'A lumpy bumpy shave' was the theme given to this day's time spent by the sink with a razor.
Lumpy - Ikon SB with an ATT Colossus handle
Bumpy - The usual Polish made blade
Grumpy - Cade shaving cream
Numpty - Cade aftershave balm
Cade. A name derived from an Old English nickname for someone who was lumpy and rotund. I am not sure what a lumpy person might look like, but they must be similar to myself so I'll go for that one.
Alternatively.
A Cade is the perfect guy. A smooth operator and every girl likes him
Definitely not me as apparently I have too many lumpy bits.
So today I find myself back at my father's place in Market Weighton, birth place of Britain's tallest ever man the giant William Bradley. It also happens to have wonderful water for shaving and something I always look forward to when visiting. This evening was no let down.
I often include L'Occitane Cade aftershave balm in to my shaves as quite simply it is the best balm I have come across for my skin. However I rarely reach for the shaving cream, but tonight saw it come out of hiding and yet another great product I too often overlook. Lovely in every sense of the word and an absolute gem. I don't reach far enough in to the 'shaving store' when choosing a soap or a cream and considering I am not short of long arms (?) I need to use them to better effect. Too many nice items sit out of view.
With the brilliant Razorock brush a super shaving medium to pass blade. On this ocassions my usual 'love it to death' Ikon SB with its usual partner in crime blade the Polsilver Lodz. Why change a good thing?
End result being a 'lumpy bumpy free shave' and nothing short of brilliant (other than my arms by all means). As smooth as a Cade and I am going to take a walk and see of it is true what they say about the girls.
Happy shaving chaps and I leave you with The Pixies from the wonderfully talented Kim Deal days
