Two bits

[bookofdanielvol2]

There are few things better than a good shave after four or five days without one, when one has time to enjoy the ritual of it.  My first decade of shaving was wasted with electric razors of varying qualities, then spent several more with disposable Bic razors.  Now I shave like our grandfathers did - double-edged safety razor with Wilkinson Sword blades, brush and shaving soap, though as a modern concession I still use gel aftershave.  When there's time to enjoy the ritual it really is one of life's simple pleasures.
