Welcome to this evenings main event and the elimination bout for the heavyweight razor championship of the bathroom, 'The 'Hawk vs The General'
In the blue corner
Razorock Hawk V2 - DIY brass handle - Kai Captain
Weighing in at 95g and with a reach of 122mm the Hawk comes in to the ring with a record of 3/0
In the red corner
Colonial General - Standard handle - Kai Captain
Weighing in at a heavier 105g, with a reach of 93mm the general enters this fight with a tale of the tape of 2/0
Your referee for this match is Mr Muhle Synthetic (wearing butterscotch coloured trousers) and your ringside commentator OSP Chypre, Cuts man courtesy of Superdrug Mr Murray the styptic pencil and your official timekeeper Tissot PRC200.
Your ring girl for this evening is some ugly pink teddy (?) I found in my dad'place. God bless my mother but she did have some odd tastes. Two of these being my father and me.
These two razors have entered my shaving world with quite some impact and both have impressed me with their ability and results. Knock out performances. So this evening I decided I would take them (razor) head to (razor) head to see which actually delivers the best shave. In consideration of the cost differences it is probably a bit unfair, but one does need some fun in life and as we all know more cost doesn't necessitate better results.
In my case I always find the left side of my face easier to shave than the right and so it would be unfair to use one for one side and the other for the other so it was all a bit of a mix, match and change as I went along. Marks being awarded for performance, style and results.
'Let's get ready to razor'
Round one - Left side and neck
The Hawk with its chiselled good looks and longer reach makes a very positive start with great handle work and a slick performance. The General with its stocky physical build is more of a work horse and takes a little longer but it grinds away battling its way through the bristles. The strokes from both fighters are delivered with wonderful accuracy, Both razors giving a sterling performance with excellent jabs and XTG's the round ends in a very close call. Draw.
'Get that girl out the ring' jeers the crowd
Round two - Right side and neck
Both start with a flurry of WTG's and both handle the pressure with aplomb and ride through the two days of growth efficiently. This is tight and neither struggle with the XTG's, but wait..........Faced with ATG's the Hawk shows some signs of struggling while the General continues with a smooth performance. The referee has to have words with the Hawk for tugging and points are deducted. Hawk 8 General 10
Round three - Around the nose
Close in the Hawk shows the longer reach to be less effective but manages to give great control of the fight making short work of the area from the top lip to under the nasal region. It's chiselled edge making precision work of its short strokes. The General with its weight advantage performs better with the inside fighting but is lesser in its effectiveness. This is edge of the seat stuff and the crowd show their vocal support for both fighters. No blood drawn and the rounds ends slightly favourable for the Hawk. Hawk 10 General 9
Round Four - Front of the neck to under the chin
Both razors give a good performance and there is nothing to split the two. No XTG's are delivered and marks have to be awarded for WTG and ATG only. It appears the General has been more efficient in this round with smoother action and cleaner finishing. The Hawk has been made to sweat. Hawk 9 General 10
Fifth and Final round, - Around the chin to under the bottom lip
Touch blades and we are in to the final round. Blows are coming thick and fast with both razors trying to impress the judges with some fancy handle work. left right, right left the cross punches are being delivered in great effect. Then out of the blue a thundering upper cut while trying to deliver an ATG the Hawk causes blood to be drawn from the chin. It is only a very slight cut but enough to make one weep. The referee steps in while the cuts man deals with the flow using the styptic pencil. This is a cruel blow as this may well have been from an earlier fight, but the judges will have to deduct points as a result. The General with its more rounded head glides around the chin with superb effectiveness while the Hawk looks flat. In the final minute strokes are being traded as both razors stand blade to blade between the upper chin and the bottom lip. Not enough room to get a whisker in here and impressive stuff. No more further bleeding and it looks as if Mr Murray has done his job.
The final bell and the fight is over. A wash down with cold water is given and a pat down with a fresh towel. No further styptic relief is required and L'Occitane Cade after shave balm is used to massage the skin. Wonderfully welcome
Hawk 7 General 10
With the fight going the distance it is down to the judges and the score cards. The final verdict is the General has won the fight by a split decision and is declared the winner.
'Get that pink thing out of the ring. We've said it before'
Sitting ringside is the present bathroom heavyweight razor champion Timeless 0.68 who will fight it out with the Timeless 0.95 next week. The winner to meet the General and slug it out for the right to be crowned, 'Undisputed bathroom heavyweight razor champion'. What a great fight we will have in prospect, SE vs DE and two colourful performers.
Thank you to the referee Mr Muhle for keeping the match flowing and all in control. And we do love your butterscotch trousers
Thank you fight fans and may I wish you all a great and wonderfully shaven evening. It is good night from here.
Great write up. Very entertaining.Ladies and gentlemen and for this evenings entertainment the theme was 'The Brawl in the Bowl'
