A very belated Happy Birthday!
And what theme could it be other than, 'I wish you a happy Christmas my fellow shavateers'

Oh little shop the Emporium, how deceitfully do you lie
Above thy hopes and useless soaps the silent shaves go by
Yet in thy dark-web shineth, the everlasting brush(?)
The nicks and tears of all the years can be dealt with in a flush
.....

We three passes of shaving are;
With the grain is favourite by far,
Across the grain, bleeding and pain,
following TSR
Ouch frigging ouch, that's not bright,
Against the grain can be such a fright
Face is bleeding, but still proceeding,
I'm sodding off cos this ain't right

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning.
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas day, on Christmas day,
And what was in those ships all three,
On Christmas day in the morning ?
I'll tell you what was in them. A bunch of salty arsed sailors with few quid in their back pocket and an evening's intention of 'Any port in a storm'. How would I know? I am one. And other than that I've seen enough ships on a Christmas morning to keep me happy for a bloody lifetime. Bugger that. Right, about this any place in a storm........
In amongst this rubbish, did I actually shave? Of course I did and what a most wonderful start to the day.
Did I mention it also happens to be not just a Christmas shave but also my birthday shave. Sixty something and still never got much further than thirteen.
A MOST WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS TO ALL, YOUR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS. I LOVE YOU ALL.
And some of those beautiful girlies Band Maid as a X-Mas gift from me.

Hmm!
Todays trial with the floppy knot, i fitted 4 loom bands to try to give it a bit more backbone, during lathering these dropped into the handle tightening the base of the knot and it has worked to a degree, i did overload the knot with soap though its a real pity as i do like the handle, more loom bands?
Every thing else was spot on.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all
