Some of this locations we know already, but in the past there was not enough time for the details.
We were in the West in 2002/ 2003 and 2006.
Now we spend 3 nights in Yosemite directly. In the past we were in Mammoth Lakes and drove to Yosemite...you need 3 hours to get there.

Oh! Now I feel silly! I knew it was WIDE though...See I'm used to rather thinnish razors. I can see me considering buying yet ANOTHER three razor case soon, or should I just jump right in and go from a 5/8 to an 8/8, 'cause that width looks useful for 'heel use'. Maybe I shouldn't muck around getting a 6/8?
I know everyone will say I need 'one of everything'...

Serious? I haven't even got to try the real stuff yet, just the sensitive. I guess they both lather the same though? This is second for me to Musgo Real, I like the scent of Musgo better and they lather the same for me... I'll have to look around for the 'non sensitive' one...

Oh... I must be thinking of the wrong one, I meant the one in the light brown and dark brown tube, with the mineral salts...
I'm still really just a grasshopper, you know :-)
[EDIT], so now of course I realise I'm talking about a cream and a soap was mentioned, please ignore everything I said :zip lip:

The Manatiales is the wooden bowl pictured in his post, with a very nice puck of soap inside.

Yes, of course, that's what comes from not reading properly and jumping in and opening my mouth too soon!

No, you need several of everything, actually ... Lol (seriously though ;D). In general I prefer 11/16 to 8/8 sizes, but sometimes I can go for other sizes too

I'm frightened of guns, wouldn't know what to do with it, but I can run quite fast when the situation demands. (I do have a sharp Razor)
