And welcome to my shave with the theme 'Harrigammi take
2'
As if the Mills family didn't learn a lesson the first time around by returning back to the place of their original misadventure, then neither did I.
The Bolton twirl - Stainless Colonial General
The Ramsbottom rumple - Titan Mild
The Crumpsall crush - Alpha Wickhams Artic
The Waddington wad - MDC Fougere
The St Annes' scrunch - Goutal Monsieur
The terms used for each piece of shaving implement are of course all techniques used within the Lancashire art of Harrigammi. Paper crumpling may well be thought of as crude and rudimentary but it does actually involve some intricate and precise manipulation of the paper with a deft hand. A similar level can be achieved with toilet paper when being used as...... toilet paper.
The General
Being fed with a fantastic bit of team work from the MDC and the Alpha I wouldn't expect anything else other than brilliance from the Colonial. And yes, it delivered brilliance. I absolutely love the General razors and I have every good reason to do so. Biased or not. Or do I just know a great thing? To anyone going down the SE Road you really must try the Generals. Trust me. My wife doesn't, but I am being 'honest John' here. Dear John...........
What I will say though is one absolutely stonking great shave with wonderful end results after a hard day of grafting helping my son in his garden. What a useless git he is. He needs a 60 year old fogey to show him how to dig and pull roots up. Shame on you sunshine.
And that's what your happy mother thinks. And don't forget, I'm married to the joyful lady.
Harrigammi March 3
After a long conversation with the Lancashire arts society over the use of sellotape in Harrigammi I finally got the nod in their one liner
'Do wot tha fuckn' must lad'
So I did. And a very big welcome to the Harrygammi Mach 3 V8 triple blade razor. I worked hard on this one. The first blade forces the bristles up in to a position where the second blade can cut through efficiently and the third just removes strips of skin. A real winner, and a really unique 0 degree shaving angle.
More importantly, did it work. Once again I have to declare, 'It was fucking shite' and once again it fell apart when it came in to contact with water and what remained removed more than just 'swathes of skin' but bloody great chunks of.
A little more than anticipated and certainly took a few more styptic pencils than I had in the cabinet and several litres of aftershave balm.
I have decided to call it a day with paper crumpling and enjoy an extended life instead.
So I sign off with the usual and back to one of the bands which started me off down the road of Japanese ladies. Okay it is in the main the girly vocalist and the best looking cross dressing guitarist I know of, but hey, this lot have 'Wow!' value. Blood Stain Child. Enjoy, I always do
