Bloody (Literally) Razors

[sunny-dave]

I came away on hols without my trusty Aldi Special - not cheap, but very good.

But I need to shave every day - or I look like "a badger run over by a flymo" (thanks gness).

So I've been borrowing and buying any number of disposables in the search for a half decent shave.

I can now offer Sunny Dave's guide to What It Says on the Pack (WISP) and What It Really Means (WIRM) :

WISP Sensitive WIRM Blunt
WISP Lady's WIRM Pink and Blunt
WISP 5 Blade WIRM Head so big it won't do the crinkly bits
WISP The name on the world's finest blade WIRM But not on this expensive tat
WISP The best a man can get WIRM If he has very limited aspirations
WISP Mach 3 WIRM Mainly blunt but occasionally, unpredictably sharp
WISP Flexball Technology WIRM Pivots unexpectedly and removes huge lump of face

Pass the Styptic Pencil please ....

Honestly....what a wuss.....he had his chance....
I told him I'd brought with me the cut-throat and leather strop but would he sit still in the chair!....x

Good enough for daily use (with a fresh razor for every shave) for me:

Are you thinking of going into the pie business, Gness ;-)

[gness]

If I can get Dave to sit still, Chris...then yes...... ;-)

[Buenchico]

Anyway, Gness, it's no use pretending that you brought the cut-throat razor for Dave to shave with. We all know that you only packed it so that, if someone looked inside your bags, you'd be able to justify the presence of the leather strop.

I don't know why you bothered though; there's nowt wrong with a bit of S&M between friends these days ;-)

[ummmm]

Get a razor sharpener. It'll save you a fortune.

[gness]

You've got me, Chris........but remember.......I'm very short sighted and my aim is dreadful.....they'd have to be very good friends indeed...... :-)

LOL, there are some carp razors there, Dave.
Jaysus, don't them styptic sticks sting.

gness wielding a cut throat razor ! Ahhhhhggggggg.

i didn't know that people shaved when they were on holiday?

[gness]

It's the passport photo, Ael......if I don't shave they don't recognise me at security..... :-(
