KRF1963 Messages 530 Friday April 29, 2011 #1 Preparation: 2 hot crumpets (with butter) Some colouring in (with felt tips) Soap - Arko Brush - Simpsons Commodore X1 in best Razor - Gillette slim twist Blade - none. Followed by splashing with cold water (and a wet floor) Result: One very happy 7 year old who has had his "first shave". Technique needs a lot of improvement but he has several years to practise before his first whiskers appear. I just wish I had my camera to hand.

His 13 year old brother also seems keen but still has no need to shave as yet.
