Pre hot towel + crema DR Harris Marlborough + Kent BK8 Silvertip + Gillette Contour with Gillette cartridge #2 + Mennen Grand Large with La Chinata balm

Today an irritating shave, not sure if because this cartridge or the shaving cream (which curiously doesn't smell more than its soap range equivalent)

Cheers!

Heh Man

That pic. is so groovy man that it made me want to drop acid! The last (and first and only) time was in 1966!

I thought it would blow my mind!

Anyway I'll have another small Scotch. I knew it was going to be a strange evening when I poured the last measure from a bottle of Bells and then erroneously put tonic water in it and had to put it down the sink! To make matters worse I had run out of soda water and had to use tap water. Only got grouse whiskey now which is not my favourite but it was on offer, poor old pensioners must consider these matters!

It's a great photo anyway.

Best Regards
Dick.
