Talk about a memorable, awesome shave. Wade & Butcher 'The Celebrated' on steroids. That razor is a top notch high quality shave. Sweet hollow blade. Mows away those whiskers with such an ease. Smooth to boot. Not to mention my number one scent of all times. Vetiver. Woohoo.

Sunday

There’s a possum living in a room off my shed. Years ago, this house used to be a ‘shack’; a weekend cottage. You can still see where they had the stove in the room we call the ‘secret room’; the roof has caved in and it’s covered in ivy. The possum is living in a cardboard box; I’m sure it has babies in there. It’s very meek and mild. I’m quite chuffed to have a possum living in there.

The afternoon shave was in my bedroom, at my little table with my antique wash set. Shaving here changes things up immensely. It’s amazing how the low light and small space takes things to a whole new level. Only the second shave here. The shave here takes longer than in the bathroom; but now I’ve changed jobs I’ve actually got time to shave here each morning. It’ll be a slow transition, though, from the bathroom. I intended to listen to music as I shaved, but as I was getting ready my wife called me a ‘strange little man’. I said ‘No I’m not’ and then said ‘Do you want to come and watch me shave?’. She replied, ‘No, you’re not strange at all, are you?’ Anyway, as it turned out, she did indeed watch part of the shave and, when leaving, reiterated that I was a strange little man. Really, to be honest, I can’t really disagree…
