I'm camping at the lake and we are out on paddleboards. You should see all the teets out here! Especially on the beach. No motorboats allowed on this lake... I call BS!

Folks, this is a great soap. It makes good lather and the scent is on point and strong. Looking at their website it's only 8.9 Euros. It made me think while we're traveling I should pop into any general stores we happen across and look for shaving supplies that aren't common here (and scotch).

Afternoon shave when we were able to get into our room. Flight over wasn’t bad but most of us only got 30min sleep. So we were dragging. We did hit up Big Ben and Fortum & Mason. I was able to get to Floris because it really wasn’t out of the way. They knew I was coming because they had a store exclusive sent based on scotch fork Islay. I was only planning on sniffing at the store, but had to pick that one up. I also realized I only brought 2 small soap samples so we hit up a Boots store and I found Wilkinson Sword shave soap for under 3£. And also found a Wilkie shavette.

Glad you got to Floris so easily. Soap sounds very nice. I’m assuming it’s Smokey

The girls were up at 4am but waited until 7 to come to our room to ask when we were going to get going. Today’s itinerary is breakfast at a street bakery, then take the tube to Mendenhall markers, walk to the Tower and bridge of London and then over the bridge to Borough market. And then finish off the day at Harrod’s. Relax a bit and the Phantom of the Opera tonight.

3 up and 3 down. When I didn’t think I had enough soap to use I decided to just leave my brush and soap in the bowl. Sam would be proud. I used less soap than I usually do and it lasted 4 days!
