I shaved my grandfather today

[papasmurf]

Well the tittle pretty much tells it all .

Today I went to the hospital to visit with my grandfather . while I was leaving from my house I called my grandmother to see if she needed a ride and she told me to bring a razor and some soap so I can shave him since he was looking a bit scruffy in the morning .


So I go to the shave den and start to decide what I should shave him with .
I pull out my new Kent T8 some Penhaligon's Blenheim bouquets and bring along some Aqua velva . for a razor I decided . I would pull out some thing special so I used my MINT toggle one that I have never used on my self . figuring it was probably the only time I would be able to shave my grandpa .

I get to the hospital and I kicked out all the family that was in the room pulled out a towel ran it under some hot water and let him enjoy a great shave I must admit I was extremely nervous as I have never shaved any one else before in my life and the last thing I want to do is cut my grandfather that is sick in the hospital (but then again if I was to cut him could we be in a better place? :lol: )


So I whip up some lather and off we go nice and slow not one Nick (except for me and him since I was named after him ). It was a very good shave with some very good results I would not mind doing it again as long as it is in his house and not on a hospital bed .


End of the story just thought I would share .

Nope not going to happen he cant handle the weight of the razor I gave him a slim and a fatboy since he had them in the past and loved them but they were to heavy for him and he was not able to shave with out cutting himself so I gave him a nice MINT blue tip and a great looking executive a little while ago also he stole my Mama bear Ylang ylang he loves the scent of it .

He should be back home new years eve . they are monitoring his heart right now and we will find out tomorrow if we can bring him home or not
