And for today my theme was 'And would sir like a sandwich?'
I must start by saying thank you to whoever made the photo fix.
Ham sandwich - Ikon B1 SB
Cheese sandwich - ATT Colossus handle
Sausage sandwich - Polsilver Lodz

Sandwich plate curtosey of my father
So coming to the end of my two weeks of being away at work and living on a diet of the Colonial General I felt it was time for a return to DE. The WMD being the Ikon SB. A razor which could destroy a nation in the hands of a tyrant.
This razor really is a bread and butter workhorse although it started life with me as a bit of a donkey. With a Lodz sandwiched between the two plates this combination can deliver a tasty and exceptionally close shave. I love the fact the blade is wholly consumed between the plates. After all who likes a sandwich with the contents falling out?
At first I thought I was lathering up with too much water in the brush but after a bit more than the usual elbow grease what a mountain of first class cream. If this was a bacon sandwich it would be made from Tesco's finest. Not everyone's choice of a fine bacon but there is not much else available in Market Weighton. A village dominated by a single huge supermarket. Hmmmmm? But birth place to Britain's tallest ever man, William Bradley. Who probably ate a lot of sandwiches.
Waffle aside
The brush needs no introduction but in consideration of the wonderful bit of whipping it achieved it is actually better than I thought it was. A first class performance.
Three full on passes and what a most beautiful close shave. The Ikon doesn't hang around when it comes to stubble removing and on this occasion it certainly didn't let me down. Smooth as my wife's bottom as I dislike comparing my shaves to my two granddaughters arses. Which are smooth though.
The Cade was just the Branston pickle and added to the flavour and texture.
This time around it was all about the Prada since it was its first proper use with a purpose. I must say the Black Carbon although somewhat fashionably commercial with its scent really is very nice. It brought a nice finish to a great shave and I can go to the cinema tonight feeling well groomed and presentable. Just what 'Preditor' needs.
Have a lovely evening one and all
By the way my favourite sandwich is cheese and strawberry jam on unbuttered brown grain bread. What is yours?
