Yep, he's doing good. The medical support here in Australia is great. The op on his arm went well, it's now straighter and longer after bone lengthening surgery. Thanks for the comment :-)

It's a bit of a let down when I splash it on (as I like some burn). But it does seem to take care of my skin in the hours after - not even a bit of dryness and it does tighten and brighten things up. I would tend to think that it is an overall very healthy choice for the skin...The scent is definitely hit or miss depending on the person but doesn't stick around long.
It's my first bottle of it, I'm leaning towards getting another. Only negative for me is the lack of a nice kick when applying.

Thanks for that. Sort of turned me off buying it
I like strong (stingy) after shaves with a strong long lasting scent. May just get some Pinaud Clubman again or some Bay Rum of some sort...

I'm also going to get some of this Snake Bite stuff (if they deliver to AU)...

Fine Classic Aftershave Splash - In Six Scents

Bit of a boring DE shave today with the antique store Gillette. Palmolive 'Shave' cream and Old Spice after shave made for a very old fashioned scent combination. The DE was loaded with an Astra blade (I use no other)...

Boring day at work, though I did buy some nice green tea from the Chinese supermarket as well as some nice cheese (can't remember what sort). When I buy cheese from the markets I generally sit at my desk and eat it all in one go.
