Grooming Dept

Am reminded of the movie: A Fish Called Wanda.  Its primary contribution to the ascent of mankind was the exchange between the main characters wherein they revealed life’s primary truth:

Wanda Gerschwitz: You think you're an intellectual don't you ape?
Otto West: Apes don't read philosophy!
Wanda Gerschwitz: Yes they do, they just don't understand it!

Have wrestled with that selfexposing truth ever since and, if we are quite honest with selves, finding it characterizes our leadership at every level since the 70s - highly credentialed yet totally inept, failing at every critical opportunity while never selfdoubting nor selfaware.

I shaved with Kairos beta 4.7 today and I had an excellent shave - that stuff is just excellent.  I used the beta version because that's the only Kairos I have - I'm guessing my order is held up at customs right now - I keep imagining all these well groomed customs agents walking around with big smiles and smooth faces!!   Hopefully I get it soon.  

.....

I also participated as a tester in the development of Kairos. Of the beta versions I tried, Kairos beta 4.7 was my favorite. However, Mo tells me that most of the other testers preferred later renditions. As usual, YMMV rules the day. The only issue I had with 4.7 was that it was so soft it could have been sold as a cream. I would have gladly purchased it as a cream as the performance was phenomenal. The release version is a superb soap, but I am glad I still have a little of the beta version left.

Yes, its quite soft so I use a small plastic scoop to obtain thew amount I need and smear it into my lather bowl.  I can't imagine how the release version is better, hopefully I'll be able too compare soon.  In the meantime though, I'm enjoying what I have.

On the subject of Apes and movies, my favourite line is Charlton Heston's on the beach in the original Planet of the Apes.

As was it with Adam Reed:

Hi mrlandpirate I'm delighted you enjoy the new soaps. Thank you for your business.

I must say, I'm obsessed with making soaps. I keep spending all my time thinking about and making soaps I'll try to get the serums and the other post-shave products I have been talking about done and available on the next soap release.

I picked up my package from GD at the Post Office yesterday - it took close to 3 weeks and the package was totally crushed!  I think the postal guys were playing WWF with it and delivered the People's Elbow off the top rope    The good news is the contents were undamaged    I will now get to try the production version of Kairos and compare it to the 4.7 that I have.

Thanks Mo, this latest release is beautiful

Mo, are you going to have pre-shave in stock, soon?
