Finally, Jimbo ..... do you have a spare room where an old man can live out his years ? I'll clean the pool and do other odd jobs around the grounds.
Thanks for the kind words Jimmy. I wonder whether, after time and practice, that finger orientation becomes the default for most people? It seems to me to be the most ergonomic and efficient "grip" for flipping and controlling the razor.

Mate, there is always room at our place
