Hi Ian,Have you been there before M? - yours - I.
What's the difference between the V1 and V2 Mike?Made in Scotland too, the V1 May be a tank but it Shaves well.
Sorry for jumping in here KevinWhat's the difference between the V1 and V2 Mike?

Hi Ian,I hope you enjoy it - it is a place apart - unique - in my experience - I have been in some interesting places in my life - but there is nothing like it. It is quite 'in your face' - you need to get involved - not for shrinking violets - the Grand Bazaar - the Hagia Sophia - the Blue mosque - the Topkapi Palace - all worth seeing - the food - and indeed - their food culture - is glorious. I don't think we have eaten better anywhere in our travels - ever. Go for a meal in one of the seafood restaurants underneath the Galata bridge - for serious eating - get the funicular - built by European merchants - because they couldn't be arsed walking up the hill - you will understand when you see it - up to Istikilal Avenue - Beyloglu district - the European quarter traditionally - Pera. About half way along the street - on your left - is the entrance to - the 'Flower Passage' - Cicek Pasaji - a warren of some of the finest eating places we have ever been to. Dive in - it is great - Arko? - if you want to pick some up - you won't have a problem - trust me - a wet shave is a great experience there - part grooming - part theater - I always get my head shaved at the same time. Chilled lemon cologne sprayed onto your freshly shaved napper - nice. Worth doing - in my experience. My best advice about Istanbul? - don't drink green raki - when it kicks in - you will start to behave like the central character in some C.19th Irish agricultural novel - the connection between your body and brain becomes severed - normal raki - is fine - just remember that you put the ice in last - after the water - it is considered very uncouth to do otherwise. Have a good time - it is a glorious city in my experience - as I said - a world apart - Istanbulis don't have their sorrows to seek currently - my partner - won't agree to go there at the moment - due to the politics - but `I think the city will survive the current madness - the lurch towards totalitarianism - it has been there longer than Erdogan is going to live - it will persist. Yours - I.
