Off on holiday today! Sat at Stansted waiting for a flight to Corfu where we've rented an apartment for 12 nights.

Just a quick shave this morning as I had to pop into work early to print off the boarding passes etc (bloody Ryanair). Used a dollop of one of the Wilkinson Sword cream with aloe vera and 'moisturising' and face lathered. Fairly dreadful yield of lather in terms of volume, glide and cushion. I'll keep the rest of the tube for posterity but need to find an excuse to offload the other to some misfortunate soul. I've tried several different tube creams since finishing my tube of Speick and none of them have matched up - Proraso aside. It's back to soap sticks for me when travelling: Palmolive is my accomplice for the next fortnight.
