The theme was 'The Great Magnifico'
The Great Magnifico - Brass Colonial General
The Great Sharpiro - Schick Proline
The Great Brushiro - Razorock 400
The Great Cremero - L'Occitane Cade
The Great Profumo - Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet
The Great Radersio
All named after famous non existent magicians from those bygone years when they knew how to put on a magnificent stage show where it was compulsory to throw fruit and vegetables at the act.
'No they are not'
Point taken
The brass General is one of those razors which does nothing else except deliver amazing shave after amazing shave and simply never steps out of line. A real gem of a razor and one to cherish. The Proline is a perfect match even if has taken me time to come around to the virtues of the Schick blade. Meraviglioso Magnificento.
This time I'd thought I'd draw a comparison between the L'Occitane Cade cream and the Cade soap. And my findings? None, except one comes in a cheap Wilkinson Sword tub and the other in a rather crumpled tube. The 400 doesn't seem to care which one and if the great Brushiro doesn't care then neither do I. And I don't
Do a bit of this, do a bit of that, a bit more of this and a little more of that. A good old Abracadabra, pull a rabbit from a hat, saw someone in half and there we have it. A most divine and wondrous shave. A toss of rotting fruit and vegetables and I stand in front of the mirror thinking 'Now that is good'. A splash of Blennheim Bouquet to sweeten up the aroma of a few rotting sprouts and 'Hey presto' a magical bathroom experience. The audience applauded a most resplendent performance.
Thank you, thank you and now for our next act. Some Japanese singing beavers
