Yes, quite. Exactly. I have decided the Emperor has no clothes, and the Emperor is most of bureaucratic, capitalistic, consumerist, selfish, rude, arrogant society. Thank you very much for the supportive comment. Originally Posted by JoeSomebody

There's not a great many things that can be more fulfilling than teaching, surely? Times like that make you wake up to yourself, slap yourself around and smell the roses.
Which leads me to my SOTD. I hope it's OK to lead into it from a reply...
Wednesday
Wake up and smell the roses day. Nice pre-shave; Proraso, Nice lather; Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar, Nice shave; Burrell, Nice Witch Hazel Lotion; Herb valley, Nice Aftershave Lotion; Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar, Interesting late Spring weather; COOL thunder and lightning last night, chilly morning, hot afternoon, Count Your Blessing Day; because the roses still smell nice, and unless you stop and smell them, you won't know that...
PS, I'm spending WAY too much time creating these SOTD posts. This one took three beers and around an hour and a half!Last edited by carlmaloschneider; 11-16-2011 at 08:15 AM.

Yeah, I thought that too. In fact it prompted me into thinking about collecting just white handled razors... Originally Posted by Mikael

Thanks Mikael. Found it on ebay. It must have been part of a seven day set because it has a day of the week inscribed on the spine. Originally Posted by Mikael
