Yes, I watched the DaVinci code on the weekend - clearly made no impression on me.

Just a southern boy's need for courtesy (momma taught me well) but now my sword is drawn and you my friend have been warned --En Garde!!!!!!.


Justin

P.S. But if I hurt your feelings just let me know and I'll stop-- because if there is one thing I know is how sensitive you Aussie blokes are.

And, so, for the best possible shave follow these instructions....... First, take a shot of tequila before applying hot towels. Second, take a shot of tequila before lathering up. Third, take a shot of tequila before your first WTG pass. Fourth, take a shot of tequila before rinsing off. Fifth, take a shot of tequila before lathering up again. Sixth, take a shot of tequila before your ATG pass. Seventh, take a shot of tequila before rinsing off. Eighth, take a shot of tequila before applying aftershave. Ninth, take a shot of tequila before taking a shot of tequila. Will this method really impart the best possible shave? Well, maybe not but by step nine you probably aren't going to care!

P.S. I like tequila but tequila doesn't like me.

As you are no doubt aware, some of the most illustrious shavers of our time have worn the senior member mantle. DaVinci, Newton, Fermat, and more recently Eddison, Hawkings and ...um... Swartzenegger.

From among the ranks of senior members, one is selected per generation - a chosen one - Buffy, the Grand Master Shaver (all Grand Master Shavers take the title Buffy upon coronation). His job is to keep a terrible secret - a secret that if made known would change the world forever...

It falls upon me to induct you, as a new senior member, into the hallowed and ancient ranks of the Order of the Knights of the Straight. Formed over three thousand years ago, the Order protects the Grand Master Shaver and his secret from those who seek dominion and power over the world's shaving public.

Our ancient enemy, Gillette-Dei , will stop at nothing to uncover our dread secret. But the Order has stood firm these thousands of years and will continue to do so as long as members, like yourself, stand united.

Time is short, their eyes are everywhere. Beware the man with the prosthetic ear (shaving accident, I believe). Trust no one. NO ONE!

James.....or am I?....

Time to put the Carlton Mid Strength down methinks!

Simon

It would be expensive, but some one should make a tequila aftershave. Buy a nice anejo and add some lime zest and a little citrogne to the mix. Let it sit for a few days. Now that would be a memorable aftershave haha.

Truly awesome. I had no idea....

Yeah man, it's true. These Gillette-Dei guys are into some serious stuff. Some of the more hard-core self-flagellate by repeatedly stroking their face with a vibrating 5-bladed apparatus specifically designed by the upper echelons of their society to inflict serious damage and draw blood. It's apparantly some homage to their version of our Buffy - the "King of Shaves" I think they call him.

And have you ever noticed the opened straight forms both the "Chalise" (V) and the "Blade" (^)? When you put both these ancient symbols one on top of the other, you get an X - precisely the pattern recommended by the senior members (Knights of the Order) when we hone. Coincidence? I think not...

Didn't you guys get the memo on this...? I'll have to have a word with our management committee...

OK, sorry - I'll shut up now. Congrats on the milestone Namdnas and apologies for ing the thread.

James (All systems back to normal....Seriously.)
