All good - my favourite shaving software antidote to a dark, cold, stormy and pishy day in Glasgow. A whiff of the Caribbean - not that I have actually been there - my mate got sent on a press trip to Barbados - they were corralled and it turned into - what was effectively a luxury prison camp - he slipped the leash on Saturday night - wanting to hear some of the local sounds - with the locals. No problem finding it - just listen for the deafening sound of dance-hall - the walls of the building visibly shaking under the assault of the sound system. He had a whale of a time - they took him as one of their own - his money was no good all night - the only white guy there - I say white - he's from Dumbarton - so that is actually a shade of pale blue - sweating heavily in the humidity. He's never been that popular - before or since - with the ladies - he did admit that he was a bit terrified - anyone of them - could have crushed him between their capacious bosom. He made it back to the resort - minutes before the jittery pr woman phoned the cops to go find him. So - back to the shave - I really like A&E St Barts - the tallow soap base is superb - the scent takes you elsewhere - an azure sky - emerald water gently lapping on a white coral sand beach - perhaps - the smell of fish cooking on an open grill? - huge drinks - that are mostly made out of rum - and turn up in hollowed out fruit. The dull thud of Keith Richards falling out of a palm tree - yes - that did actually happen. You would have thought if you were Keith's people - you would have done a thorough risk analysis? Apparently not. A man - who is - unless lying flat on his back - going to present a very real danger to himself - especially on holiday. Nobody ever explained though - what was he doing up the tree in the first place - how did he get there? Life is full of imponderables. So - Glasgow - shit - still in Glasgow. Enjoy your shaves - one and all - I.
