The days are getting warmer as the day light hours spread even further
into the evening. The birds singing their early morning calls will soon start
just after 4am waking up the light sleepers among us. Lighter garments have
replaced our winter clothes, and for some people even their hairstyles will get
shorter. The only thing that seems to be getting thicker is men’s beards. I
prefer the clean shave look, although I have had the odd failed attempt at
growing more than just a few days growth.
Although Christmas has long gone I still had one present to use. My wife
had bought a voucher for a cutthroat razor shave at Swagger and Jacks. When she
purchased the gift the advice was that for best effect at least five days
growth would be required. Eventually as the days got longer, I decided to use
it before the heat of summer arrived. I went ten days without a shave, which is
a record for me.
I entered into the plus looking interior and the staff greeted me with a
smile. They offered me a comfortable chair to wait for my barber, and a cup of
coffee too. I looked at all the staff beavering away. They all sported neatly
trimmed beards. I did wonder at this
stage if they had any experience with a cutthroat, but I need not have worried.
Once in the seat the Barber explained the process to me, and as I lay back with
my eyes closed, he treated me to an hour of sear man pampering.
It was a truly
relaxing experience. I started off by thinking about some of the deadly scenes
in my two books, Frenzy a Daniel Jones Story and Daniel Jones Doom, were
various characters meet their own doom at the end of a sharp instrument, but by
the end I could have fallen asleep it was that relaxing.
I have contemplated if I could beat my ten-day
record for growing facial hair so I could pay Swagger and Jacks another visit,
but then again you never need an excuse for some pampering, no matter what your
gender.Regards
