Greetings,
(Boxing Day Shave.)
Another new eclectic shave set up to start to finish the last week of 2020.
The fine fresh vetiver soap was superb, producing a wonderful slick protective lather with a wonderful fragrance throughout the shave.
My normal boxing day morning tradition along with family and friends would be to venture down to the my local beach and watch, 'not to take part in' the traditional boxing day north sea dip!...'Sheer utter madness'!
This traditional mad boxing day event you witness grown men's genitals disappear in an instant once entering the freezing ice cold water of the north sea....But it's all in aid for our local needy charities, which is a wonderful thing...I always give my nieces & nephews extra money 'for themselves' not for charitable means, just for been so brave to enter the beyond belief freezingly cold north sea.
Each year they try to convince me to participate in the event, but i instantly turn into a 'cowardly hypochondriac' and tell them that if i enter the water my 'chronic rheumatism' will start playing me up ,and i can't take the risk as i may drown'...Sheer utter feeble lies, ..Their response is a rolling of eyes, and walk away in disgust...Let me try and defend myself by saying i'm no 'shrinking violet' and i was for many years a participant in this crazy charitable event but after a while it became a thought of dread rather than pleasure to take part in it anymore...Even if the UK has a massive record breaking summer heat wave the north sea is still 'FULL ON' cold!....Anyone who enters the north sea to swim, in the summer or winter in my opinion i have to say, 'The elevator doesn't go to the top floor' and urgently need to see a head doctor!. However, due to the covid-19 madness this year it's been Cancelled which i see as a blessing in disguise for those who participate in this mad eccentric charitable event. Enough said.
A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable boxing day shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Wilko ~ Men's Moisturiser.
My face is feeling very smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy your boxing day ladies & gentlemen.
