March Madness In August? The Scent-Free Shave Soap Competition Begins

Podcast
Due to circumstances beyond his control Joe Borrelli's regular Wet Shaving Talk podcast can't be posted this week. In its place I've posted the next Shootin' And Shavin' podcast early.
BTW I'm now offering a transcript for this and future podcasts! They're a great way to "browse" a podcast if you don't have the time to listen, or to get the content if you're deaf or hard-of-hearing.
