Off to the office to prepare for day 6 of what was to be a 5-day trial... At least I'm clean shaven as I trundle off to work on this holiday Monday!

Notes: Finished the razor on a big ole Llynn Idwal stone last night. I think I can push it a little further, just wanted to see how it shaved today and it took a little effort to get to BBS. Little to no alum sting too.
MdC soap is just amazing for me for face lathering - very user friendly and a very good result.
The MdC Camomile oil balm goes on a little thickly, almost like vaseline, but it is quickly melted by the skin to spread evenly and easily, so not much needed at all. An Initial shine fades as it is absorbed quickly to give a pleasantly smooth and relaxed feel. Quality.
Nice to see a post, how goes the 'war' my friend?Quote:
