Back at this one again and it’s there. Today it broke down into small bits, but I’ll try and get another shave from it tomorrow and then call it done. Great shave and scent. Life is good!

So here we are. What little bit of the Gaelic Tweed that was left is now in a clown puke tub and we have a new soap for the work week. Our department is in the office today and tomorrow and we are de-cluttering our spaces in preparation for a floor move. So I went with the lighter scent of Duc De Santal. I like the scent of this soap, but I’m not sure if it will make it into my top 10. Maybe. There is so much competition. But I am trying to get down to 10 soaps, so we will see.

Had an excellent shave this morning and that was the way to start the day. The Henckels just delivers. The hinge pin needs a little snugging up, but I’ll get that this evening. Life is good!

Don’t listen to them Tim! You don’t need to being using scraps and leftovers! Like when my wife will spend 10min squeezing 7 cents of ketchup from the old bottle into the new.

Another very nice shave this morning. Nice wrap up to the work week and I am so glad it’s Friday. I think I have a few honey do’s to do tonight and more this weekend … yah! I’m not going to try and 3017 this soap just yet, there are a few ahead of it. I know inquiring minds wanted to know. I think that’s all I have at the moment. Life is good!
