Prewaffle.....
I woke up yesterday morning to find that I had 10,000 likes. Now I am not sure who these 10,000 people are as I don't think I have ever met 10,000 folk in my entire life, never mind have them all like me. To whoever you all are I really do say 'Thank you for liking me' and I am sure one day when all this is over we can have a big meet up somewhere. But I am not buying the drinks.
Other than that I am not sure why anyone would want to like me. All I do is scribble some pointless rubbish in the name of 'This was my shave' and to add to it all, delivered in exceptionally poor English. I am useless. Only this morning my granddaughter Zuzu Winter (I love her name) said 'Granddad you're rubbish'. Says it all. God bless her and have a happy birthday (three today) you little star. Yes, I am rubbish.
A rubbish razor - Brass Colonial General
A rubbish blade - Schick Proline
A rubbish brush - Cadman 30mm Tuxedo
A rubbish soap - Extro Postiano
A rubbish splash - Extro Postiano
A rubbish shaver - Me
So was it a rubbish shave? Is granddad really rubbish?
The shave was an absolute revelation after living on the edge with my previous outings and the Ikons. No longer did I have to think about my own personal safety, complete a risk assessment and a permit to work, and still manage to cut myself. This was all about how damn smooth and efficient these Generals are with end results made in shaving heaven. Three passes towards those pearly gates. Not to fret, I am not quite climbing towards the inevitable as I don't think they would let me in anyway. To steal a line from 'Going nowhere' by 'Therapy?', 'Heaven kicked you out you wouldn't wear a tie'.
I'd forgotten how bloody wonderful these Extro soaps are and how much like an upmarket toilet cleaner their Postiano smells. In a nice way that is. A kind of Harpic by Chanel. The Cadman made a bowlful of comedy lather with incredible efficiency. You know, like the chap on the Arko shaving soaps. More a bad attempt at a disguise than a shaving lather

End results I can only describe as brilliant. Smoother than I care to think. And after seeing my little birthday girl empty her contents in to her potty, no, I am not interested in babies bottoms.
Is Granddad rubbish?

Result - you need to read the following in a Geordie accent - alreet? Day two in the Big Brother House - and Digimonkey is starting to lose the place big style - note - never refer to yourself in the third person - not a good thing - Bono does that - and he is a total c**t - starving babies - that you seen to be so concerned about? - just put your hand in your back pocket you w****r - my new razor - famed for being a bit mild - why point it at a full seven days growth - are you mental? - at the moment - yes. It worked a treat - bbs in two passes - I like this razor - a lot. I've done a lot of hard traveling - nobody speaks your language - for extended periods - and been on the hill - alone - for weeks on end - didn't bother me at all - 48 hours of lockdown - I'm going mental. Enjoy your shaves - one and all - yours - I.
@RussellR5555 - thank you mate.
Oh - I did find out that my camera can do colour sotd pictures - who'd have thought? - who's Carmen? - that's my handwriting but I have little understanding why I wrote that - not the heroine from the Bizet opera - I'm fairly sure about that - answers on a postcard please.
