'll own up to 68.
