I start this week of SOTD's with the theme 'Bloody builders and gardens'
Back at work at this moment and left the builders to just get on with things while I am away.
'Mrs Satanfriendly is Chris around?'
'Yes he is'
'Can I see him please'
'Yes you can. He is hanging on the back of the container boat out in the river. The door is fine in that position'
I did tell them my missus knows the score and she can lay bricks (which is more than I get) so she knows her stuff.
Any chance of a cuppa? - Ever Ready 1912
More bricks you knob - Personna Gem
Did you see the size of those? - The Gentleman's Groom Room whiskey barrel
You call that mortar? - Signature Soaps Londinium
A return to 1912 (back to the future IV) and very appropriate to this day's theme, it has a very utilitarian feel and look about it and to this sense rather reminds of some kind of a gardening tool. I am quite sure the builders would be very grateful for its earth flattening properties and its ability to cut the paving stones. Other than that it just happens to be one damn fine razor pushing towards the best part of 90 years old and very capable of delivering superb shaves as I am finding out. A kind of 'Swiss knife' of the shaving world. Any other possible functions folk could dream up would be very gratefully received.
It is exceptionally lightweight compared to my usual choice of razors and rather feels like it is made from tin foil, which of course it isn't. I always find it a little daunting with the first strokes while I adjust to the fact that this thing bloody well works. Not only does it 'bloody well work' it turns in an exceptional bloody performance. Not in the literal sense though as I would find it quite difficult to draw blood with the 1912 being so easy to use. The Gems are what they are and as far as I am aware there isn't anything else so just get on with it. I also happen to have a lifetimes supply as I understand they just go on and on. A bit like me.
So a wonderful wonderful shave and nothing is a great act without some kind of support. To this extent the Groom Room brush and startlingly super Signature Londoninium did their brilliant best.
Thank you, thank you all you super shaving accoutrements for helping me to one exceptionally smooth and bottom wiggling shave.
No quite girly this time around, but someone I haven't used for some time and a band with one superb and very pretty trans gender guitarist, the superb 'Blood Stain Child'
