Actually yes.
But mostly cream-white, soft as silk, and she loves a cuddle.

Her brother is slightly bigger. At his heaviest he was over 9kg.
He's a striped orange tabby. Bold, yet smells exactly like a warm teddy bear.
He's pretty tough. Yet gentle enough that he allows my 5yo daughter to put clothes on him. If I attempt such shenanigans, I get torn to shreds.

Marvelous shave! Even though it's getting warm now, there's still a dryness in the air so I added in a squirt of aftershave balm yesterday and today's shave was much nicer!!

The brush was a delight, as was the Stirling soap sample.

OMG!! I've missed my Colonial General so much, glad to bring this baby out for a shave using the Schick Proline SE blade and the shave is very smooth.

Monday morning SOTD.
An interesting observation with the TOBS cream is that when loading from the tub itself, a brush with a larger loft doesn’t seem to pick up as much cream. The Atomic Rocket seemed to clump together quickly but it gave enough for a good protective lather.
The D plate just loves a few days growth. Or is that hates a few days growth??

That's a beautiful razor. Are GEM blades as good as Artist Clubs? They don't seem to be as popular/common.
And honestly, that is what has prevented me from buying a Sabre.
