My younger brother recently purchased a tub of Taylors Avocado, but could NOT get used to the scent so he sent it to me. Canada Post was kind enough to deliver it to me this morning. To say the least, I love this stuff.

I guess you never saw the 'ole tooth in a glass of soda trick?
The tooth will disolve completely.

Today I had a wonderful package waiting for me at the office.
Lee once again demonstrated his speedy service. The PJ1 is an incredible brush. It's a wonderful size that performs admirably. The major also is outstanding. It will be a pleasure to use when I'm on the road.

Wow, I have PJ ENVY! Those look great Rik.
Very nice Rik! Love those PJs! How about a #3 now to round out the stable?
Sigh.... luckily I got some relief from the horrible pangs of jealousy over Riks PJ1 (see pic below)..... YOU %$&$% 
Seriously... that thing is a beauty.... you have the PJ1 and the PJ2.... I have the PJ2 and PJ3.... sigh.... looks like it'll be a race to see who completes the line first 
So anyway - my score today - A cool Duke 3, which is my first Simpson in Best Badger (I don't really count the Wee Scot) and I must say, this Duke handle is radically superior to a Chubby handle (the Duke 3 is basically a Chubby 1 best, with a better, more comfortable handle). The best badger hair is certainly a lot "wimpier" than the super, however it feels as though it'll be mighty luxurious. Also included in the picture below are some superb samples from Dinder1 - what a hell of a gentleman to trade with! He sent me samples of roasted coffee from his establishment Ristretto Roasters which smells absolutly devine, as well as a fantastically interesting cake of "Himalaya Shave Soap" made with shea butter and soy. This soap smells gorgeous, and is quite soft and seems to be REALLY packed with a high % of Shea Butter... I am crossing my fingers and hoping this will be a superior substitute for my beloved Will G Shea Butter soap.

Got the "Jaguar" Gillette I won on ebay today. Like most of you said it is definitely NOT a genuine Jaguar edition. However, at the risk of offending the automotive snobs, I am not entirely bothered because I don't even like Jaguar cars. I wanted a mint condition Gillette DE, and this was the best I could find. The tin, while nice enough for what it is (despite the Jaguar logo ) isn't even big enough to hold the razor, further evidence of this products lack of authenticity . As for the razor, it would appear to be the Tech I was told it was, a lightweight (aluminium handle) model but it is in perfect condition. pictures (if anyones even remotely interested) when I figure out how to post them.

Had a few minutes to wander around Madison, WI yesterday before my meeting. Found a real earthy-crunchy store which was selling Merkurs, etc. Picked up a Col Conk Almond shave soap and a Provence Sante' Vetiver bath soap.
