What is this nonsense? This consumer bullshit? Apparently Gillette have produced a six-blade razor – we’ve had two, then three, then vibrating ones and now six!! This is madness; trade madness and greed. Not only that these are gimmicks – they don’t work or make your chin any smoother than a single blade razor used properly. Surely any man worth his salt can learn how to shave properly. The question has to be asked who is this razor for? A gorilla about to take up a job in Canary Wharf? An ergonomically obsessive Sweeney Todd?

Maybe we’d all be better of living on the planet Xena? Shameful thing is we’d fuck that one up too.

Signed up to A Year Of Living Generously website in response to this consumer nonsense.

The smokers line up under the yew tree in the car park for a quick, lonely fag. Middle-aged men and women with consternation on their brows.

The 'scally' boys and men in their summer shorts and shades and the ubiquitous dog on a leash – usually a Staff or Pit Bull straining and panting – off down the bookies, even here on their holidays.
