    Thanks for the suggestions. I will add some of the ones I haven't tried to my list. MdC is my favorite shaving soap. I have enough of it to last for years. ;)

    Congrats. That is quite a haul. Until you see the Chubby 2 Synthetic in person you can't really appreciate the density of the knot. Don't be afraid to push on it hard to get it splay. The knot does loosen up some with us. Also splaying becomes easier with soap loaded from the tub.

    I have had weekends like that, and ended up on drugs for weeks.

    It is a fantastic aftershave. As good of a skin care as any I know of, and the scent is perfect for the workplace, because it is just clean/fresh and fades very quickly.

    Once again, I am hopelessly behind this month, but tonight I got to within thirty five pages of being caught up. I am hoping I will be able to jump back in next month.

    NCoxSTL AAACK!

    So, what does my mind decide to do on a day off? Soooooo many choices. But today - it's time to break down my five pound block of African Organic Black Soap. Here's the block with a bar of Stirling Pre-Shave soap on top for size comparison.

    Step one - cut into planks

    Step two - Cut planks into bars

    Then wrap each in plastic wrap and store in a big plastic ziplock bag. That's 21 bars of soap that should last at least 18 months. When it comes to bath soap, I'm set.

    Now, don't tell me I don't have an exciting life when I get to do stuff like THAT!!

    It’s an excellent shave stick. It performs well. Have you had bad experiences with Tabac?

    Might I suggest you look at Gifts and Care for your horse companion? They have an amazing selection of Vie Longs, and also carry the super cool Epsilon “Chubbies”. Their prices are great, and they ship from Spain almost as cheap as some coming from the states.

    (There is a currency tab at the upper right to change to $$, and then note the VAT discount.)

    I bet you are walking on clouds. He is a cute little guy.

    No I have not tried Tabac at all. It seems that most people love the performance while they are split on the scent. Love or Hate.
