A late start to this week's SOTD's because I am just a lazy bastard, but here it is, my first write up themed 'If I was a rebellious enslaved donkey I would be called Bernardo Sittingdale'
Who is Bernardo Sittingdale?
I am Bernardo Sittingdale - Rocnel SE P-50
No I am Bernardo Sittingdale - 0.478534% of a Dorco Prime
What? I am Bernardo Sittingdale - wee whisky barrel
I am that donkey - MDC Rose
Satanfriendly, you are a donkey - C&S 88
No! I am Bernardo Sittingdale
Fuck off you dumb Equidae
A very nice and summery return to the Goddess of Rose scented shaving soap, MDC. And why not it is summer after all and quite a warm one at that. And just to push a point further make it a very cold water shave. Heaven. To those of you who shave with the hot towel routine, get real, get cold and save on the household bills. All very ECO at the same time. Save gas, save some electricity and save some cow methane while at it.
I never did really see why stopping eating McDonald's burgers saves the planet. Surely we'd end up with even more cows passing wind merrily if we didn't pack them between bread in a polystyrene box? Never really a McDonald's type of chap to be honest. More a fan of cheese and Branston sandwiches.
And shaving? Nothing to do with it but isn't digression fantastic?
As it was the MDC produced its usual level of performance and a top notch lather. The wee whisky barrel brush driving it all along.
A return to the Rocnel with the usual sense of trepidation, but I do find aggressive razors kinder to the skin. This warmer weather can have my skin feeling rather edgy and sensitive. Throw something at it with a greater sense of efficiency (to be politically correct in the shaving world) and face meets sharp steel becomes more comfortable and lacking in that sensation, 'I am going to grind this shite away some way or another'. Certainly this was one ultra smooth experience with exemplary results. Close, close and close. No blood letting tales to share and what a razor this thing is starting to show itself to be. And I was a sceptic to the world of half blades.

A squeeze of Simple moisturiser, a spray of the amazing 88 and everything is coming up roses. And they are.
My new friend in the garden which appeared out of nowhere and a very welcome surprise to this year.
'Oh my dearest I have just read in the newspaper, you really are a twat'
But a well shaven one.
Have a wonderful remainder of the week and enjoy this beautiful weather and enjoy some Japanese ladies while at it
