My first shave with Sandlewood

I just managed to get my hands on the QED sandlewood soap and IMO it has the best scent of all of Charles' soaps. And I am not even partial to sandlewood, but I found this scent to be very pleasing.

I've been using Marvis with an Oral B for about a month and I am sold on it. Just ordered some more. It is far less sweet than American toothpastes, the mint flavors are intense, and best of all, if you brush your gums as well as your teeth, it leaves that marvelous cool feeling after you rinse.
