You have yourself a GREAT trip @Mark1966....๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

Hmmm, just got my boarding pass for QF7 and it has the dreaded โ€˜SSSSโ€™ on it :(

A friend going to the same conference left Melbourne yesterday and got a free upgrade to Business - and she travels a lot less than I do - no such luck for me :(

Soap/Cream: P&B Imperial Rum
Razor: Rockwell 6C, Ikon Bamboo Handle (3)

Brush: 26mm TF KBBB
Razor: Bengall
AS: General Ledger
