Grand Ted! Before we throw another leprechaun on the barbie - in celebration - I don't want to piss in your Guinness - but it is worth remembering that Patrick wasn't Irish. Things are a bit hazy in the C.5th but best evidence indicates he was either southern Scottish or northern English, he certainly wasn't born in Ireland. Kidnapped by Irish pirates as a youth - what a fantastic idea - 'top o' the mornin' - me hearties. Ahhhrghh - so it is.' Dodgy antecedence is nothing new in British patron saints - Saint Andrew - Palestinian, St George - Turkish/Syrian/Palestinian - the only exception is Saint David - definitely - as far as the sources allow - Welsh by birth. So - all good - careful now - down with that sort of thing! Feck. - yours - I.

I'm surprised you have any walls left in your house, if you let Fr. Stack in! "He's not a very nice man, is he." And watch out for that hair thing it can be very contagious.

French Pink Clay & Charcoal Face Soap
Martin de Candre Rose Shaving Soap
Semogue SOC Taj (Boar)
Gillette Hybrid Tech w/RazoRock Radio Handle
Gillette 7 O'Clock PermaSharp Stainless (3)
Novaya Zarya Chypre Cologne

The Gillette Hybrid Tech is a very sure razor that really comes into its own on a longer and heavier handle. This combination really works for me, but I think the razor itself suits a much sharper blade.

Taj is now producing some really lovely lather, pulling up a really sumptuous lather with a very fine bead. Great cushion!

... and again, enjoying the heavily alcoholic Novaya Zarya splash. Chypre today.
 
Good evening men

Soap - TOBS Grapefruit
Brush - Yaqi Timberwolf

Second go with the Yaqi this evening on setting 5 which I think is a 2 in old money.
A beautifully thick lather with a great scent helped me have a good shave.
I’m pleased with the Yaqi Adjustable, two shaves out of two that I’ve had a good result.

Allegedly born near here, Old Kilpatrick, and taken by pirates who sailed up the river Clutha (Clyde).
Who knows?..........
