Not even damned by faint praise - not even a mention.
Oh Rob, I'm very sorry and I couldn't take a picture half as good you for all the tea in china. It is a most handsome photograph but I'm waiting 'till you show off a beautiful, English Straight like a a mighty W&B with a shiny Rubberset number that doesn't have an orange ring. My only real criticism of your image above is that it is slightly squint and you cut off the side of the brush hair. Now this may be a deliberately arty trick but as I said I've no mind for latching onto such things. However, you may rest absolutely assured that nothing I vote for ever wins (
Christ, no Scottish independence, please!) so you'll get your place in the calendar sooner rather than later. I may even take a picture of my wares so it can be ripped to shreds by more artfully inclined eyes than mine own. Besides, you're far too talented already what with your immaculate and often imaginative razor restorations, not to mention brushes.
Considered yourself mollified, my dear chap!
