Yep, we're getting close now. On Tuesday the Professor will take a look at Jack's blood levels and If it looks good we will get the go ahead to go home.
I'm not holding my breath though, he needed a platelet transufsion a few days ago so may get delayed.
Thanks for thinking of us and as allways, beautiful shot today.

Very nice! How do you like the PC soaps? I haven't quite found the sweetspot in the soap/water ratio...

Thank you!!!

The PC soaps are some of my favorites!! I have two others in addition to this one; "Old Spice" and Nag Champa, and I always get a great lather with each of them. However, this wasn't always the case. I had ordered a soap from one of her earlier batches and wasn't able to get as good a lather as I would have liked with it. The later batches have been great though. No problems at all.

I've ordered some more. I've been wanting to try out the lanolin versions and see how they are so I snagged a couple more.

I tried my hand at honing last night again. Took out my Fili14 and a Globusman. This am i didnt think i had enough to shave but when i started i heard a diff tune. She was cutting. 2 passes. Outstanding shave.

Ogallala Bay rum

Congratulations on the honing success!

+1 Congrats on the honing, its so satisfying to get an edge to that really sweet shave.
Once again Thankyou to all the SOTD Brothers for your wishes, I'm sure we'll be home soon.

Lather: Proraso (white)
Razor: Simmon's Barber's Pet 5/8

This Barber's pet was the first and only shave-ready razor I have ever bought. It just had a touch-up last week when I was at home and has come back down to Sydney with me. It's now back to its former glory really delivering the goods. Only got one pass tonight but still a great shave. Only had half an hour to shower, shave, take a few pics and sit down to watch UFC.

Whaaaaaaat????? €97??? I know airport prices are ridiculous, but this is robbery. That's even worse than buying it from them and biting the bullet on shipping costs. Their website has the 170g soap (with glass jar) for ~$47 or so. I was thinking about buying it and shipping it to my friend in Paris and he can bring it with him when he visits. I will never have him pick it up at the airport.
