It seems like the Fanzine fans are doing extremely well this month, but with ~66 total players and and ~9 consistently supporting Fanzine, there may be problems as the number of survivor brands reduce :) Bon Chance!

putting the tub kill on hold for the weekend to try my new soap! Since I've never used it, I used this brush because it doesn't retain a ton of water or lather making it very easy to lather with. It was easy enough, just had to add a little more water than with softer soaps as you'd expect. It smells wonderful and the lather is excellent. It's a great day for a nice fresh scent too as it's a whopping 75°F her in Minneapolis. Just a few days ago the low was -2.

Woah! It was in the low 60's here in Maryland. I liked 70th so much I bought the trifecta. Such a great fragrance!
