Oh I would too. It's a sign of poor quality control. Why pay for that?

A very enjoyable FLS this morning. Forgot to post until now.
Yes! I'm ready!
Very nice haul! I would contact Rod for a replacement brush. That alignment error will probably always bother you.
I'm happy to go along with whatever is easiest here. I'm in favor of a solution that is simple and that offloads work from PBnT666, who has been more than gracious in keeping this going.
Wonderful SLS. Can't go wrong with Mindigo!

The earthy and woody nature of vetiver is another scent that I thoroughly enjoy. Like all SV scents (IMO), Desert Vetiver is extremely well done. A beautiful blend.
ATM, I plan to visit my son in France in late spring or early summer. I have not been to your exact corner of the planet, so I would enjoy the chance to travel there and to meet.
Well, the appalachian mountains aren't as dramatic as the alps, but they have their own charm ... bears, reptiles, insects, etc. I hope to do a little hiking in Europe. My son has hiked the El Camino de Santiago and the GR10.
