Today, 113 years ago, my daddy was born.
Now that I am the age of a grandfather, or great-grandfather, I realize how little I have treasured his wisdom. And I don't speak well of him because he died: I speak well of him because, while he was still alive, I was able to appreciate his wisdom. It's just too bad I didn't do it sooner.
I still remember his struggles with shaving and I inherited his Ball End Tech and his Omega.
They are legally mine, although I have no idea where they ended up....
However, now that I have an exaggerated amount of razors and brushes, today I managed to find a brush small
enough to draw a wonderful lather from a somewhat small bowl and a modern razor: I managed not to use anything vintage, my weakness as much aesthetically as functionally.
I offer you a very sad photo that, in my imagination, should have been very, very different.
But... you are used to it, aren't you?
