Thank you Marco!

Till, if your are looking for another boar, the Semogue Owners Club is a must. It is my favourite. You had a busy day then yesterday! Thorpe Park must have been packed, what with the school half term and holiday! The river pagaent was incredible on Sunday, just a shame the rain didn't hold all for the duration.

Because of the rain, and the river pageant, Thorpe park was pretty much empty. Had to wait about 10-20min per ride when the usual wait is 1 1/2 hours.

Constitution Day in Denmark today, so it's a day off and I thought I would kick back a little and try a real classic shave with only one brush
But stay tuned, I have something special planned for the weekend


And congrats on the 11K

Two-tone MdC! Scented and unscented all in one?! Is that a new variety just out, Balaji?!!

Hey David! No its just the plain ol Unscented version. This was just a photo effect that I thought looked nice for today SOTD pic. But it would be interesting to see a soap in that manor? Not just MdC but including all others out there!

AGREED! Very nice combo and excellent pic. My unscented MdC pairs well with any AS Balm or Lotion!

Awesome shave. I'm always surprised at how much glide and cushion Proraso provides. I think because it was so cheap compared to my other soaps I somehow discount its effectivness in my brain. I really have to get over that! Proraso is a winner! And its 6:08 pm and I still faintly smell the Jermyn St.

Glad you like the Proraso, Chris. I tried it twice and on both occasions, despite a fantastic shave, was left with such a tight feeling skin afterwards. Interestingly, I was recently sent a sample of SMN made by the same company, and guess what?....yep....same thing. Oh well, guess it wasn't mean't to be. A really well executed shot, my friend!
