With a start to the shaving week I begin with a shave themed 'We will shave you'
Rol taj - Occam's Enoch
'etlh - Titan Mild
'ach pe'vIl - Yaqi Dandelion
Say'moHwI' tlhagh - Abbate y Mantia Krokus
It's another one of those 'Hit play' and sing along you shavateers
Shaver you're a boy make a big choice
Standing by the sink gonna be a clean man some day
You got lather on yo face
You big disgrace
Kickin' your can of foam all over the place
We will we will shave you
We will we will shave you
Shaver you're a young man scruffy faced man
Shoutin' in the mirror gonna take this fluff some day
You got blood on yo face
Cos yo can't shave
Wavin' your brush all over the place
We will we will shave you
We will we will shave you
Shaver you're an old man poor man
Spent all your money trying to gain perfection every day
(and listening to
@Boycie83 too much)
You got fluff allover the place
You big disgrace
Somebody better teach you shaving your face
We will we will shave rock you
We will we will shave you
'And we will shave you' said the implements by the sink, 'we will'.
Another bit of sink time for the Krokus and what a super soap it is. I have recently taken more to face lathering, but for some reason the Abbate is one of those soaps which takes better to bowl lathering. Not as though there is in reality, not much difference between my face and a bowl. But bowl it was and what a wonderful golden lather it threw up. It is not quite 'Gold gold' but more that annoying colour they invented some years back called 'champagne gold' and then produced everything they could in it. Cars, HiFi, watches, condoms, vibrators. You name it, it came in champagne gold. But in this case I will give it credit as it is a lovely soap to shave with. Shades of gold aside. Soapy tales complete.
For some reason the blade on the Enoch this time around was very forward and very pronounced. Having the dodgiest locating pins known to razorkind I did take it apart just to make sure the alignment and securing was correct and all in good order. I can only but guess the blade is not quite to the usual tolerances and slightly larger than usual. It certainly felt as if damage control was going to have to be exercised. And it duly was. And well worth the tightening up of my own tolerances for one of those Mary Poppins Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious shaves.
Throw on some L'Occitane aftershave balm and a splash of Abbate y Mantia Cologne to top off an excellent touchy feely finish shave.
'Wow, look girls, it's the most touchiest feeliest man of the day'
'What is touchy freely?'
'I don't know'
Have a wonderful weekend you people of the forum and I will leave you with some Mary Poppins. On second thoughts, no I won't and I shall leave you with something Japanese to give your weekends a rocking start. And I ain't talking Feather shaving products here, I am talking 'Nemophila'. Which probably sounds like some gross offence which could result in arrest. Fortunately they're not.
It is always an honour to follow Billy's SOTD with his wonderful photos and his beautiful straights
