As my first shave in this new week of SOTD's I am shavingly happy to present a shave thematically named, 'Giant people and giant shaves'
In case you are thinking 'Haven't you already posted this week?', indeed I have. But this shave is the first one for this week as against to my previous tripe which was the first entry for this week being the final one for the past week. It's all in the art of being useless.

Massive moisturiser - Pure
Prodigious perfume - Blenheim Bouquet
Wicstun is Anglo-Saxon in origin, meaning ‘dwelling’ or ‘dwelling place’, and indicates that there was a village here sometime before the compilation of the Domesday Book of 1086 when Market Weighton is referred to as ‘Wicstun'
It also happens to be the home of Britain's tallest ever man, William Bradley who measured 107ft 9"! Known locally as 'The Giant Bradley' and in his day 'Tearful Bradley' by the local ladies.

'The Wicstun ladies doing the 'Crying dance'. Performed after having won the raffle for a night with Mr Bradley at the local summer fete'
It also happens to be the name of one of Signature's Soaps and since I happen to be here this weekend it is very much a case of 'Wicstun in Wicstun'.
There is a rumour Brian's next soap may well be named after the birth place of yet another giant, Ashvillium after Ashville Ohio, the home town of John Holmes.
Did I shave? Somewhere in amongst the waffle I guess I did. And an absloutle monster shave at that.
The Hawk is not my favourite SE razor and think it has a certain rough feel about it. Something I personally find with all the Razorock razors I've used to date. But on this occasion perform it did. In a rough arsed kind of way. But I ain't going to complain as one cracking well needed shave.
The 30mm Cashmere doing one fine bit of face smashing and one big boss brush.
Forget the Wicstun dance, here's some girls from the rising sun doing their dance thing...
And I love you all
