    Lovely picture.
    I used not to like Yardley 50 years ago.
    And now it is rare... :(

    Thanks Guy...the reason I brought up the flow-control issue is that a reviewer wrote WN to complain the spout was too large, and they sent him a newer one with a control thingy. Or it may have been just the control thingy alone(that they sent him...I don't fully recall). I'll have to cross my fingers, I suppose. I'll be going for Heartwood and 1911.

    Menthol Monday:

    The grandest of the Grand Freezes with this awesome setup!

    L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Minora day 2
    Bundubeard African Potato X 3 SS
    Prep ASB
    B&M Arctique AS Splash

    What I would do to have this African Potato X 3 soap again because it’s absolutely wonderful - my man Jaco created a masterpiece. Its outdoorsy scent is so beautiful, it lathers like a bomb, and it’s got a menthol sensation that can freeze the smithereens out of you as well as such perfect skincare - not only that, the slickness gives great blade glide. I can’t stop praising the Prep because it’s my favourite balm, and the Arctique aftershave not only leaves you frozen solid, it smells lovely. Three passes left me smoother than silk!

    Have a good week - be well and safe!

    I've written to them three times in the past year as I've been interested in trying their shampoos, but they have been out of stock all year and they have failed to respond to a single email I have sent them. Makes me wonder if they entend to close shop.

    Oh wow...that is indeed a concern. I am batting .500 at getting replies from them-they replied the first time, but not the second, which was when I asked them the same thing I asked you. I'd better update my contact info with them(can't be too sure, y'know). I did order the sample A.S. batch from them when I first learned who they were. They were great, but the samples are too small.
