I'm in NIRVANA!!!!!!! TGQ soaps AND truefitt and Hill samples came in today.
Wowzers. I think "Leatherneck" is gonna be a regular soap for me now too, probably what I will go with tonight.

Well, if you'd hurry up and get your stuff out, I wouldn't have to be paying $40 for a measly little bottle of aftershave.
Don't worry though, I didn't order any shaving cream or soap from them.....

Ok, well I just ordered some soaps and one of those laundry smelly good things to keep you busy until you start making AS/cologne. Guess I'll have to order that Truefitt&Hill while I wait!
