Snow on a Texas Flock February 2, 2017 No Comments
Like many of us with backyard flocks, I've been anxiously tracking the forecast. In Texas we don't get much snow, but our temperatures can drop low! I had been hearing all week that the snow and ice would miss us, so I wasn't expecting much outside of freezing temperatures. Little did I know there would soon be snow for my Texas flock!
For that reason—and in true procrastinator form—I waited until the day before the cold front hit to winterize my coop and prepare my Texas flock. In my over-sized jacket, I grabbed a tarp, zip ties, and duct tape. My coop wasn't going to pretty, but it was going to be warm!
When cold weather comes, I usually surround the exterior of my run with tarps so that wind can't whip through the hardware mesh. Since right now I have young juveniles who stay in the coop, I decided to wrap up the coop portion instead.
I built the coop myself, and while I'm proud of my ingenuity, I didn't do a great job with making it draft free. There are significant gaps between the planks on the walls that needed to be covered.
My egg door was going to be a problem due to the large gaps between the planks of wood, so I folded a large trash sack and duct taped it over the door (I told you it wasn't going to be pretty).
With numb fingers, I headed back inside.
I woke up in the morning to the freezing temperatures I expected, and ran out to the coop to check on my birds. They were all safe inside the coop! The waterer had iced over so cleaned it out and refilled it.
Every year I debate buying a warmer for the waterers, but the temperatures always rise before I make the purchase. Thanks to my indecision, I got to pick ice out of the waterer with my fingers, brrr! I can say that next year I'll be more responsible, but the odds are not in my favor!
As the day progressed snow started to lightly coat the ground. Snow on my Texas flock!
Every hour or so I would venture out to check on my flock and their waterers. My tarp held up, so no wind or snow made it into the coop! I moved my computer by the window and enjoyed watching the snow fall while I answered my emails.
It was too cold for my Chick Pack juveniles to play in the snow, but my older girls loved it! I don't force them outside when it's cold, but I leave the door open and let them venture out if they feel up to it.
To those of you who live with constant freezing temperatures, my hat is off to you! May you and your flocks stay warm this season. Thanks to the crazy Texas weather, we will be back to 70 degree weather in a week.
Decorating Blown Eggs–and Giveaway! January 25, 2017 28 Comments
Decorating eggs can be year-round fun—and decorating blown eggs means you can keep your egg art in the long term.
Decorating blown eggs is a great project for all ages and abilities. With a simple and inexpensive egg blowing tool and some art supplies, you can enjoy year round crafts with your chickens' eggs. You'll also be enjoying lots of quiche, scrambled eggs, frittatas… Yum!
And we want to encourage you by giving away three of our one-hole egg blowers. (We've also put this on sale for our readers if you're not lucky enough to win!) Read on to see how to win a blown egg tool for your decorating project.
How-To: Decorating Blown Eggs
1 . Select the eggs you'll use.
You may use a variety of chicken, duck, turkey, or quail eggs. When choosing your eggs to decorate, it's fun to play around with different colors and sizes.
A large blue egg from a Super Blue Egg Layer can make a nice backdrop for a painted flower. Speckled eggs are my favorite to decorate with, although any shape or color is fine to use. Read the rest of this entry »
Small flock guidelines for FDA's new rules January 22, 2017 No Comments
If you keep chickens and haven't yet heard about the FDA's recent rules and standards changes please take a moment to read them. In this post, we'll provide some small flock guidelines and reminders to help you understand what this means for your pet chickens.
New rules set in place for increased food safety and security have changed the accessibility of many medications for your backyard chickens. Previously, you might go to your local farm and feed store to pick up antibiotics, but now, a licensed veterinarian is required to diagnose your chicken/s and prescribe antibiotics for your flock.
The changes and rules that make it easier for factory farms, now present challenges to small farms as well as people who keep pet chickens in microflocks. Veterinarians who see poultry are not easy to find in many locations. Many small flock owners are now realizing they may not have a vet service to go to in case of flock illness. So what to do if your flock becomes sick?
Before we get to the small flock guidelines, keep in mind your flock may never have a need for a vet visit. And there are lots of great ways to be proactive in keeping your flock healthy. My Pet Chicken provides wonderful information—for free—to help keep a healthy flock going strong.
There are also medications available you can get without a licensed vet—be sure to read the directive at the link above. But there are also things you can do to increase biosecurity and improve the healthfulness of your flock's environment.
Small Flock Guidelines for the new FDA Rules
1. Boost Immune Health:
The first of our small flock guidelines involves providing immune supplements. Do your research, and choose your favorite. I'm a multipurpose girl myself; I don't like to bog down my flocks' diet with so many different supplements. My personal favorite supplement for immune health is the RoPa Poultry Oregano Oil Complete. This product goes into your chickens' waterer on a daily basis. It builds gut flora health and helps reduce the need for antibiotics, among other things.
2. Practice Good Biosecurity:
Simple biosecurity procedures can make a world of difference for you and your flock. We suggest you read our detailed biosecurity guidelines. But generally speaking, you should try to be aware of the risks of cross contamination. Don't share equipment and don't take used equipment from other people. It's best to buy new items and deep clean them as often as possible. And reduce risks as much as possible. Keep wildlife out of your birds' area, and don't let your dear friends with chickens wander through your coop/run area. Bacteria, fungal spores, viruses can all hitch a ride on their clothes or shoes.
At MPC we practice what we preach: I personally have a pair of shoes I use specifically to wear out with the chickens when we're feeding and cleaning. I don't wear the chicken shoes to my friends' homes. And I use an aviary netting around my chicken fencing to keep out wild birds. Since we do a lot to keep the large predators away, it makes sense to do our best to keep the disease and pathogen carriers out of the coop and run areas as well.
3. Create a List of Emergency Contacts NOW:
It's a good time to identify the nearest vet that will see chickens—before you need one. Get that phone number on file.
If your search for a vet has turned up empty, we suggest reaching out to your local county extension office to ask their advice. They have many good contacts in their system to share with you. They may even have classes, or provide local warnings and advisories as to agricultural concerns in your area. You can also consider reaching out to any agricultural or veterinary school in your area to see if they have resources available.
Of course it doesn't hurt to have a good reference book or two for your library. The My Pet Chicken Handbook is great to have on hand because in addition to care, tips, recipes and so on, it has a section explaining how to make the determination if something you're seeing warrants a vet visit. For information about symptoms and overviews of specific illnesses, you can visit the Health category of the Help Topics section of our website. The Chicken Health Handbook is also a valuable reference on this subject.
My Pet Chicken wishes you and your flock the best health possible and a happy 2017!
Salt-Cured Eggs January 20, 2017 2 Comments
I am always excited to try a new egg recipe, and I thought I'd share this easy recipe for salt-cured eggs with you, too.
Salt-cured egg yolks are solid, dry cured discs that can be used grated, sliced, or crumbled, almost like a cheese. They add a salted creamy flavor to any dish. It's simple to do and will make any dish seem gourmet! So don't let those egg yolks go to waste.
How To Make Salt-Cured Eggs
Step 1: Select the eggs you'll use.
You may choose any size chicken eggs. For this recipe, I used eggs from my Svart Hona, Pippi, which tend to be on the smaller side. It's important to remember that the larger the yolk you use, the longer it will take to cure. You can see on our website how to cook with different-sized eggs such as you might get from your backyard flock.
Step 2: Salt-cure the egg yolks
Combine equal parts salt and sugar. I use 1 cup of salt and 1 cup of sugar to cure four eggs in an 8×8 inch glass baking dish. You may also add different dried herbs such as basil, rosemary, or thyme for an additional flavor.
Spread mixture evenly in the dish and make small indents for the egg yolks to rest in. Separate the egg yolks from the whites, being careful not to break them and place one yolk in each indent. Cover yolks completely with salt/sugar mixture. Then, cover tightly with plastic wrap, refrigerate for 4-7 days. During the next 4 to 7 days the salt helps dry out the yolks, and will also kill the bacteria that makes food spoil, while the sugar will feed lactobacillus (a good bacteria you might find in yogurt or kimchi).
Step 3: Rinse the salt-cured eggs.
After the 7th day, you are now ready to remove the yolks from their salt-sugar mixture. Brush remaining salt-sugar mixture off yolks and gently run under cold water until all of the salt-sugar mixture is removed.
Step 4: Complete the final drying of the salt cured eggs.
You will now need to pat off any excess moisture with a paper towel. Then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 150 degrees for 2 hours. You may also place in a dehydrator for a couple hours. Once done, the salt cured egg yolks are a perfect consistency for grating and crumbling!
Step 5: Enjoy!
The possibilities of this garnish are endless! The yolks will taste great crumbled, grated or sliced over many dishes. The yolks will stay fresh in a sealed container for up to three months.
One of the many reasons salt cured eggs appealed to me is that you can use them on so many different dishes. So far I have enjoyed it on salads, pasta, crumbled on roasted vegetables, and soups.
Have you made salt cured egg yolks before? What is your favorite dish to use them on? Tell us in the comments below.
The First Favaucana Dozen December 20, 2016 4 Comments
One of my goals with this year's spring chick order was to add some color to my egg basket. Up until now, I've only had brown and cream egg layers. So the first bird on my wish list to help me accomplish this was My Pet Chicken's exclusive Favaucana, with sage green eggs.
Why Favaucanas? Because besides the plentiful sage green eggs that I was anticipating, the Favaucana chicken was everything I look for in a breed: they're hardy, friendly, and docile. Also gorgeous!
I didn't need to wait long for my Favaucana girls to produce eggs, either. My black Favaucana Maisy Read the rest of this entry »
MPC Folks and Their Flocks of Chickens November 18, 2016 No Comments
Whether you are new to My Pet Chicken, new to chickens, a chicken breeder, or an old pro, you're probably very interested to learn about the flocks of other people as soon as you hear someone say they have chickens. Flock of chickens, you say? Tell me more!
Sometimes people ask me what I have because they want to compare flocks, and other times they ask me because they want an idea of what breeds I have and why I chose them. All chicken people eventually have this conversation with someone, and most of the MPC crew has this conversation daily!
For those who know us or want to get to know us, you can tell a lot about each of us by the flocks we keep. Here is your chance to meet MPC employees and their flocks that can tell you a lot about them!
I'll start us off on this journey through the lives of the MPC family, and their feathered friends:
Shannon's Flock of Chickens
I'm Shannon from North Carolina and I currently have a flock of 17 chickens. We keep ducks as well. Our chickens don't free range as we seem to have a serious coyote problem.
My birds range in age (1 year to 9 years old) as I add a few every year. Occasionally we keep a rescue, hatch our own birds or buy directly from MPC. However, we do trade birds sometimes and rehome birds that just never seem to fit into the flock dynamics. We need to keep the peace.
Currently we have one rooster, a splash Olive Egger named Pongo, and a mix of bantams and standard breeds. Cochins are our absolute favorites. I fall for birds with fuzzy feet every time. The rest are a mix of silkies, cochins (standard and bantam), Olive Eggers, Cuckoo Bluebar, Lavender Orpington, Welsummer and Black Copper Marans. We of course don't stop with chickens. We keep ducks, a bunny, cats and our bird loving dog, Porsche.

DIY Phoenix Feather Wand October 31, 2016 No Comments
We're just a bit geeky over here and we're especially fond of Harry Potter. My middle daughter wanted to be Hermione Granger for Halloween this year. We already had the robe and hat in the costume box, but she really needed a proper wand. What's a witch without her wand?
We had a few magic wands hanging around, but she wanted something special and she whittled this wand herself using a butter knife on a stick from our yard. She absolutely loved it, but left it on the floor downstairs one night. I accidentally stepped on it and broke it in half. (In my defense, I was carrying a HUGE load of laundry and never saw it.)
I fessed up as soon as she woke up the next day and my dear, sweet child wasn't angry at her mother. She decided that what her wand really needed was a special, magical core, just like a real wand and we settled on a Phoenix feather for her wand core.
Where does one get a Phoenix feather in this day and age? Why from our Easter Egger hen, Phoenix:
Of course, Hermione's wand uses a dragon heart-string, but we weren't able to find any dragons in time. Still, chickens are related to dinosaurs, so that's close, right?
If you have a phoenix breed chicken, that would work, too. Or you can use something for your own unique core. For our wand, we were lucky! Chickens lose a lot of feathers this time of year, so Phoenix didn't even miss it.
DIY Phoenix Feather Wand
I carefully drilled holes in either side of the wand:
Added our Phoenix feather:
Used my magic glue:
Abracadabra! A real (real?) Phoenix feather wand!
Saving the Flock from Hurricane Matthew October 28, 2016 2 Comments
Natural disasters are among most flock owners' worst fears. Actually, they're among our worst fears, whether we have a flock or not. They are sneaky, they surprise us with their intensity and power, and no matter how hard we try to prepare, at some point anyone could be a victim of a natural disaster.
Recently Hurricane Matthew devastated many in the eastern United States and beyond. In fact, it hit home for some of our own My Pet Chicken customer service specialists, me included.
Matthew worked his way up the eastern coast wreaking havoc in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, finally hitting North Carolina before heading back out to sea.
Where I live in eastern North Carolina we expected about 5-inches of rain and a lot of wind, but by the time it reached us it was only a Category 1 hurricane. For my family, and many others in the state, we had no clue about the level of devastation that was coming. We prepared as usual, most of us having experience with strong winds and rain along with the usual flooding. On my property we've hit the highest recorded flood levels multiple times in the last few years, but we knew our animals were well outside the danger zone on high ground, so we battened down the hatches and prepared to enjoy some family time.
Saving the flock and the animals
On October 8th, 2016 Matthew hit us with pounding rain.
It was windy, but we have certainly seen worse. Power flickered some, but we were not particularly worried. Around 2pm I went outside to do another check on the animals. I had been out only a couple hours earlier and other than rain our swamp was pretty dry, there was no standing water. I had my cell phone out (y'all know you would have too!) getting some video because now, just 2 hours later, the water was nearly as high as we have ever seen it and getting higher as I watched.
I walked toward the poultry yard and was soon running; our rabbit hutches had water in them!
I ran in and grabbed the bunnies, glancing at the chickens as I did so. They were wet from rain but that was the extent. The silly birds seemed to think their bugs are better wet, but the ground wasn't flooded in that area. But by the time I had the rabbits in a dog crate 10 minutes later the chicken yard was flooded.
My young birds were trying hard to keep their heads up as they started floating. Thankfully they still like their brooder house which has wheels and they were gathering inside. I grabbed the handle and ran for higher ground, pulling against the water that was getting deeper by the moment, finally getting them out and locking them in at the highest spot with our bucks. The older birds were trying to get on roosting bars in their coop but the wind had knocked open doors and windows and they kept getting blown off into the water which was quickly filling the coop. I grabbed legs, wings, whatever came within reach, running them to higher ground in groups of 3 or 4. The water was shin deep and I was barefoot; once I fell over debris I couldn't see in the churning water, dousing myself and chickens. They were shaking with cold and soaking wet but I got them all to higher ground. And still, the water continued to rise.
Breathless, I tried to catch my bearings when I heard the pigs bellowing in fear, and the goats crying. I realized our barns were about to flood!
I stood there stricken, not knowing what to do. There was no way to fit all the animals into our house. Hoping the chickens would be fine we started moving the goats and pigs from the slightly lower barns to our garage after quickly fashioning a makeshift pen. It was exhausting, carrying frighted animals one at a time, sometimes dragging them, screaming at them to move so others wouldn't die. Neighbors saw our efforts and joined in.
At 8pm it was pitch black out, the rain was still driving hard and the last animals to move from the highest pens would be the chickens… but we could no longer get through to save them.
We had been working in the cold and wet for 6 hours. There was nothing more we could do.
Bruised, bleeding and exhausted we stood in the rain and flood water hoping it wouldn't come up to our house. Roads were closed, we were stuck with no way out and praying the rain would stop. My heart was breaking, I had no hope left that my beautiful flock could survive the flooding in the barn. Even with the partitions being above flood level that they could fly up to, it was dark, they were cold and wet, and I had no hope they would figure out how to survive. We quietly went inside to wait.
The rain slowed, by 1 am the waters had receded quite a bit. I still couldn't get into the barns safely. We went to bed with heavy hearts to wait for morning.
I woke and hesitantly walked to the barns. The world stank from the flooding and debris littered the ground. The water was still high and projections were that the flooding would get worse for those near rivers.
Tears ran down my face but I had to look, to see if there was life.
There, in that little pen at the top barn, all my little birds were running to greet me! Following them I saw my mature hens an a rooster; I could hardly believe my eyes! I ran in and counted… we didn't lose a single life! Every bird was there; Captain Munch, Mr. Flowers, Mr. Fancy-pants, Sweetie… they were all there!
They found a high spot where hay piled up in the water, and huddled close for warmth all that scary night. I can't describe the emotions that ran through me at that moment, and then later as the days passed.
It's been hard, hard to have been lucky, hard to see the pain of others.
Slowly we are cleaning up. Heartache is everywhere with flooded homes, pets lost, family and friends swept away in the flood waters. We feel lucky to have not lost a life on our farm.
At the same time, we have a taste of the dread, the fear, the hurt that many are facing. There is a bit of survivors' guilt for many of us, and yet an overwhelming relief that this storm is over and we can recover. Its been two weeks since Matthew left. Roads are finally opening up, people are getting back to work, kids are going to school, homes are being repaired. On our farm the nasty smell is fading and we have been blessed with many lovely days of sunshine and fall breezes. The chickens greet me each morning, clucking and cooing as I fill their feed and water. At the gate the wind chimes make sweet music and the world feels right again.
Nothing will make us forget the feeling of helplessness during that storm, but many of us can look around and know that after the storm the sun always comes out again.
Pet chickens – how much you'll save October 23, 2016 4 Comments
I started my chicken journey three years ago. With my children glued to their iPads all day, I wanted something that would take them outside: and so came the pet chickens!
Some enter into pet chicken keeping with a lot of support from friends and family, but if you're like me you encountered some Negative Nancies! Raise your hand if you've had someone ask you, "Why do you keep chickens when you can buy eggs from the store?" Now keep your hands raised if, like me, you've spent more money on your chickens than you've saved from buying eggs from the grocery store.
Exactly. It's not always about the money.

The grossest egg your hens will ever lay October 21, 2016 8 Comments
While most of the eggs your hens will lay are going to be very normal, to start off October on a Halloween-ey note, I thought we'd take a moment to discuss the grossest egg you'll ever see from your flock… if you enter the Twilight Zone!
BWA-HAHAHAHA! (That was my evil laugh.) But the tale I'm going to tell you is true.
Hens will lay some strange-looking eggs from time to time in the darkness of their nests. Here's how it happens: Within their secluded and private nesting chambers, Read the rest of this entry »

Cortland Apple; After the many attributes of McIntosh were discovered, plant breeders began crossing it with other varieties to enhance its traits. One of the earliest was the Cortland, combined with the Ben Davis variety. Its flavor is sweet compared to McIntosh, and it has a flush of crimson against a pale yellow background sprinkled with short, dark red stripes and gray-green dots. Cortland has very white flesh and is an excellent dessert apple. This all purpose apple was developed at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York, USA in 1898. The apple was named after nearby Cortland County, New York.
I love apples and this year I just can't seem to keep apples around very long. Mr. Tastebuds is inhaling them one after the other as fast as I can buy them! Of course I'm doing a pretty good job of using as many apples as I can in baking and cooking.
My very favorite apple is Cortland. I discovered them about 20 yrs ago and I look forward to fall every year so I can taste my Cortland Apples again. The problem with Cortlands is that they do not store well and if you don't buy them by November, you'll have to wait until next year! I make sure that I get my share of Cortlands every year.
And aren't they gorgeous!
Apple Crisp is such a simple, comforting dessert and we love it. I found a wonderful recipe many years ago and I've used it ever since. The recipe is in the cookbook "Tested, Tried and True" by the Flint (MI) Junior League which was one of my very first cookbooks. I think I've made 90% of the recipes and most have been very good. "Tested, Tried and True" has been out of print for many years now but you can still find it on Ebay.
I know the recipes calls for 5 apples but the apples cook down so much and I like a good inch or so of apple with my crisp. So I use any where from 7-9 apples and just heap it up, just like I do for my apple pie. I also do not peel my apples because there is so much flavor in the peel and I do not want to miss any flavor!
Apple Crisp
Recipe adapted from "Tested, Tried and True" by Flint (MI) Junior League
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. white sugar
1 c. flour
1/3 c. melted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon
5 apples (I use from 7-9 apples and at least 2-3 varieties)
Option: Abt 5 TBL of butter dotted on top
Slice apples, leaving on peel. Mix white sugar, cinnamon and sprinkle this over the apples and blend well.
Pour the apples into the 8″ by 8″ pan. Just heap them up and don't worry, the apples will cook down and will not overflow into your oven.
Mix brown sugar, flour and butter. Crumble this over the top. I add tiny dots of extra butter too.
See how perfectly it cooked down and look at how much apple there is!
Bake 30-45 minutes at 375 degrees. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
I did sprinkle a little bit of what I think is raw sugar on top of the whipped cream. Does anyone know what it says on the bag? I love to shop at the Asian Markets but I don't really know what I'm buying?!?

Margaret Atwood's new novel can be read as the dramatic conclusion of the trilogy that began with Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, but it possesses enough resonance of its own to be read as a standalone. Certainly, as rendered by the talented Canadian author, the ongoing struggle of Toby, Zeb, Ren, and Amanda to survive in a post-apocalyptic world holds our fervent attention. (P.S. Atwood is renowned as the creator of literary science fiction. Among her honors is an Arthur C. Clarke Award.)

Bringing together Oryx and Crake and The Year of the Flood, this thrilling conclusion to Margaret Atwood's speculative fiction trilogy points toward the ultimate endurance of community, and love.
Months after the Waterless Flood pandemic has wiped out most of humanity, Toby and Ren have rescued their friend Amanda from the vicious Painballers. They return to the MaddAddamite cob house, newly fortified against man and giant pigoon alike. Accompanying them are the Crakers, the gentle, quasi-human species engineered by the brilliant but deceased Crake. Their reluctant prophet, Snowman-the-Jimmy, is recovering from a debilitating fever, so it's left to Toby to preach the Craker theology, with Crake as Creator. She must also deal with cultural misunderstandings, terrible coffee, and her jealousy over her lover, Zeb.
Zeb has been searching for Adam One, founder of the God's Gardeners, the pacifist green religion from which Zeb broke years ago to lead the MaddAddamites in active resistance against the destructive CorpSeCorps. But now, under threat of a Painballer attack, the MaddAddamites must fight back with the aid of their newfound allies, some of whom have four trotters. At the center of MaddAddam is the story of Zeb's dark and twisted past, which contains a lost brother, a hidden murder, a bear, and a bizarre act of revenge.
Combining adventure, humor, romance, superb storytelling, and an imagination at once dazzlingly inventive and grounded in a recognizable world, MaddAddam is vintage Margaret Atwood—a moving and dramatic conclusion to her internationally celebrated dystopian trilogy.

"Thoughtful, sardonic, and full of touches that almost resemble a fairy tale, MaddAddam will stick with you long after you've put it down. It's an apocalypse story about new life, and a condemnation of humanity that ends, however uneasily, with a celebration of it." —NPR
"MaddAddam is sharp, witty and strong enough to stand alone ... Peppered with witty neologisms, Atwood's character-driven novel is terrific precisely because of close attention to detail, to voice, to what's in the hearts of these people: love, loss, the need to keep on keeping on, no matter what ... [T]his novel sings." —Miami Herald
"[S]ardonically funny ... [Atwood] certainly has the tone exactly right, both for the linguistic hypocrisy that can disguise any kind of catastrophe, and for the contemptuous dismissal of those who point to disaster ... MaddAddam is at once a pre- and a post-apocalypse story." —The Wall Street Journal
"[T]here is something funny, even endearing, about such a dark and desperate view of a future — a ravaged world emerging from alarmingly familiar trends — that is so jam-packed with the gifts of imagination, invention, intelligence and joy. There may be some hope for us yet." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Margaret Atwood continues to flourish as she approaches her fifth decade of publication ... A thrilling and enchanting — funny, sad, clever, audacious — tale of grumpy, deflated, and perilous post-apocalyptic times, year 0.6." —The Vancouver Sun
"[T]he imaginative universe Atwood has created in these books is huge ... It's a dystopia, but it's still fun ... Atwood doesn't just ask what if, she raises an eyebrow and says, See where we're going? Yet she's not a pessimist: She's invented a future large enough to include, after the end of the world, people falling in love." —Los Angeles Times
"This unsentimental narrative exposes the heart of human creativity as well as our self-destructive darkness ... MaddAddam is fueled with edgy humor, sardonic twists, hilarious coincidences." —Boston Globe
"The final entry in Atwood's brilliant MaddAddam trilogy roils with spectacular and furious satire ... Her vision is as affirming as it is cautionary, and the conclusion of this remarkable trilogy leaves us not with a sense of despair at mankind's failings but with a sense of awe at humanity's barely explored potential to evolve." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Ten years after Oryx & Crake rocked readers the world over, Atwood brings her cunning, impish, and bracing speculative trilogy—following The Year of the Flood—to a gritty, stirring, and resonant conclusion ... Atwood is ascendant, from her resilient characters to the feverishly suspenseful plot involving battles, spying, cyberhacking, murder, and sexual tension ... The coruscating finale in an ingenious, cautionary trilogy of hubris, fortitude, wisdom, love, and life's grand obstinacy." —Booklist
"[T]ense and exciting ... MaddAddam is an extraordinary achievement ... Atwood's body of work will last precisely because she has told us about ourselves. It is not always a pretty picture, but it is true for all that." —The Independent (UK)
"[MaddAddam] deploys its author's trademark cool, omniscient satire, but adds to that a real sense of engagement with a fallen world. Atwood has created something reminiscent of Shakespeare's late comedies; her wit and dark humour combine with a compassionate tenderness towards struggling human beings." —The Independent (UK)

Read an Excerpt
The Story of the Egg, and of Oryx and Crake, and how they made People and Animals; and of the Chaos; and of Snowman-the-Jimmy; and of the Smelly Bone and the coming of the Two Bad Men
In the beginning, you lived inside the Egg. That is where Crake made you.
Yes, good, kind Crake. Please stop singing or I can't go on with the story.
The Egg was big and round and white, like half a bubble, and there were trees inside it with leaves and grass and berries. All the things you like to eat.
Yes, it rained inside the Egg.
No, there was not any thunder.
Because Crake did not want any thunder inside the Egg.
And all around the Egg was the chaos, with many, many people who were not like you.
Because they had an extra skin. That skin is called clothes. Yes, like mine.
And many of them were bad people who did cruel and hurtful things to one another, and also to the animals. Such as . . . We don't need to talk about those things right now.
And Oryx was very sad about that, because the animals were her Children. And Crake was sad because Oryx was sad.
And the chaos was everywhere outside the Egg. But inside the Egg there was no chaos. It was peaceful there.
And Oryx came every day to teach you. She taught you what to eat, she taught you to make fire, she taught you about the animals, her Children. She taught you to purr if a person is hurt. And Crake watched over you.
Yes, good, kind Crake. Please stop singing. You don't have to sing every time. I'm sure Crake likes it, but he also likes this story and he wants to hear the rest.
Then one day Crake got rid of the chaos and the hurtful people, to make Oryx happy, and to clear a safe place for you to live in.
Yes, that did make things smell very bad for a while.
And then Crake went to his own place, up in the sky, and Oryx went with him.
I don't know why they went. It must have been a good reason. And they left Snowman-the-Jimmy to take care of you, and he brought you to the seashore. And on Fish Days you caught a fish for him, and he ate it.
I know you would never eat a fish, but Snowman-the-Jimmy is different.
Because he has to eat a fish or he would get very sick.
Because that is the way he is made.
Then one day Snowman-the-Jimmy went to see Crake. And when he came back, there was a hurt on his foot. And you purred on it, but it did not get better.
And then the two bad men came. They were left over from the chaos.
I don't know why Crake didn't clear them away. Maybe they were hiding under a bush, so he didn't see them. But they'd caught Amanda, and they were doing cruel and hurtful things to her.
We don't need to talk about those things right now.
And Snowman-the-Jimmy tried to stop them. And then I came, and Ren, and we caught the two bad men and tied them to a tree with a rope. Then we sat around the fire and ate soup. Snowman-the-Jimmy ate the soup, and Ren, and Amanda. Even the two bad men ate the soup.
Yes, there was a bone in the soup. Yes, it was a smelly bone.
I know you do not eat a smelly bone. But many of the Children of Oryx like to eat such bones. Bobkittens eat them, and rakunks, and pigoons, and liobams. They all eat smelly bones. And bears eat them.
I will tell you what a bear is later.
We don't need to talk any more about smelly bones right now.
And as they were all eating the soup, you came with your torches, because you wanted to help Snowman-the-Jimmy, because of his hurt foot. And because you could tell there were some women who were blue, so you wanted to mate with them.
You didn't understand about the bad men, and about why they had a rope on them. It is not your fault they ran away into the forest. Don't cry.
Yes, Crake must be very angry with the bad men. Perhaps he will send some thunder.
Yes, good, kind Crake.
Please stop singing.
About the events of that eveningthe events that set human malice loose in the world againToby later made two stories. The first story was the one she told out loud, to the Children of Crake; it had a happy outcome, or as happy as she could manage. The second, for herself alone, was not so cheerful. It was partly about her own idiocy, her failure to pay attention, but also it was about speed. Everything had happened so quickly.
She'd been tired, of course; she must have been suffering from an adrenalin plunge. After all, she'd been going strong for two days with a lot of stress and not much to eat.
The day before, she and Ren had left the safety of the MaddAddam cobb-house enclave that sheltered the few survivors from the global pandemic that had wiped out humanity. They'd been tracking Ren's best friend, Amanda, and they'd found her just in time because the two Painballers who'd been using her had almost used her up. Toby was familiar with the ways of such men: she'd been almost killed by one of them before she'd become a God's Gardener. Anyone who'd survived Painball more than once had been reduced to the reptilian brain. Sex until you were worn to a fingernail was their mode; after that, you were dinner. They liked the kidneys.
Toby and Ren had crouched in the shrubbery while the Painballers argued over the rakunk they were eating, and whether to attack the Crakers, and what to do next with Amanda. Ren had been scared silly; Toby hoped she wouldn't faint, but she couldn't worry about that because she was nerving herself to fire. Which to shoot first, the bearded one or the shorthair? Would the other have time to grab their spraygun? Amanda wouldn't be able to help, or even run: they had a rope around her neck, with the other end tied to the leg of the bearded one. A wrong move by Toby, and Amanda would be dead.
Then a strange man had shambled out of the bushes, sunburnt and scabby and naked and clutching a spraygun, and had almost shot everyone in sight, Amanda included. But Ren had screamed and run into the clearing, and that had been enough of a distraction. Toby had stepped out, rifle aimed; Amanda had torn free; and the Painballers had been subdued with the aid of some groin kicks and a rock, and tied up with their own rope and with strips torn from the pink AnooYoo Spa top-to-toe sun coverup that Toby had been wearing.
Ren had then busied herself with Amanda, who was possibly in shock, and also with the scabby naked man, whom she called Jimmy. She'd wrapped him up in the rest of the top-to-toe, talking to him softly; it seemed he was a long-ago boyfriend of hers.
Now that things were tidier, Toby had felt she could relax. She'd steadied herself with a Gardener breathing exercise, timing it to the soothing rhythm of the nearby waveswish-wash, wish-washuntil her heart had slowed to normal. Then she'd cooked a soup.
And then the moon had risen.
The rising moon signalled the beginning of the God's Gardeners Feast of Saint Julian and All Souls: a celebration of God's tenderness and compassion for all creatures. The universe is held in the hollow of His hand, as Saint Julian of Norwich taught us in her mystic vision so long ago. Forgiveness must be offered, loving kindness must be practised, circles must be unbroken. All souls means all, no matter what they may have done. At least from moonrise to moonset.
Once the Gardener Adams and Eves taught you something, you stayed taught. It would have been next to impossible for her to kill the Painballers on that particular nightbutcher them in cold blood, since by that time the two of them were firmly roped to a tree.
Amanda and Ren had done the roping. They'd been to Gardener school together where they'd done a lot of crafts with recycled materials, so they were proficient at knotwork. Those guys looked like macramé.
On that blessed Saint Julian's evening, Toby had set the weaponry to one sideher own antiquated rifle and the Painballers' spraygun, and Jimmy's spraygun as well. Then she'd played the kindly godmother, ladling out the soup, dividing up the nutrients for all to share.
She must have been mesmerized by the spectacle of her own nobility and kindness. Getting everyone to sit in a circle around the cozy evening fire and drink soup togethereven Amanda, who was so traumatized she was almost catatonic; even Jimmy, who was shivering with fever and talking to a dead woman who was standing in the flames. Even the two Painballers: did she really think they would have a conversion experience and start hugging bunnies? It's a wonder she didn't sermonize as she doled out the bone soup. Some for you, and some for you, and some for you! Shed the hatred and viciousness! Come into the circle of light!
But hatred and viciousness are addictive. You can get high on them. Once you've had a little, you start shaking if you don't get more.
As they were eating the soup, they'd heard voices approaching through the shoreline trees. It was the Children of Crake, the Crakersthe strange gene-spliced quasi-humans who lived by the sea. They were filing through the trees, carrying pitch-pine torches and singing their crystalline songs.
Toby had seen these people only briefly, and in daytime. Gleaming in the moonlight and the torchlight, they were even more beautiful. They were all coloursbrown, yellow, black, whiteand all heights, but each was perfect. The women were smiling serenely; the men were in full courtship mode, holding out bunches of flowers, their naked bodies like a fourteen-year-old's comic-book rendition of how bodies ought to be, each muscle and ripple defined and glistening. Their bright blue and unnaturally large penises were wagging from side to side like the tails of friendly dogs.
Afterwards, Toby could never quite remember the sequence of events, if you could call it a sequence. It had been more like a pleebland street brawl: rapid action, tangled bodies, a cacophony of voices.
Where is the blue? We can smell the blue! Look, there is Snowman! He is thin! He is very sick!
Ren: Oh shit, it's the Crakers. What if they want . . . Look at their . . . Crap!
The Craker women, spotting Jimmy: Let us help Snowman! He needs us to purr!
The Craker men, sniffing Amanda: She is the blue one! She smells blue! She wants to mate with us! Give her the flowers! She will be happy!
Amanda, scared: Stay away! I don't . . . Ren, help me! Four large, beautiful, flower-toting naked men close in on her. Toby! Get them away from me! Shoot them!
The Craker women: She is sick. First we have to purr on her. To make her better. And give her a fish?
The Craker men: She is blue! She is blue! We are happy! Sing to her!
The other one is blue also.
That fish is for Snowman. We must keep that fish.
Ren: Amanda, maybe just take the flowers, or they might get mad or something . . .
Toby, her voice thin and ineffectual: Please, listen, stand back, you're frightening . . .
What is this? Is this a bone? Several of the women, peering into the soup pot: Are you eating this bone? It smells bad.
We do not eat bones. Snowman does not eat bones, he eats a fish. Why do you eat a smelly bone?
It is Snowman's foot that is smelling like a bone. A bone left by vultures. Oh Snowman, we must purr on your foot!
Jimmy, feverish: Who are you? Oryx? But you're dead. Everyone's dead. Everyone in the whole world, they're all dead . . . He starts crying.
Do not be sad, Oh Snowman. We have come to help.
Toby: Maybe you shouldn't touch . . . that's infected . . . he needs . . .
Jimmy: Ow! Fuck!
Oh Snowman, do not kick. It will hurt your foot. Several of them begin to purr, making a noise like a kitchen mixer.
Ren, calling for help: Toby! Toby! Hey! Let go of her!
Toby looks over, across the fire: Amanda has disappeared in a flickering thicket of naked male limbs and backs. Ren throws herself into the sprawl and is quickly submerged.
Toby: Wait! Don't . . . Stop that! What should she do? This is a major cultural misunderstanding. If only she had a pail of cold water!
Muffled cries. Toby rushes to help, but then:
One of the Painballers: Hey you! Over here!
These ones smell very bad. They smell like dirty blood. Where is the blood?
What is this? This is a rope. Why are they tied up with a rope?
Snowman showed us rope before, when he lived in a tree. Rope is for making his house. Oh Snowman, why is the rope tied to these men?
This rope is hurting these ones. We must take it away.
A Painballer: Yeah, that's right. We're in fucking agony. (Groans.)
Toby: Don't touch them, they'll . . .
The second Painballer: Fucking hurry up, Blueballs, before that old bitch . . .
Toby: No! Don't untie . . . Those men will . . .
But it was already too late. Who knew the Crakers could be so quick with knots?
The two men were gone into the darkness, leaving behind them a snarl of rope and a scattering of embers. Idiot, Toby thought. You should have been merciless. Bashed their heads in with a rock, slit their throats with your knife, not even wasted any bullets on them. You were a dimwit, and your failure to act verges on criminal negligence.
It was hard to seethe fire was fadingbut she made a quick inventory: at least her rifle was still there, a small mercy. But the Painballer spraygun was missing. Pinhead, she told herself. So much for your Saint Julian and the loving kindness of the universe.

Five Stars MaddAdam is exactly what the followers of this trilogy were looking for. This book ties all the ends together for us. It's masterful, and shows how well planned out this series was! I got the ARC on Netgalley and was planning to have my review up as soon as it was released but I'm so excited to finally have all my thoughts together. O&C really have us the basis to this story. We learn about Crake, and Jimmy and the whole world. Then we wait and wait, and finally Year of the Flood comes in and we meet more characters, the gardeners, a whole bigger world. We experience things more emotionally, it's stronger then O&C and it hurts more too. Finally, MaddAdam comes along, allow a final conclusion. It's a slow beginning but it picks right up where both books left off. Picks it up and starts tying it together. Each strand has been previously addressed and now we're hearing the stories. The stories of Zeb, the Stories of Adam, and the stories of Crake. We are finally getting all the little pieces to come to together and we start to have glimpses of what the whole picture really looks like. We've seen fragments, and some have been happy, others are sad, but we've been awaiting the full picture. MaddAdam is similar to Year of the flood in the way it's broken apart by stories like YotF was broken apart by the feast days in Toby's journal. I adore the idea of the folk tales, of the Crakes learning of themselves and of their world through these tales. Overall, this novel was wonderful, made me sob like a baby with Margaret Atwood's amazingly emotional storytelling and reminded me why I love her books so much. This is a stratifying conclusion to the whole trilogy, and though it's different, because it's told by different people and in a different section of time, it still resonates clearly with both of the previous books, and keeps the story arch strong and consistent! I really loved it, and am prepared to start all over again so it doesn't have to end. ** I was given this book through NetGalley as a reviewer. **
I read O&C while on vacation in June and got After the Flood when I got back, which I promptly devoured. It drove me nuts that I had to wait until Sept. for the third book! I've just finished it and it was AMAZING! I laughed, I cried...no, really! I'm going to read it all again from the beginning. And continue to annoy my friends by telling them to READ THIS TRILOGY!
Atwood is one of my favorite authors and this trilogy is one of her most amazing works yet. Some people are foodies - I guess I'm a wordie - and her sensitivity to the nuance of words and language and human nature combined with her ability to use this skill to say something thought-provoking and perspective-changing leaves me simultaneously awestruck and inspired to write. So seldom do I feel changed after reading something anymore. With her writing, I feel I evolve. That said, if you prefer tidy, uncomplicated stories with tidy, uncomplicated characters where the good guys always win and it is always clear who the good guys are - Atwood is not for you.
Fantastic alternate reality book that integrates a lot of interesting environmental and scientific issues.
This book follows the same format as the other two before it. A story line which takes you back through the past of one of the main characters (Zeb in this case) mixed with the happenings of the present. I found Zeb's story a bit more interesting than the rest but nothing that much more exciting that what was told in the past. All in all a good series which is interesting an a sci-fi way but if you're looking for more of a post-apocalyptic read where you see the end of the world this isn't really that type of book.
Love the series - must read them all! gimme more, more, more!
... if a touch sad at the ending. I find it charmingly clever how Atwood creates a story about stories, and fits it, quite naturally, into a work of speculative fiction. This MaddAddam series finale does a great job of providing the reader closure, and is another fine example of the author's craft-mastery. Thank you, Ms Atwood. Goodnight.
I have said those words to so many people regarding Atwood's Oryx & Crake, Year of the Flood, and Maddaddam. There is just so much good here. This book stands out in the series for exploring the nature of language, storytelling, and culture, while also continuing to offer dark insight on the current state of affairs, a vivid imaginative world of the future, and incredible characters. Toby is fascinating, and this book provides the most development of her, Jeb, and Adam One. So... you have to read these books.
Best read I have had in long time. Thanks Leah.

I can't begin to stress the importance of having a safe haven for families and the youth of our LGBT community. Having a place where questions can be answered, stories can be told without judgment and families can be brought back together through sharing wisdom and love, is key to suicide prevention and homelessness.
So many times we see across news feeds that another child, another adult, another life as been taken because in that moment that person felt wrong or alone. It's a chilling reminder that I'm lucky to be here today.
When I was a teenager I was rushed to the ER where I spent a full 24 hours in and out of consciousness and when I was stable enough I was moved up to ICU where I spent a few weeks. My parents were told I might not make it so at my bedside they held my hand and waited. So when I see those news feeds scrolling through my social, I ache for the families less fortunate than mine. It's because of organizations like Encircle that we are able to spread love, knowledge and courage in preventing yet another death or another person left on the streets with nowhere to call home. Its places like this that shape the LGBT community and take a scary situation and help turn it into something positive."

The Other Cousin(1962)
(The Dark Cliffs)
A novel by David Farrell
Soon after Kate Fielding arrived at Whitesands, a dark and brooding house on the Cornish cliffs, she found herself threatened by a secret from the past. Why had Philip Leavengate's wife fallen to her death last year? What connection had the dead woman's cousin with the sinister house-keeper, Mrs. Treherne? Why were both of them so frightened of a seemingly innocent young boy who came visiting at Whitesands? Determined to unravel the shadowy mystery, Kate found her new love - and her life itself - in deadly peril. An unknown, unseen force of evil began filling her days with horror, and her nights with unspeakable terror.

Halifax 10 Castleford Tigers 20
FIVE minutes of deft finishing ensured that Castleford Tigers maintained their winning start to the Tetley's Super League season on a fraught night for the play-off hopefuls at The Shay.
But for a purple patch midway through the second half, during which they scored tries through Damian Gibson and Wayne Godwin, there was little to separate sides who are expected to finish at opposite ends of the table.
Castleford failed to attain the heights they reached in beating Wigan Warriors and will be relieved to have got the better of a Halifax side that displayed great character.

Nice quality sheets.
I've had these sheets for 4 years now and they have held up super well. They still hold their shape and color after many washings. I'd highly recommend them!Read More
These are the best ever. I feel like a million sleeping on these sheets. The wife and I can't believe how soft, strong and comfortable these are. They look fabulous, fit perfectly and feel special. Worth every penny I went back and bought two more sets. Now go and buy you a set.Read More

No Lasting Quality -- Pilling and Poor Workmanship
I bought 3 sets of sheets 6 months ago and alternate them evenly. Two sets were from a national retailer and the other set was these Egypyian Cotton 600 sheets which were the highest thread count and the best bargain. On average they have been washed 8 times and slept on for a total of 2 months. The bottom sheets have pilled and are absolutely uncomfortable. The pillow cases are beginning to pill as well. In addition, these are the most difficult sheets to iron as hard wrinkles set-in, even if pulled directly from the dryer. The pillow-cases are difficult to iron and impossible to fold properly since they were sewn "out of square" -- even though there are only 2 seams!!! I noticed the label states that these sheets were "made in Egypt" which verifies the claim to be Egyptian sheets. A website about Egyptian Cotton states "The more you wash the fibers the more our product will relax and the SOFTER they will become." I'm not sure that pilling is part of the softening process. These sheets are now out of the cycle with the other 2 sets which have not shown the same wear charcteristics. The Egyptian Cotton sheets will be reserved for guests who stay too long.Read More
OK sheets
They sheets were ok for awhile, but after a couple of washes, those little fuzz balls started to appear and won't go away. I hate that. They did look great and matched my bed set perfectly. I don't think I'll buy this particular brand again. Nevertheless, Overstock.com is still a great place to shop. I've bought numerous things from the website.Read More
I was really having a hard time looking for sheets to go with my lavender/tan bedroom---without breaking my pocketbook. It was a toss up between these and another set---I'm so glad I purchased these. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality, color, softness and as an added bonus, it MATCHED the duvet cover I purchased awhile back on the "O". I did not realize this as the color on my monitor did not show all the details that are great on this set. I put them in the washer--on COLD WATER, DELICATE --NO FABRIC SOFTNER--(was told that is what can make sheets 'pill'--you know, those nasty little pieces of threads that stick up and are very scratchy) and then into the dryer on low heat. Came out Perfect--no Fading, Pilling, Shrinking. They are so soft and elegant looking. The people that leave bad reviews probably don't know about the washing of these kind of sheets---I admit in the past, that I would use fabric softner and they would come out all 'pilled' and scratchey. The fabric softner 'messes' with the threads somehow in the sateen sheets. Anyway--just a little tidbit of info for all you out there that end up with paying alot of $$$$ and your sheets end up 'pilling'. Paid a little more than I wanted too, but so much worth it---and still a lot cheaper than any department store. Get these sheets and watch how you lauder them---you will be very pleased. Love ya, "O".Read More
Bed Sheets
The sheets looked beautiful and were very soft, until I washed them. They lost the silky look and feel. I washed them according to the directions before using them and I was very disappointed in the quality. I would not recommend them.Read More
These sheets are worth every penny. They are very inexpensive compared to what you would buy retail from a store. Go with these non-sateen finish sheets. They do not pill up like the sateen sheets do. They launder well and feel great. I am going to pick up another set so get yours before I do.Read More

"I dont really like tie downs, as I trail ride, and feel theyre not safe if youre crossing water, but my horse started throwing his head and I didnt want to get hit by his head. So, as I hope a temporary fix I decided to use a tie down, but I wanted one that has some give to it, so my horse doesnt panic if he throws his head and finds out hes restricted. This tie down with the rubber dogbone in it has done the trick. If I have to use a tie down, this is the one I would buy again, and also recommend to any friends that might need one for their horses."

I am a travel/adventure writer and photographer, currently base camped in the amazing Northern Arizona Highlands, where I climb rocks, ski mountains, and paddle rivers.

I made a quick trip here recently and really enjoyed the Panorama Trail as a scenic workout run.
Visited this place for the first time a few weeks ago.
This trail has been touted as the most difficult hike in the US, the hike with most elevation gain, etc etc for a reason. It's a serious trail, especially in the summer. Don't take this on unless you are prepared and physically fit.
This trail is in serious danger of being closed off, either seasonally or permanently, because of the high number of accidents recently.
I did this trail today from Palm Springs Museum to San Jacinto summit and back down to the tram. While stopped at the parmit station I had a chat with the ranger, who told me there have been 4 deaths just this year and quite a few other rescues performed. The cause is usually dehydration and heat exhaustion.
Some of the most impressive pictographs on the river can be found on this stretch of river.
Native American pictographs can be found right next to Ski Jump Rapid.
The Cascades are a great run for paddlers looking to break into class V whitewater, but the Nantahala is popular year-round with beginner and intermediate paddlers as well. The lower section has regular dam-controled flows and the rapids are only class II, with one class III drop right at the very end called Nantahala Falls. People come to this river from all over the Southeast to learn how to kayak and practice their skills, so it is worth the trip no matter what your experience level!

The aluminum bats are nicer than the brass because of the weight, you can hold the aluminum in your mouth and keep your hands free, with the brass one it is to heavy to do that easy.
It's a hit!
Very nice accessory! Keep up the good work!
Great bat
Love this for sneaky smoking! Perfect
This little bat came with my dugout although i wish i would of picked up a Quartz Bat but didn't see them until my order was already complet.. but for a metal bat u cant go wrong with this one!
Ok in a pinch
Quartz Bat is the way to go but metal works ok
Lg bats
Bought 3 lg bats. Wks the best. No nasty paper to deal with. Saves on useage !!
Can't beat the price on this guy that came with an awesome Ryot dugout. Best part about it is it's more like a 4 hitter instead of 1 hitter. Wish they were all like this! Thanks guys.
It's a bat
This bat works really well in my dugout, which I also got here.

This decadent shave cream from gives you a mighty close shave without leaving legs devoid of moisture—and is made in the U.S. from eco-friendly ingredients. And, unlike its distant peers, this formula is designed not to foam up: instead, the rich lotion is chock full of organic and natural botanicals that soften skin. A moisturizing base of omega-rich squalene, organic shea butter, jojoba oil, and coconut oil protects against the redness and irritation associated with shaving, while organic green tea extracts infuse skin with antioxidants.
So, I bought wish shave cream about 6 months ago, I have been battling with HORRIBLE razor burn ...down there... and this stuff fixed that issue right away, it also cut down on the irritation in my armpits as well. It also left my legs nice and soft which is a nice change from my usual crocodile legs. I only wish that the sample size was bigger. I really like the samples that last for 2 uses instead of 1. Also, I am not super crazy about the lavender scent, but to each their own...5
made shaving worse, the pitch was that if you dry shave you really NEED this shaving cream so that you can have a soft luxurious shave.. this brand sucks, nothing I've ever used from this brand ever lives up to all th hype it's given, the shavong cream made my leg shaving experience so painful and it dried my skin out, which is the exact opposite of what he company claims it does, very dissapointed1
