I like AOS shave creams. I don't think they are overpriced either, no shipping.


Interesting book. If you need any criminal investigative work done I'd be happy to help!!

Thanks for the offer, Jeff, but it's a bit late. The hearing starts in about 1:45... I don't even think you can make it to Hawaii in that short time.
