Stay well.

Jermyn Street is one one the best out there. I haven't tried the soap but the cream is AWESOME!

You could always order a new knot from the golden nib and replace it - that way you'd get to keep the present from your wife, and be real happy about it as well

The usual great shave with the Geneva...I dug out the Limited Edition Coates as I read that the new company is going out of business and decided to give it a try so i can decide whether or not I should pick up some more before it's all gone. It had dried and turned into the consistency of Valobra or Cella but it worked nonetheless having used my Jagger brush as I would a boar loading up on soap. It still produced a fine lather which was more than sufficient for a face and head shave. I'm not sure I'll pick up any more, however...and today will be better than yesterday.

Thanks Glenn, a nice shave sure can make wonders when feeling a little down.
