It was like adding butter to a well done slice of toast

WOW!!!!!! Seriously sweet blade!

This time last week it was so chilly I wore a flannel shirt to work.
Today it was so hot I wanted to go to work in my birthday suit.

Brush: Omega #11205 - Beehive “Two Banded Boar”
Razor: Gillette “Aristocrat”
Toner: Thayers “Original” Witch Hazel w/ Aloe Vera

I've been spending quite a bit of time here as my company is expanding/combining/relocating/centralizing operations here. I would agree with you with the crazy weather...last time I was here I expected it to be much warmer and the high for the week was 52...wish I'd have brought a coat. Cheers!

Yeah, I got that too from the SWMBO and a "F'n hell" from my 14 year old son, but I like it. Check out the Top SWMBO thread, maybe that could guide you (assuming you give a toss what she thinks, that is)...

Yeah, it's one of my favourites! You know, if they don't ship to KL, for some odd reason, I'm happy to get some for you and ship it to you if you pay the costs. KL isn't that far from AU. It's quite cheap at theportugalonlineshop.com. Maybe I could just get some next time I buy something from the afore mentioned web site to save shipping costs.

There are times that I look at myself, shake my head at myself, and say “You sad, sad, little man”. I am sorry to report that I was actually excited to get up this morning; looking forward to Body Shop Macca Root shaving cream and Whisky aftershave. Yes, that’s what my life’s come to. And I blame it all on straightrazorplace.com. You guys are going to be SOOOOO sorry you ever set up this site when I sue you for all you're worth for taking away my life…Bastards!
