Such lovely, laid back, relaxing vlogs to watch. Thank you so much 🙏🪬😘 grow the beard and see if you like it, it’s you alone that has to live with it Nick 😘
Loved this video, cause my wife and I' s favourite activity was driving through France. we always chose "no tolls" and were never in a hurry. We just loved the rural roads , you can go at your own sedate pace and really see France and all it has to offer. We have done the trip to Toulouse 3 times and Lyon 27 times over the years. Also did it by motorbike 3 times, and a 600 cc scooter. Also back in the day it was great to do a day trip to Calais, it was such a lovely place to visit and has a cracking beach which goes on for miles. The condition of the roads is brilliant almost across the board too. Bet you can't wait to get back home to the warmer weather. We are at minus 5 at night in Scotland and 3 degrees during the day! I love all weathers so I don't mind, I like a challenge!
Thanks for the message. Yeah France is lovely and we have done the same as you many times in our old van and really enjoyed the little laid back villages of rural France, this time we wanted to get south quickly so taking the tolls was best option.. In Spain now and weather is lovely ☀️.. Sounds cold back there! Keep warm and enjoy xx
We travel from Alicante to Uk twice a year, it's actually cheaper to use the ferry from Santander/Bilbao to Portsmouth than driving using tolls and fuel, they have facilities on board for walking your dogs etc. Crit Air, order when you get home online, it's around 5 euros, takes around 3 weeks to arrive.
So brilliant in France the free aires. You would think they would put an honesty box somewhere as there doesn't look as if there are any cafes or anything you can buy in the village. France in the autumn is lovely.
That van looks great guys and really suits your lifestyle. Big shout out to Frank and Emily for such a generous act I know we’ve already said it in the past but hey it’s nice to be reminded. Hopefully all those storms down in Spain have passed by the time you return home they’ve really been through down there.
It’s called Clickbait and I think it’s a very dishonest practice. If people like you and your Channel and follow you, then they will watch your videos. I hate clicking on a blog with a title only to find it’s not what the title infers.
Nick has got his badger of 40 years, I still have my teddy Rufus from 74 years and little panda from 75 years old. All captured by my dad with his film camera and now viewed all these years later on my TV after manipulation. Can you imagine looking at yourself lying in a pram with panda or toddling up the path with Rufus.
Valencia, Barcelona and Malaga. My prayers are with everyone in my favorite country. I am watching Galicia which is where I will return to next year. Drive safe, flash flooding is An unseen danger. Hugs to both of you. On to Espana.
Hi guy's, good to see the sunshine 🌞 over there ( we forgot what it looks like ) Glad to say you missed the snow and sleet here in wales and now we have storm Bert to look forward to. Roll on summer...... Hope it's all good in sunny spain guy's, keeping it all crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞 Much love xxx Goatee Nick 😂😂😂
When i drove south through France, there was a parallel road next to the toll road with very little traffic, it was free and just as quick, it may have changed since then though
Hiya. Yeah we’ve taken the non tolls so many times in the old van Vinny through France 🚐.. They definitely take a lot longer! But there are sections that are pretty good 😉👌
@theexPAWers The only downside are the innumerable vicious speed humps through the towns & villages. Fine in a car, but as you know, in a van everything becomes airborne at anything over walking pace!
We always go, Rouen, Evreux, Dreux, Chartres and Chateaudun to Tours. All non toll and takes little longer than the toll. Take the toll to Poitiers then non toll N10 to Bordeaux. Toll to the border.
I'm glad you're through France by now because we are having quite a bit of snow from the north east to the center! Grow the beard, it's winter! Jo in France 🇫🇷
I found out about toll roads when I went to the USA, i was of the opinion that i wasn't going to use them my friends thought i was mad so i gave it a go, brilliant so i know what your saying lovely to see you back in France, its been freezing here in the south of the uk, come back summer!
guys. if you take the san sabastian route there is an excellent campsite near the border. its just off the highway but feels like a little oasis. the people who run the bar are wonderful and the tapa is excellent. doggies are well loved too. try the local beer. very very good! Camping Oliden
Its no good, i didnt realise i was in the least bit OCD …. But the trim on your shower cubicle has driven me mad, ever since you did the build 🤪 where you have the lovely blue, with white edging trim - the frim stops about 1 inch from the top 😆 and i see it every time it is in shot 😆😆
Sunshine certainly helps ones mood. France is lovely...sorry to hear of all the disasters in Spain. I saw some of it on the news but didn't realize it was so wide spread. Looking forward to a visit on Sunday.
Ngl you four are always as cute AF. Sarah’s hair fascinates me. I wonder who does your hair? Love Nick’s Mohican. Grow a beard. Why tf not. Nick hopefully you’re all better now. For future reference I recently had a sniffle sore throat thing and I realised I had some Jägermeister. I took a small shot I mean just half the lid (top?) 3 times a day and I was better in no time (it’s full of magic herbs). Obviously not if you’re driving lol. Safe happy travels guys. Sending love and hugs from UK 🙄💐👏🤞🙌🙏🌤🐶🐶🇬🇧
Hi Sara and Nick great video I love France . Nick growing a beard 😮I prefer clean shaven but go for it . Can’t wait for next video big hugs to to all including Charlie and dizzy 💕💕
nice to see you going back to europe, the reason we started watching you was because of the portugal stuff and then grew to love all your other content
Nick has such a lovable face .kind . Like a cute Disney chatacter when he smiles . Guess that's why Sara fell in love with him . But the beard might be kind of grey . But if you like it and Sara likes it ..why not ? 🧙♂️
Great to see you heading back south…I’m hoping that you may be calling in on your land in Portugal…now it should be looking green! I think Nick will look great with a beard!
Give it a few more years and your hair will be round your ankles, Gravity and age is cruel... Nick! My Husband is the same. Great vid guys after a stressful week My Washer died and was rather jealous looking at Sarah in the Laundry.. Look forward to Sunday if you are posting then.
Hi Both. Thanks for another very entertaining and enjoyable vlog. Can I just mention for future reference, when driving down through France (we live in sw France) that the A20 motorway south from Vierzon is free for around 290 kms. Towards the southern end you could use the A89 (toll road) to cut across to Bordeaux and rejoin your usual route. Just a thought for a bit of variety. All the best. Hope all is good at home.
Just log onto the government website and order a critaire. You receive email confirmation which is good enough. Or if you can find access to a printer the email contains a temporary sticker.
Thats nice you got to spend a bit more time with family before you left 😊 . Nick theres a flu bug going round In Europe. I been hit with it for more than a week ,still coughing sore throat . 🙏🤞 you don’t get it. Hope you not got too much damage in your Region .was absolutely heartbreaking to see the amount of Damage done 😢. Welcome Back to spain. Have a good weekend 🥰
Omgosh...we first had celeriac remoulade in France in 1975 and I have been making it ever since. It is a big brown sometimes "hairy" bulb that tastes faintly of celery. It is so delicious and has become one of our must haves with any holiday dinner. Another favourite was rillette but since it is made from pork, it is a no go for you. But holy hell...rillette on baguette is just incredible along with a side of celeriac remoulade. The thought takes me right back to cycling through France. So excited to see your land again. Onward ho!
Haven't shaved in over 50 years but keep it very short, same with the head since getting it cut really short would never go back to any other length. So easy to keep clean and fresh. 👍
Happy to see you going back home! Must be so exciting, especially now you have the land in Portugal! Look forward to seeing the next leg of your journey.
I wouldn't make generalizations about the toll roads in France... We drove down the other side of France about the same time through the fog and the services were PACKED!! On a Thursday as well... I think it was school holidays, but they obviously weren't going your way!
Love to watch your videos. Always interesting even when just driving and parking. The park- ups are so nice compared to England. So cozy In your van. The puppues are so sweet!!, Great travelers. Even In a van there is always cleaning and laundry days. A beard In the begining does not look so good..but once full grown could be nice who knows. We will still love you either way. Happy trails. Greetings from Québec Canada ❤️🐾🐾
To cover distances quickly we all ways use the tolls, they're mile for mile , or Km for km far cheaper that the UK m6 toll, also we find we use less fuel, did you not consider getting the ferry to norther Spain, then drive straight into Portugal? Re crit air, yes they last the life of your windscreen lol, I thought you could purchase them at certain garages?
Thanks to you I bought the Ecoflow power station. Should have cost£1,000 but using the forcing code got it for £600. Think I'll get the phone charger and the solar panels, thank you👍
My beard gets itchy after a week, and then has to go. It would be interesting to see how Nick will look with a full grown beard, but comfort comes first.
you guys need to take 10,000 UI D3 with K2 in the Northern Hemisphere. I survived cold London and Paris last winter with no illness despite metro coughers.
After a pop-up advert your video resumed...but I thought I was suddenly watching a re-run of Steptoe when I saw Nick's stubble !..Hang in there Nick..A growing beard looks tidier if you shave a nice neck line with a razor. Same with the jaw line and cheek-line ! I think it will suit you. 🧙♂
We live in Brittany, we got snow for the first time in 4 years today. Weather app said minus 1, feels like minus 10. It cerrainly was a very chilly wind
It looks so much better for van life facilities in France. I'm heading for southern Italy next week (in my EV, that has a camping mode). The CritAir sticker cost me about €4 including postage last year. I usually use the toll roads as it's such a long drive, but I'm wondering if i should try out a few of the toll free options. I go into Italy via the Frejus tunnel on the A43. Re the beard, I've never got past the itchy stage, so good luck with that Nick.
Hi guys Ah bless It’s always bitter/sweet saying goodbye to loved ones isn’t it Glad your on ya way back home to Spain. Grow a beard Nick, if you don’t like it you can shave it all off. My husband has always had a beard and moustache Take Safe journey Love Kim x x
i agree... and i have tried both... its lovely to wend a way and see rural France and vlllages but it does take foreever... TOLL as long as one avoids the big public places where people stop... there are other nice places to stop even on an autoroute which are amazing in France,.
Re beard , try the classic buzz cut hair( what’s left😂) and alternativo beard . It stops itching about 10 days in. Well for me anyway. Happy to see you back on the mainland
Thanks for watching everyone:) Van life UK is over and we're back in France, it's lonely but it feels good! Next stop - SPAIN :)

Sarah your hair looks lovely without the dreads much softer
Happy sunny days lovely folk x Really bloomin' cold in Wales now, you picked the right time to leg it to a sunnier climate.
We've seen the snow, very happy to be heading south. 😊
Flippin freezing everywhere!
You should give the ferry from Portsmouth to Santander, cuts out the whole drive through France, that motorway from Paris to Spain is really boring
Such lovely, laid back, relaxing vlogs to watch. Thank you so much 🙏🪬😘 grow the beard and see if you like it, it’s you alone that has to live with it Nick 😘
awwwww, Thankyou.. Such lovely feedback ☺️xx
Soo glad u guys were able to visit with Nick's parents 😊
Thanks.. Of course! 🥰
That French salad is blooming delicious, it’s actually celeriac not celery. Same family but subtle difference in flavour 😋
Lovely, authentic and kind couple and two gorgeous fur babies 💚💚💚💚
Another nice video enjoyed watching as always 😊Thanks guys 😊 and safe travels
Yes grow the beard I think it will suit you. I so enjoy travelling through France in a camper, it's just so inviting.
The UK has a lot to learn.
Loved this video, cause my wife and I' s favourite activity was driving through France. we always chose "no tolls" and were never in a hurry. We just loved the rural roads , you can go at your own sedate pace and really see France and all it has to offer. We have done the trip to Toulouse 3 times and Lyon 27 times over the years.

The condition of the roads is brilliant almost across the board too. Bet you can't wait to get back home to the warmer weather. We are at minus 5 at night in Scotland and 3 degrees during the day!
I love all weathers so I don't mind, I like a challenge!
Thanks for the message. Yeah France is lovely and we have done the same as you many times in our old van and really enjoyed the little laid back villages of rural France, this time we wanted to get south quickly so taking the tolls was best option.. In Spain now and weather is lovely ☀️.. Sounds cold back there! Keep warm and enjoy xx
You have it all going on, what a great life yous are living, keep up the good work 🎉🎉

Stop encouraging Greed.
That van looks great guys and really suits your lifestyle. Big shout out to Frank and Emily for such a generous act I know we’ve already said it in the past but hey it’s nice to be reminded. Hopefully all those storms down in Spain have passed by the time you return home they’ve really been through down there.
U scared me for a minute with the title I've been sick and thought u were totally done im glad to see not stopping 😊😊
Oh yes! Sorry, in the UK it’s over but we love van life so that will never be over for us! 🚐❤️
It’s called Clickbait and I think it’s a very dishonest practice. If people like you and your Channel and follow you, then they will watch your videos. I hate clicking on a blog with a title only to find it’s not what the title infers.
I think it’s Celeriac not Celery.
Yes it’s definitely grated Celeriac, not Celery.
That was a fun watch. Love seeing the scenery. Glad you are back to Spain. I am looking forward to the Sunday video.
Nick has got his badger of 40 years, I still have my teddy Rufus from 74 years and little panda from 75 years old. All captured by my dad with his film camera and now viewed all these years later on my TV after manipulation. Can you imagine looking at yourself lying in a pram with panda or toddling up the path with Rufus.
Very glad to hear that your village is OK. The floods have been so terrible for Spain.
So sad for the people whose lives have been devastating by the floods.
Valencia, Barcelona and Malaga. My prayers are with everyone in my favorite country. I am watching Galicia which is where I will return to next year. Drive safe, flash flooding is An unseen danger.
Hugs to both of you. On to Espana.
Yay, a Sunday video! Regarding Nick wth a beard, you'll look older ... but wiser.
Hi guy's, good to see the sunshine 🌞 over there ( we forgot what it looks like )
Glad to say you missed the snow and sleet here in wales and now we have storm Bert to look forward to.
Roll on summer......
Hope it's all good in sunny spain guy's, keeping it all crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞
Much love xxx
Goatee Nick 😂😂😂
Us too! Nice to see that big yellow thing in the sky again. 😂
When i drove south through France, there was a parallel road next to the toll road with very little traffic, it was free and just as quick, it may have changed since then though
Hiya. Yeah we’ve taken the non tolls so many times in the old van Vinny through France 🚐.. They definitely take a lot longer! But there are sections that are pretty good 😉👌
Look forward to Sunday's video!!
I love Sarah with the dreads and if Nick grows a beard that would be a 🙂👍 nice look. It reminds me of the 70's which was a good time.
Whenever we tour the continent we set the sat nav to avoid tolls. Brilliant. It took us eight days this September to get to Nice!
It's our first trip on the tolls, worth it if you're in a rush but you miss the lovely little French villages and towns.
@theexPAWers The only downside are the innumerable vicious speed humps through the towns & villages. Fine in a car, but as you know, in a van everything becomes airborne at anything over walking pace!
That sounds like a Tom Tom!
It only took me 6 days hitch hiking. and made new friends along the way.
We always go, Rouen, Evreux, Dreux, Chartres and Chateaudun to Tours. All non toll and takes little longer than the toll. Take the toll to Poitiers then non toll N10 to Bordeaux. Toll to the border.
Thanks.. Will make a note for next time! Sounds like you know the roads 🙌.. The tolls are great but all the way they are pretty expensive 😅
@@theexPAWers We have a house in Central Portugal so have travelled the route 3 or 4 times a year for the last 20 years.
First! Sat here with a cup of tea waiting!!
Whoop whoop😘❤️
Great vlog both . I let my beard grow for 4weeks before then styling /trimming to length. Itchiness takes me about ten days to overcome.
Thanks for the info, good to know about the itchiness. I'll see how I go. 😉
Glad see you back in your element. The continent certainly knows how to look after vanlifers! Pay attention UK! N&Nx
In UK the councils have no clue, except hatred for campervans which they are very good at.
I'm glad you're through France by now because we are having quite a bit of snow from the north east to the center! Grow the beard, it's winter! Jo in France 🇫🇷
I found out about toll roads when I went to the USA, i was of the opinion that i wasn't going to use them my friends thought i was mad so i gave it a go, brilliant so i know what your saying lovely to see you back in France, its been freezing here in the south of the uk, come back summer!
Tolls definitely. A lot of the villages have 20mph speed limits now. Either way it is a joy to drive in France. Great vlog as always.
Cleriac rather than celery and its gorgeous. Got some from lidl france earlier this year andits a real game changer 🤗
😊Thank you for showing us around Scotland and other places. I'm looking forward to the next chapter 😊 make sure you get some time for yourselves ❤
Thanks for watching! Lots more to come from us with brighter skies and lots more of this - ☀️.. Keep warm xx
guys. if you take the san sabastian route there is an excellent campsite near the border. its just off the highway but feels like a little oasis. the people who run the bar are wonderful and the tapa is excellent. doggies are well loved too. try the local beer. very very good! Camping Oliden

Love France for their van friendly towns and villages. I think the French take their vacations seriously and expect good and welcoming stops.
The UK is just a mess, they want money for everything, even parking.
Great video guys...it's been a couple of touth months but I'm so looking forward to Sunday 😉 take care ❤
Celery remoulade is amazing and also the carrot version ❤ loving the vlog x
Will have to try that one aswell. 😁
Do hope all will be well when you get home. Another enjoyable video, thanks. Not a fan of beards, but you can always shave it off 😊.
Ngl you four are always as cute AF. Sarah’s hair fascinates me. I wonder who does your hair? Love Nick’s Mohican. Grow a beard. Why tf not. Nick hopefully you’re all better now.

There's some great places in south of France , weather may not be great , but it's a great journey back to Spain 💛🙌
We love France but just driving though this time.
Have a break when you get home.Its been a difficult time.
❤
Hi Sara and Nick great video I love France . Nick growing a beard 😮I prefer clean shaven but go for it . Can’t wait for next video big hugs to to all including Charlie and dizzy 💕💕
Less than 5 weeks to Christmas 🎄 surprised you didn't stay till after. Safe journey 👍🐸
Maybe next year, we were missing the nice weather too much. 😁
nice to see you going back to europe, the reason we started watching you was because of the portugal stuff and then grew to love all your other content
Nick has such a lovable face .kind . Like a cute Disney chatacter when he smiles . Guess that's why Sara fell in love with him . But the beard might be kind of grey . But if you like it and Sara likes it ..why not ? 🧙♂️
Good luck with your new adventures!
Thank you!😁

Thank you. Stay safe!
Looking forward to your extra videos. Friends of mine winter every year at La Manga, and are setting off at the end of next week.
Nicks New Look - really didn´t notice until you mentioned it 🤣🤣
Hope Nick didn’t get more than the sniffles..let’s try the beard! The food always looks so good. ❤❤

(Was Beepy the Vellfire). Lovely to see you back in Europe, I hope your bit of Spain isn't too ravaged. 😢
Go for it with the beard Nick! 😆
Our village hasn't really been affected thankfully.
Thats nice you got to spend a bit more time with family before you left 😊 . Nick theres a flu bug going round
In Europe. I been hit with it for more than a week ,still coughing sore throat . 🙏🤞 you don’t get it.
Hope you not got too much damage in your Region .was absolutely heartbreaking to see the amount of
Damage done 😢.
Welcome Back to spain. Have a good weekend 🥰
Dizzy was funny with that apple core 😂🍏
It's good to see the sun and for you guys to feel it's warmth. Send us some back over to the uk please!!! Looking forward to Sunday now.
You are always welcome to stop in this village and have a bath if you wish and bring some food to cook or I can see what to rustle up...
Omgosh...we first had celeriac remoulade in France in 1975 and I have been making it ever since. It is a big brown sometimes "hairy" bulb that tastes faintly of celery. It is so delicious and has become one of our must haves with any holiday dinner. Another favourite was rillette but since it is made from pork, it is a no go for you.

Haven't shaved in over 50 years but keep it very short, same with the head since getting it cut really short would never go back to any other length. So easy to keep clean and fresh. 👍
Excellent, looking forward to Sunday xx
I would say grow some more on your head first 😄 but go for it anyway , lovely journey, scenery and great video thanks for sharing 👏 👋
Happy to see you going back home! Must be so exciting, especially now you have the land in Portugal! Look forward to seeing the next leg of your journey.
Personally I hate moustaches and not keen on beards but it’s your face so go for it. Do what makes you happy 😊❤
U dont need the crit air sticker as long as U apply its all good
Good to know for next time. 😂
It's so cheap and it comes in the mail. Hassle free. Just get it in order to be on the safe side. Its validity is unlimited.
Reminds us of our trip in 2019 with our 2 dogs in our old motorhome down to Spain 😊
Love the dogs ❤
great see travel vlog keep up the great vid on travels and stay safe and warm thanks for
share
I wouldn't make generalizations about the toll roads in France... We drove down the other side of France about the same time through the fog and the services were PACKED!! On a Thursday as well... I think it was school holidays, but they obviously weren't going your way!
We were just lucky then, UK services are so much better though.
Our favourite salad, it's Celeriac not celery and there is Carrot one too. Just lovely both of them xxx
Sorry to see you go 😢, but you left at the right time, we've had snow today.... its freezing ❄️ here in Dorset.
It's celery but not as we know it! It's celeriac in France a round nobly green vegetable. I love it because of its mildness.
Go for the beard you can match Dizzie 😂🤣 buy some beard oil to help with the itching. Safe journey home. Sara love the crocs in the shower. x
Thanks for the tip, think the beard will be a dizzee colour match. 😂
I'm not a great fan of beards, but if Sarah's happy that's all that matters!
Same here and if it is neat and tidy if you want to keep it can't stand those long bushy numbers!
Love to watch your videos. Always interesting even when just driving and parking. The park- ups are so nice compared to England. So cozy In your van. The puppues are so sweet!!, Great travelers. Even In a van there is always cleaning and laundry days. A beard In the begining does not look so good..but once full grown could be nice who knows. We will still love you either way. Happy trails.

To cover distances quickly we all ways use the tolls, they're mile for mile , or Km for km far cheaper that the UK m6 toll, also we find we use less fuel, did you not consider getting the ferry to norther Spain, then drive straight into Portugal? Re crit air, yes they last the life of your windscreen lol, I thought you could purchase them at certain garages?
Would love to get the ferry but you have to book months in advance for a pet cabin unfortunately. 😔 Agree with you on using less fuel.
Thanks to you I bought the Ecoflow power station. Should have cost£1,000 but using the forcing code got it for £600. Think I'll get the phone charger and the solar panels, thank you👍
Awesome! Yeah EcoFlow make fantastic products, top quality and great customer service too, highly recommend😊
Exactly the same wheeltrims that I've got, looking good.take care you two, and the doggies.
Put some plastic ties on your wheeltrims because you don't want to lose one like I did, bought another set now I've got three spare ones ha ha.
My beard gets itchy after a week, and then has to go. It would be interesting to see how Nick will look with a full grown beard, but comfort comes first.
I have never ever grown a beard but hey ho each to their own,enjoy the warmth guys
you guys need to take 10,000 UI D3 with K2 in the Northern Hemisphere. I survived cold London and Paris last winter with no illness despite metro coughers.
Will look into that, thanks.
Check the info of ZOE, the big med study of the UK, and their podcasts before. There's a recent episode about "vitamin" D.
Daw enjoy following your journeys keep a look out for you.
After a pop-up advert your video resumed...but I thought I was suddenly watching a re-run of Steptoe when I saw Nick's stubble !..Hang in there Nick..A growing beard looks tidier if you shave a nice neck line with a razor. Same with the jaw line and cheek-line ! I think it will suit you. 🧙♂
Only a week or so for beard to get unscratchy 😊 GREAT MOVE getting back to soooo much less depressing location 😎
Ok.. Thanks for that, should be passed the itchy stage now the😅..
Itch varies for most people buy you can't really judge what it will look like for about 3 months! Hang in there😊
We live in Brittany, we got snow for the first time in 4 years today. Weather app said minus 1, feels like minus 10. It cerrainly was a very chilly wind
In the algarve Portugal suns out in shorts and T-shirt,your definitely heading in the right direction
The drone shots are beautiful! I want to be there!!!
Thanks so much. 😁
Sara ! It's nice. So long as you can still see Nick's lovely brown eyes. Ha ha Angela
It looks so much better for van life facilities in France. I'm heading for southern Italy next week (in my EV, that has a camping mode).

Hi guys
Ah bless
It’s always bitter/sweet saying goodbye to loved ones isn’t it
Glad your on ya way back home to Spain.
Grow a beard Nick, if you don’t like it you can shave it all off.
My husband has always had a beard and moustache
Take
Safe journey
Love Kim x x
So true, if family moved to Spain it would be perfect but not too close. 😂
i agree... and i have tried both... its lovely to wend a way and see rural France and vlllages but it does take foreever... TOLL as long as one avoids the big public places where people stop... there are other nice places to stop even on an autoroute which are amazing in France,.
Back on the road again take care be safe. ❤😊
As a bearded man, 👍🍻. It’s awesome. See what you get.
Re beard , try the classic buzz cut hair( what’s left😂) and alternativo beard . It stops itching about 10 days in. Well for me anyway. Happy to see you back on the mainland
Plus side with a beard in winter is it keeps your face warm minus side if you like jam dougnuts with sugar it can easily cover your beard
