accident.

Damon, Neil Miller at the strop-shop.co.uk has just posted that he has more strops in the pipeline that he is about to upload onto his website so i would stay put and see his new offerings, but you will cry if you nick it. I think i will make my grandad buy me one for xmas, he does have some uses.
theinvisibleedge.co.uk is better than average quality but that is only because most stuff shaving wise is knock-off fake stuff.

I couldn't throw too many hay bales, they'd weigh about the same as me; I weight 69.9 now!

You, don't, perchance, read the articles on Art of Manliness do you Carl? I only ask, as I read an article recently (I have AoM post on my FB page) on moving naturally...Moving like a Wildman I think it was called. Essentially it was talking about training you body and gaining strength in such a way as to put all them Parkour and Free Runners to shame. One day I hope to be able to throw myself around like all you skinny blokes, but in the mean time, I'll just be like this little bloke here---->

Yes, Mick, I do from time to time. My son is a Master Personal Trainer, and he always talks about full body functional exercises, in fact his business is called Move Naturally. He hardly ever wears shoes, he'll even go for a walk in a forest bare foot. he says shoes are bad for our back and our posture.

I used to watch a show called dual survival, no not duel survival. And the guy who did not wear shoes or long trousers consistantly slowed the other guy down. But I am sure that in a survival situation where you had no shoes he would come out best.

There is a tonne of crap on eBay everywhere, how else do you think people sell their crap that no one would buy from a real shop, and even if they did the shop would not make enough money to stay in business. Are you sure those trad shops are not selling belts?
Time to shine my boots and sew up a hole in my work trousers.

Nor do I, but that's probably good.
