Soap:- P.160 - Tippo Morbido

In memory of my dear departed father, who finally gave up the spirit after 2 year fight with lung cancer and chemo last week, I have been wearing a trimmed beard in the style he wore for the last few decades. After the service on Friday took to the beard like a hot knife through butter with P160 and Grifetto touched up on a thurry.

Sending my condolences @Holiday

 

[Holiday]

Condolences @Holiday A sad time for you.

Likewise, condolences mate

Take care

So sorry for your loss.

My condolences to your loss father, hope he had a great shave, before, departing to the glorious magical heavens of the Golden Gate.

@Holiday, Sorry to hear about your Dad, these things are never easy even if you have had plenty of time to prepare. Mine went in roughly similar circumstances last June, and am just getting around to thinking I might adopt his trademark Eau Sauvage now that it's no longer his turf...

Thank for your condolences Gents

Here's an evening view from my room (DoubleTrees by Hilton):

@Gargravarr if you get a chance (and without getting mugged) go for an early morning walk along the riverbed. The dry desert and cool morning creates a really strong natural Eucalyptus scent that is something memorable.
