This day brought with it my themed shave 'A big beastly brass bugger beats bristles in bathroom brawl'
Bristle basher - Long handled brass Hone
Bristle beating blade - Feather
Bristle bustling brush - Cadman 30mm Tuxedo
Bristle bubbles - James Riley No.8
Nearly three days of bristles to beat in to submission. Bring on the big brass beast and his army of accruttements. Bring it on and bring on the dancing girls.
'Stop staring up at the ladies Albert you dirty old man'
Given its bulk in every respect the Hone is one of those razors which delivers every which way. Amazingly agile, as smooth as melting butter and refuses to cause facial damage. Which in my case is a massive plus as I am already one ugly fuckling as the kids story and song goes. I am just waiting for my Swan moment. 59 years in the waiting so far.
Ride the cap as
@Blademonkey told me and ride the cap I do. Anything else and it does become a bit cumbersome and loses any accuracy at the same time. It is the only way I can put a defined line to my sidies. Top man is the monkeyoftheblade, a top man.
Feed with a feather was his advise and being a follower of the guru that is what I did. The Hone changes that nasty sharp aspect of the Feather DE blade and makes it something you could chew. Don't try that at home folks. I am sure it is not covered in your life insurance policies.
Deliver the beast did and with such fitness. For something with the physical dimensions and presence of a sledgehammer that ain't a bad turn out.
Not cuts, no reason to weep and everything to grin about. A wonderfully executed piece of design which was probably a forerunner to the guillotine.
The Cadman and the No.8 worked in superb harmony and on this ocassion one of those OTT lathers which makes you giggle in the mirror. Santa Claus in February? What is the world coming to?
So one absolutely stonking shave and smoother than a collective of lounge room lizards
Have a fantastic week ahead one and all
Someone mention Japanese badgers?
