So this weekend I achieved a first, as I managed to crash a powered vehicle and not require the presence of the emergency services to get me out….

*thankfully*

Low speed incident in a car park, sadly it will be down as my fault and not that of the person doing 20+ MPH in a place with a speed limit of 10 MPH, one of those things I guess, and no one was hurt, just my pride and McQeen.

So in a fit of pique I’ve decided I’m not going to subscribe to the “best a man can get” disposable over packaged and over priced crap that is peddled to men every day any more and I’m going to grow a beard.

Only joking, one I can’t and two it would be a stupid colour, instead I’ve gone and purchased a double edged (DE) razor, so clearly the next steps will be an attempted shave with it tomorrow, a trip to A&E and later a humble pie posting on here swearing I’ll never leave my Mach3 blades….

….except at the moment I’m out of blades and I begrudge paying over 10 quid for a pack of 8 blades (or more for the magic battery powered affair I have on my gym bag) and I’ve had enough of over packaging and blade inflation and all that crap, I was given a lesson in wet shaving thanks to Octavia a while ago and while it was great and taught me a better shave it seems like cheating to use one of the more modern less sharp and well made plastic mulit-bladed affairs on offer.

So next stop will be to get a badger bristle brush, some soap and a load of bits of tissue all ready for dabbing on to the inevitable cuts, of course I also need to get some more Coral Skin food from Trumpers
