Good day chaps and for today's wonderful shaving adventure I have themed this SOTD 'Janet and John go shaving'
'Look Jane, I am learning how to shave!' said John - Stainless Mongoose
'I am learning fundamental quantum mechanics'. said Jane - Feather Super Professional
'Look Jane I am shaving myself!' said John - Yaqi Dandelion
'I am debasing myself' said Jane - Murdock's Avalon
'That is nice. Can I watch?' said John - Extro Arancia splash
'No'
A quick flick back to my early 'learning to read' days which achieved naff all for me later in life, or my earlier days when I come to think about it. I guess that is what being a 'junk culturist' does for you. Rips up the pages of Shakespeare's plays, 'Janet and John' books and replaces them with Viz and Razzle.
Lovely to be back home and to have the use of the Mongoose once again. It sets very high standards and may be my bench mark SE razor. The Zen? may be, may be not and has me flicking between it and the Colonial V2 as to which sits at the top of the God tree. But wherever it sits it performed as per usual and delivered a Godly shave with an immaculate finish.
A rare day out for the Avalon as I am too conscientious that one day it might be the last time I ever use this wonderful product. If someone has a jar lying around I would be happy to take it off your hands. Otherwise one day I might just have to surrender to their present range in the hope they are every bit the equal. The scent is stunning (The Cologne likewise but disappears too quickly to lever a purchase out of me) and the qualities up there in the same God tree as the mongoose. Throw in the cheap and brilliant Dandelion and just impossible to go wrong.
A superb shave which puts dolphins and babies bottoms to shame
'I have had a very good shave today Jane' said John
'That makes your day nice' said Jane
'Did you have a nice one Jane?' said John
'That's getting a bit fucking personal isn't it John!?' said Jane
'
Oh....okay' said John
And Jane carried John's impertinence with her for the rest of her life
Have a smashing weekend fellow shaving folk and may everyone be well and safe. Families, friends and all
And as a great start to the weekend have some lovely Japanese ladies to see you in
