Thanks mate. Yep just a few days down here staying at my parents place. My 17 year old daughter was planning to catch the train down to visit some friends and family (its school vacation at the moment) but we made a kind of spontaneous decision to drive her down with 6 year old Lilly along for the ride. Lilly and I will go home on Friday or Saturday and my wife is enjoying a few quieter days back home with the 2 boys.

Thanks mate, the trip went well. I enjoy the six and a half hour trip, even with 2 girls in the back (thats what radios are for)

didnt get around to shaving tonight.
So many great post today boys.

P.S. I found some Proraso Aftershave (splash) in a shop here, but its $28 for a 100ml bottle, which I dont mind paying because I really like the mentholated feel of the soap, but I dont see it featured here in SOTD very often. Anyone have an opinion like/dislike
Thanks
Grant

Grant,
as I wrote in the other thread:
For the same money you can buy liters of good stuff like Brut or Old Spice...you should rather buy some more Teddybears...like Charly and Moppy who send greetings to Jacky-boy!

Congrats to both you and Rene for a smooth transaction. That is a nice looking Puma Jeff.

Haaaa....You ain't seen nothing yet Paul, LOL. The SOTD is the perfect venue to get all sorts of ADs going. Have fun and go with the flow. I think when funds allow, do pick yourself up a scuttle...you will enjoy it. Julie is wonderful to work with. However, you can achieve similar results on the cheap too if funds are somewhat restricted.

I stand personally responsible, LOL. I wouldn't be a good friend if I wasn't an equally good enabler, LOL, LOL. I look forward to Wednesday's shave with the Escher edge. That stone is just amazing and has a completely different feel (honing wise and feedback) that any other stone that I've had.

Excellent choice Birnando...It must be EPBD day today. I missed the memo, LOL. That Shavemac rocks too. What's its size?

Bééla,
I see that Tom had quite an influence in your brush choice today, LOL. Nice MÜHLE buddy. Also, that ERN is simply gorgeous. What kind of wood did Max use on it?

Tom: you see, you don't need to be physically in the US to own a Maxterpiece, LOL.

Great shaving 101.

Super nice Glenn...BRV is awesome. I have to break mine out too. She's been in the fridge far too long

Sounds like fun...ahhhh, vacation. I forget what that feels like. Enjoy it my friend. You deserve it and you have certainly earned it.
