'The devil will find work for idle hands to do' or so sang The Smiths. In my case the devil was just idle and his hands just didn't want to work. A plus point to being in such a lowly exulted position. Hence it took me from Friday through to the early hours of this morning to even lift a razor. By jolly the weight of this thing.
And so here it is my first entry for this new week of SOTD's and one themed, 'Idle hands and hand jobs'
Handyman - 3ONE6
Handylady - Polsilver Super Iridium
Handywork - AP Shaving 24mm Cashmere
Handycream - Signature Hibernia
KY gel - Botanics moisturiser
RCA - Razor Control Assessment
'As we can see on this computer generated graphical interpretation, it becomes apparent that at the point of shaving around the chin, the blade experiences a deflection and the cutting angle changes from 32.6⁰ to 37.15⁰. As a consequence the removal of facial bristles effectively decreases and the inversely proportional residual hair increases by a factor of 0.9825%'
'Aye lad. Means a right load of old bollocks to tha'
In this case it did mean a right load of old bollocks to me and one perfectly delivered shave (even around the chin) and happiness prevailed. In fact it were more than damn fine and more in the realms of Damnfuckingfinefinishandbiggrinvalue. Best hand job of the day.
Not the world's best finished razor in terms of manufacturing quality, but hey, what a class shaving implement. In this case the Super Iridium being a most wonderful pairing and probably one my top blades.
Brian and his Bolton wonder Soaps being right up there at the top of the tree. Of course not being the same tree associated with Hadrian's Wall. The bastards. The AP brush being, well, a brush.
A great start to the week and very fitting that I also start with some Japanese ladies who also know a thing or two about shaving (because they need to) and their vibrator waving fan base.
