Hiya Dave! Glad to hear that things are going well in your world!
Well, fella, I have no advice regarding the other stuff. My own preference is for good old H, but the plastic stuff will do in a pinch. I prefer smoothness and none of the little bumps and such. Something small and unobtrusive..they make them small as lipsticks you know.
Maybe Jenny will have some good advice.
At any rate, I'm so happy that things continue to go well.
