Just for you, my good sir. And to prove you've watched it, I expect a reply with the answer as to how much the black pudding costs.

Ok now Big G (named after a huge US cereal company called General Mills), let me get this straight. You are saying what I just watched is good? All of it or just one part? Heh, doesn't matter. I didn't see anything like that at all.
Man, that was tough to hear. Thank God there was no video as well (slight shudder). As it is, I may have bad dreams. Eeeks!
Sounded like 18 pence was the price. I was soo glad I finally heard it at the end, since I was dreading having to go back and listen again. Whew.

Gairdner said:Well, I couldn't resist a wee lather at it so nipped upstairs before my tea. A wee run under the hot tap for my brush and probably 15 to 20 seconds of working the soap in a circular motion. The label advises 'wiping' the brush across the soap then using the hand or a small bowl to lather so I just used me hand (as bloody usual, grrr ) and it fairly exploded with lather. Obviously the lather has got to last and feel good on the skin with plenty cushion and glide so I painted my face but left out my neck and waited a minute or so. No noticeable degradation of the lather and it smells great - woody and masculine but not overpowering. I then did a single wtg pass and first impressions are good. Realistically, it'll take a few shaves to evaluate properly and remember I have very soft Scottish water but so far so good. Despite the low price it feels and smells fairly luxurious albeit in a very traditional manner.

Gairdner said:Not had me shave yet as I've been out making a mess in the 'gairden' again. In fact referring to it as a garden is rather stretching the description somewhat; bog is more like it. Anyhoo, if tha buys six soapies, them's £2 each and second class delivery is £2.20 making £14.20 in total. I don't know of any other British made shaving soap with such value. Though naturally, if it turns out to be keech, it doesn't matter how cheap it is.
