Thanks Robert! I thought they had missed to kill a nerve thread and that was where the infection took root, but you mean it started in the biofilm layed there by the dentist when doing the root canal job!?

Welcome to the SOTD family! One day I´ll get one of those Wapies, you seems to like it and it gets you clean in one pass, must be a keeper

Wow, what a brush, the Shavemac. Soft and pure luxury . And the NF is a lather master and produced tons of lather. Today I lathered up my Nanny test soap again (The Spicy One, not in pic) and I got it better today and it produced lovely slippery Nannys lather. First I did the same mistake as I did yesterday and made it to dry (it looked good enough to put a cherry on top off though, but was to dry). I´ll keep on it this week, but this seems to be a very good soap indeed and I´ll get it right from start next time (tomorrow ).

Lovely picture Fonti! But that chubby doesn´t look like a best to me, it sure looks like a two band!?

Edited: Bill, that´s one hell of a nice setup and pic! Blade looks grim

I started down a new career path tonight. I began pre-apprenticeship training to be a Chef. What this basically means is that I dont have a job yet, but in the next 10 weeks I will spend 3 days per week doing college training plus 2 days per week doing work placement in a local restaurant, and hopefully land an apprenticeship after that. There is not a lot of work in Coffs Harbour, but this is a good industry, I'm pretty confident.
My first night training went well, but I'm tired now, just a quick 2 passes with the Barbers Pet. Nice and smooth, I really like the MWF. Now its time to relax.

Thanks for all the great posts guys.

Grant: Best of luck in your new career.
