Well, Almond Leather was the last of my HoM soaps. I was able to use each of them this month. Great scent! (But you knew that.) The Frio 14 delivered a terrific shave with feather-light comfort, as expected. I'm grateful to have this as part of my "14" collection.
It's a holiday here in the states. My cascading priority interrupt controller has been put into simple interrupt mode so I have little control over my time. If you're celebrating, enjoy your holiday.

Happy thanksgiving!
Thank you! Here's a little American erudition on that topic.
