A real businessman

A clearly inebriated woman, stark naked, jumped into a cab in New York city and laid down on the back seat. The cab driver, an older gentleman, opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman. He made no attempt to start the cab. The woman glared back at him and said, “What are you looking at, honey, a...

Have tried the Chagrin Valley Soap 3-times now. Skin is remarkably better. Rash was pretty much gone before using but skin has really cleared up, better than before. Not going to use for awhile and see what happens.

First: Don't confuse me w/an expert.

Second: Been testing blades for a couple of months now, and am amazed at the number of BAD blades compared to good blades.

Third: So much for my thinking that older is usually better, maybe in some things, but modern blades are just a whole lot better, to me.

I found the Taylor's Lavender a thicker lather and don't care for it. Clogs up blade, have to carefully clean blade each (EACH) pass. Went back to Lemon Lime, using same amount and it did not clog blade. Live and learn, or is it, learn and live.

The application does seem a bit strange. Do I understand you use this bar to shower, rinse and then apply to dry areas of body. I'll have to get my arms around that. :wink: Or maybe its my mind that is the problem.
