this is a beautiful mug. The vintage airplane is amazing.

Thanks. Estate auctions and flea markets are quite treasure chests sometimes.

I like 8/8 razors.

Thanks Tom . I got it from Rene. I am not too crazy about big blades (usually), but this one seems to fit "just" right and feels like a 7/8".

Not all 8/8"s are created equal....and this Dorko is a perfect example of why. If you get the chance, get one. You will not be disappointed. Wonderful shaver.

It was Frank . Scent wise: Well, the notes are not evolving like they would in a complex cologne, but are rather linear (if that makes any sense)...It's like being in a valley with nothing but Lilac and LOV. The scent opens up with a nice Lilac and soon you get the hint of the LOV in the background. It's really is nice. Very spring-like (especially in winter )

Thank you Mikael,
Sue (aka Mama Bear) really makes amazing soaps. They make an amazingly rich lather...no drying either (at least on my face). The Myrrh is particularly nice because I can mix it with virtually any creme with no clash of scents. The bowl is really nice too...and I can understand the shipping issues with this thing. Int'l shipping is a PITA.

Sure is, major PITA . I do like her soaps and have four tubs, the Rose being my favourite. The bowls would have been sweet, but I don´t blame Sue for the shipping.

Excellent Glenn . I guess with that Coffee scent, you had your shave and caffeine fix at the same time
