    Default Close Shave

    Was contemplating my navel the other day and thinking of the way life used to be, and how it would be good to get back to some sort of routine living. Also to any ways of saving the cash outflow. I had recently tried growing a beautiful beard, but due to the sarcasm and wit which was remarked on by several people who had no thought as to the hurt they were causing me, I shaved off. It wasnt very monetary wise either as the barber used to charge the earth when went to the barbers as always had a bit go at the beard with no instructions to do so, he used to charge for this extra expertise also. Electric razors I have had galore, but always felt it was like washing your feet with your socks on. We have new shops called "The Shaver Shop" opened near where I live, they have as well as all this modern plastic stuff, the old Safety Razors and Wilkinson Sword Edge razor blades. So have purchased the same, hoping it will also be cheaper and more satisfying than these plastic things which one throws away after about 2 usages. I think the Greens should be pleased also that I am doing my bit to saving the planet to all the accumulation of waste build up. Am now trying to figure out how many shaves will get out of one razor blade, anyone know. If I make enough on this change over, maybe able to afford an extra bottle of beer every week. Cheers John S

    Fred, was thinking of using it in ears to prevent the build up of wax when washing hair in the shower. Cheers JS

    Went to one of those Shaver shops to get new blades for my electric shaver. whata rip off, it is cheaper to buy a new razor than new blades.
    So I went to Myer and got one with my CBA points, and cheaper than SS.

    If Cappy got any wax from his ears he would most likely use it to polish that wooden leg of mary.
