Thursday

A day off work today to take Bailey into hospital for blood tests, the dentist and a review. All is OK. I loved watching him play in the play room; he’s a very sociable boy. In the hospital canteen he waved to a bunch of doctors and nurses that came in and would NOT be ignored; he didn’t give up until they said hello.

The shave that started the day was with the new Edwin Jagger Sea Buckthorn soap I bought yesterday. I’m normally more of a cream guy, rather than a soap guy, but with my current obsession of staying away from Sodium Laurel Sulphates and the like soaps appear to be a better option. This soap is great. I haven’t had a lot of experience with shaving soap, so I’m no expert at them, but this lathered really easily. The puck is quite small, but it fitted into a little mortar bowl I had perfectly. The bowl may be a TAD small (some lather escapes) but it holds the puck nice and firmly; so no slopping around in the dish. I think it looks good too. I did consider a dish with a lid, and I still might, but maybe it isn’t necessary. After all, who ever puts hand soap in a bowl with a lid? My only criticism of this soap would be that it doesn’t have a strong scent; I like STRONG scents. Also, even though it’s apparently 99.9% natural (and I’m hoping that .1% isn’t pure poison) I don’t know what the ingredients actually are. This is more about my lack of knowledge than anything, though. For all I know Sodium Palm Kernelate might be growing wildly in my back yard, or on the mountaintops of Tibet, or might be gathered by kindly fishermen from the bottom of the Norwegian Fjords…
