      I was thinking it was 'do', but checked Lando'c post and it said 'due' so I figured the 'merican 'd know best… Should've known better, of course  😛

        I had been growing it for 2.5 years with only 1 trim. Yes I am sad to see it go but it was time for a change and there are others that could benefit from it more than myself. As far as "Due", I meant "Hair-Do" as shubs said. Thank you all and a HUGE thanks to Vinneus who none of this would be possible without!

          Thanks all for explanation of "due", it makes sense now realising that you pronounce "due" and "do" same way, whereas we pronounce "due" same as "dew".  ("Two countries separated by a common language" - George Bernard Shaw)

          Just conscious as I get older that I don't keep up with all the current expressions used and don't want to make a complete idiot of myself!  Any of you watch "Modern Family"?  In the first episode of recent series (first series I think) the dad is explaining what a "cool" dude dad he is and how he knows all the text acronyms the "kids" use - anyone seen this?  It's so embarrassing and cringeworthy, and so hilarious.

          Anyway, once again, new Landocal look is great, well done to you and Vinneus.

              Course I don't mind you calling me Paula, am delighted (and it makes a nice change from most of the names G calls me!)

              Glad you're a fan of Modern Family, and I agree it is fucking hilarious.

              ??? OMG, just used the F word online for the first time in my life!  I am such a wuss.

                That won't help the Americans. They pronounce dew, due, do and doo (as in shoobi-doo) all the same. 🙂

                Things had to be simplified here because there were so many people from so many countries. They had to get on the smallest common denominator.

                  "doo" usually means shit – as in crap. Like "dog doo".

                      And I know you don't approve TFAR, so no response needed from you 😉

                            Fucking marvelous news!

                            This stuff works wonders (as detergent) and it the cleanest smelling stuff to ever entre my nose:
                            http://www.drbronner.com/DBMS/SAL.htm

                            All the bar soaps are great (normally I opt for peppermint or unscented) and I'm actually interested to try the shaving gels, so if that sounds like something you like to pick up and start to carry, G, you can expect me to be a loyal customer.  Most major markets in the states have only just started carrying Doc Bronners, but I've yet to find that shaving gel.

                                        Huh? Why wouldn't I approve? Did I ever say anything against Dr. Bronner? I own and use it myself. Good stuff. Not too expensive, natural, works well, smells good. What's not to like? Why shouldn't I approve? Please explain.

                                          So I just tried shaving with the Citrus Bronner soap. Used a rather stiff super badger brush to whip up a lather in a ceramic bowl.

                                          Result: Smooth shave with skin not too dried out (often a risk when shaving with normal soap).

                                          BUT: The foam doesn't have good staying power and doesn't have a very good consistency. It is too bubbly. One must use very minimal amounts of water only. It works better to generate foam on the beard than in the bowl. Because it has no staying power it is hard to leave the foam on for a minute or two before shaving, as is recommended. Since it is so thin, the gliding properties are not optimal, either.

                                          So it's not much of a luxurious shaving experience as you can get with dedicated products. You can really tell the difference here. But it gets the job done.

                                          For traveling when you want just a single product for body, hair, shaving and laundry it's definitely great. I said before that I'm not hardcore enough to use it as toothpaste again after trying it out.

                                          Till
