Well done Ian -- you are getting the knack. FYI - MWF works nicely with Coral or Sandalwood Skin Food as well.

Progress/NOS WS LB
SMF III
Harris lavender soap
Lucky Tiger tonic
T&H Spanish Leather (old formulation)
Cool enough to break out the Spanish Leather, a nice crisp Fall morning. Plus, I actually didn't use my Sabrooney brush, and somehow was still able to shave. Miraculous.
