Why, a good day to you lovely people out there in the shaving community. And to those bearded folk, sod off.
As my first entry in this new week of SOTD's it has been decided by some organisation or other I am compelled to theme this one, 'Made in Switzerland'
Rolex the razor - Tatara Nodachi
Holey cheesy blades - Clifton Durablade
Basel brush - Highlander LFC
Chocolate soap - Captain Fawcett's scarpicchio
Moisturising the Matterhorn - Collegen
Patek Philippe de Parfum - YSL homme
'Having a Swiss watch'
Switzerland. A small land-locked African country with a varied geological topography and a variety of plantation, both legal and illegal.
Whoops. Just realised I am of course waffling on about Swaziland (now known as Eswatini)
Switzerland. A small land-locked European country famous for fine precision engineering, particularly watches and leather pants. Swiss cheese where they have perfected a produce which is 50% fresh air. A method of torture involving triangular shaped chocolate bars which wedge themselves in to the roof of the mouth followed by introducing nougatine pieces in between the teeth, hence making it impossible to talk. The tortured party is then taken away, jailed and fed the 50% which doesn't contain cheese for the rest of their lives.
They also happen to make a 'Swiss precision' razor blade which takes its name from a suspension bridge. Clifton. Then added 'Durablade', so I am expecting this blade to last a lifetime. Which is more than I may last. If I last a lifetime I would be surprised.
A superb bit of lathering from the Scarpicchio (it doesn't do anything else), blade located correctly (or so I hope) in the ever faithful Tatara and away we go (we, as in the singular, I).
Indeed a very smooth delivery in a Swiss precision kind of way, but sharp? Not so convincing. If this is the Swiss concept of sharp I shall give their famous army knives a miss. May be it will be durable because it's blunt and lacks an edge. I also lack an edge and also go on and on.
Still, some form of a happy shave and no collateral along the way, but just all a bit 'And for your starter for 10'.
And to start this week on a 10 it is over to those very talented ladies 'Band Maid'. Other than that they are far better looking than any of you lot....
And what would a week be without me saying 'I love you all'
