2nd shave in 12 hours. There wasn't much there, but as @[email protected] says, there were just as many hairs.
The lather was really great. It made me wonder, do you think Stirling been slowly improving their base over time? They're sort of famous for not coming out with new bases, but that doesn't mean they can't tweak stuff here or there without us noticing. Frogs in boiling water, so to speak.
That guy's onto something!
Good question. Can you ask Rod during the next Maggard meet?
That depends on if I can go or not!
I'm planning to go. I'll Rod ask if I can get a word in. At the last meetup, he and Mandy were swamped with people at their table. I had a bunch of questions that I wanted to ask, and I wanted to thank Rod for helping with the Moar Boar. I got the thanks in, bought some coffee and bar soap, then had to move on so they could talk to someone else.
