We've been having some very bad flooding recently, so I have been trying to donate as much canned/ dried foods and uht milk as possible over the past few weeks.

That's a shame Lee, I hope it stops soon and doesn't do too much damage, we'll done on the donations too, I'm a huge advocate of local people helping local people, these big charities are just in it for the paycheck

@johnshaves101 sadly, you are spot on. I can remember being heartbroken by how little the big charities did in Cambodia in the late 90s.

Nice shave. I like my pearl k2. It is mild your right. But in my work, i tend to shave daily. So mild works. Now i find using the short handle, changes the shave a bit. Not sure why. Now the soap. Im not into real floral scents. My own sotd was my rockwell 6c, with a derby blade. And tobac soap and finished with old spice. Have a great weekend

Nice shave Andrew, I'm looking forward to a kai and the short handle new 😁😁👍🏻, great shave too, I need to dig out my tobac 👍🏻👍🏻, have a great week

I am like you. I like lavender as a contributing element, but not the prevalent note, as it gives me headaches.

You did okay! That razor sounds like a good one for the new wet shaver. For me, it's not so much if a razor is mild as it is if it has positive blade exposure. That's why the Rockwell 6S is my favorite. The R5/R6 plate isn't too aggressive but the R4 is just right since I'm an everyday shaver. All the best in the week ahead.

Nice shave John! I'm also not a fan of lavender being the main scent note in a soap or splash. But it's nice when it's a supporting note 😎👍 My last SOTD: Fine Aquamarine soap (used as a shave stick) and splash, WCS Honeycomb synthetic brush, and the Parker Semi-slant with a RK Stainless blade. Have a good one! Steve
