I'm sure I'll be beaming but you seeing me using it in just my pants () would be scared for life. Some things you can't unsee.

How many months of badgering did it take you?
Just curious

Did I say months? Sorry I meant years.

Finally pulled a trigger on FBU it appears to be a reputable ebay seller and advertised as full 8/8. Will se when arrive in month or two as I had to shipp it to friend in US seller didnt want ti ship outside of US. Anyway if it's full 8/8 that will be a monster.

My first ever jars of MdC arrived last week. Took them about two weeks to get here; they went to New York, then to Chicago, and then back into Europe (Naples, Italy). It was actually 20 Euro cheaper having them shipped to the States (taxes). The Citrus smells magical and the Rose is an earthy rose scent...I'll have to lather it to really appreciate it.

Quality is pretty good. Nowhere near the quality of the Stork's but for the money I'm pleased.
