Washpool Farms, complete with environmentally sound "bubble" wrap!.

The large bag is 1kg of random soap seconds/end of run etc for $30.

Men's grooming bar is a sample. Supposed to be a one soap does all body/hair/shave. But is it a jack of all trades, master of none? We will see.

That deodorant has me interested, have you tried it before ? How does it perform 'on the job' ?

I missed it in a BST and I remember you mentioning how good it was so I thought I would dive into a couple of tubs, a really nice fragrance from the puck and it has that 'this is going to make a seriously good lather' look about it.

Might have swapped for the MdC I missed 'cause SOMEBODY swooped on it.

Oh, and 'some Italian soap' that they got as well ;)

From my recollection of events, you in fact encouraged me to do the swooping, so needs-must in this instance and I further recollect you already have a tub of said Italian soap picked up in person during one of your European sojourns.

I feel some slight, if fleeting regret now using my dexterity and youth to in effect pounce on the two prize items in the offered lot if that's any consolation.

I have taken a bit of a shine to 'that Italian soap' as upon closer inspection, it seems to be an excellent soap which I am really eager to use, it has a very subtle and nuanced nose from the tub which is always a good sign and a consistency much like AdP in the tub. I pounced on the MdC I have a Fougère on order from them and due to the costs, could not afford both the original and the one I ordered.

No, I've not used these before but if you believe the marketing it's been tested and proven. I've been using an unscented Men's Science one for a while, which IS very good but it is also very expensive. I saw these on the web site priced very well I thought to give them ago. At this time of year I will know very quickly.

Well I encouraged you to take a second bite. Your 'dexterity and youth' had already seen you jump on the most prized of the spoils and I was left to pick up the Valobra crumbs. Generous of me really not to corner the SMN market though. :)

Don't worry, I will eek out my remaining MdC for a little while still ...

I checked it out a bit more last night, they have not included an anti-perspirant compound in it for whatever reason so I am not sure how it will perform out on the park, or on 'the workbench' for that matter.
 
Been quite a day for deliveries it seems today!

What was in your daily package @todras ;)

No they haven't, you will still sweat. Nothing wrong with that unless you are prone to "wet spots" but a singlet will help there. The smell comes from the bacteria, not the sweat. It is anit-oderant, not a anti-perspirant. At least with the Mens Science one, it is designed to kill the bacteria the live on the sweat and create the stink (not cover it up - deoderant) whilst allowing the body to do what it does naturally. Post training ride today all smelt good but not a rigorous test as it was only 1.75hrs duration.

It was a little quiet today, just a Valobra Cologne puck and actually as someone trounced me on a recent BST and some EO's.

The property market has been quite hot before Australia day, limiting my internet time this week :(
