Tuesday
The day’s shave was interesting; a new razor, being a rather diminutive Swede (thanks Mikael :)). I decided to shave with it without stropping or touching the edge at all, just to see how it would go. It fared quite well, actually, even though I’d not bought it as shave ready and I was told (after the shave as it turned out) that it indeed was not really shave ready. I found it quite passable, actually, esp given no stropping. I know we often tell beginners not to strop their newly received razors, but I do feel two weeks’ travel from one end of the world to the other; in all sorts of weird and wonderful situations and humidities and such would have played absolute HAVOC on poor little Maja’s edge. The new razor has a name; the first one to get that honour. Though we have heard of Barry Burrell before. Regardless, Maja’s edge was a little frazzled after the intercontinental flight, so, after the first pass I introduced the young lass to none other than Neil Miller. Well, what Neil did to Maja is, well... Well I CAN’T really say; modesty forbids…It is enough to say she was well pleased after the encounter and proceeded to finish her work in a happy and youthful mood; her little Swedish cheeks as flushed with vibrancy as Spring herself!
