re: #13 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
hi
The Post Office just delivered a package to my house. My wife said it was my “half-birthday” present, since she did not get me a present on my birthday. (I don’t really do birthday celebrations.)
The package was from Sweden; it is a Swedish straight razor, along with a badger-bristle shaving brush, Swedish shaving soap, lavender after shave lotion, and a silver stand to hold the brush and razor, along with a leather and linen strop.
I once had a can of shaving cream with the label in like six European languages, one of them being Danish.
It said it was for “sensitive skin”, or in Danish “Følsom Hud”
I immediately imagined a Far Side cartoon portraying a Western barbershop with
a large shadowy figure looming in the doorway and the Barber shouting, “Quick! fetch the hot towels and lavender water!! It’s FØLSOM HUD!!!”
