All good - a week's growth coming off - not that good actually - in the last week I have learned - that my boiler - is beyond repair - I have been accidentally flooding my downstairs neighbour's flat - nothing drastic - slow drip - enough to damage their plaster - insurance claim. Also I lost my job - entirely Covid related - happy days - let's go from £500 a week - to Universal Credit - a system - most would agree is not fit for purpose. - I.
I had great shave today with my first run out with my Gillette technical and 3rd use of a nacet blade , Proraso preshave and proraso soap , then Humphreys cucumber and melon witch hazel , polo sport aftershave and Nivea sensitive after shave balm
Technical I thought would be a Mickey Mouse shaver as so light and has a tin like appearance , but appearances can be deceptive and they certainly were with this razor .. nice smooth shave , if you haven't tried one I can certainly recommend it and will use it again on those days when maybe my neck at little on the red side
I was thinking about picking up another one as they are cheap to take on holiday , but is there another vintage model (that's) similar I should consider ?

Thank you for saying so - I have been a professional snapper for the last 31 years - generally speaking - it was a whole lot of fun - that time - now - I think has come to an end.You should be a pro photographer...your pics are always great
I've been bouncing between a profound or an amusing statement before realising I could come up with neither for your current situation.Thank you for saying so - I have been a professional snapper for the last 31 years - generally speaking - it was a whole lot of fun - that time - now - I think has come to an end.

I had no idea that you were a pro photographer! Why am I not surprised? My comment now seems a little glib, though it was intended to be simply positive at a time when things seem everything but positive. All I can think of now is to say that your current employment might have ended but your obvious talent remainsThank you for saying so - I have been a professional snapper for the last 31 years - generally speaking - it was a whole lot of fun - that time - now - I think has come to an end.

Yes - indeed - all I need is for someone to pay me for taking pictures of shaving porn. - Ipositive at a time when things seem everything but positive.
OK, this may seem daft but one of my all-time favourite books is 'The Writer's Desk' by a photographer called Jill krementz. It's a collection of photos of famous writers at their desk with a few lines from each author as annotations. It's what I would call 'writers' porn'.Yes - indeed - all I need is for someone to pay me for taking pictures of shaving porn. - I
Both pre shave and soap are green variety and as for the love child , I'm a child of the sixty's when anything goes man swinging timesAre you sure you're not my long lost love child? Good taste is in the DNA you know!
