'A watched kettle never boils'
What a load of shit that is. I watched our kettle for a whole five minutes today and had a super cup of tea afterwards.
A shave with the theme 'dispelling proverbs'

A very familiar razor with me and yet again turns in a most wonderful performance. Other than delivering stupendously close shaves it also happens to be incredibly accurate. I am not sure the handle is an Ikon and has certainly been blessed with being brayed with an ugly stick. However what it lacks in beauty it makes up with weight and length which are both big plus points in my book. I have always said it and I will say it again, brilliant with a Lodz blade. First time blade on this occasion and expectations said expect a weeper or two and everything lived up to expectations. Nothing major and nothing my usual splash of Witch Hazel couldn't resolve.
Nice to return to Signature soaps. First attempt was shite and far too much water. Looked more like the froth which appears on the surface of a polluted river. Nothing tipping it down the sink and starting all over again couldn't fix. And so that is what I did. Much better the second time around and more like the froth which appears on the top of a pint of Guinness which is slightly more palatable than a polluted river and probably about as much the same colour. What a great soap though and everything and more one could wish for.
Brush? It's a brush
A shave as smooth as, as smooth as, as smooth as.........and...... one moment please, phone call

Sorry about this but time to finish in a hurry. A heady spray of the most divine Goutal Eau De Monsieur and I bid you all goodnight.
Those 'old man trousers' really do work wonders. Chip chip
