    Reading glasses

    I use to have glasses everywhere, now it's just one pair of Varifocals. Steadily over the last four years my prescription has gone up each year. All down to age. The Varifocals took a couple of weeks to get use to but they are great now, the only time they come off is fo taking photographs.

    Traditional shaving! Who here partakes?

    On the subject of stropping a DE blade yes it can be done, some even hand strop. But at pennies a blade is it worth it ? I usually use a blade for three shaves and bin. The Gillette Tech is a great razor, Super Speeds are great too if your looking for a vintage. If it's new and your...

    Traditional shaving! Who here partakes?

    I have been using DE shavers for a few years now. I've a few razors and 12 brushes of various grades, boar, badger and synthetic. Soaps well must be 20 plus on the go. I was attracted by cheap blades but got sucked in to a more luxurious shave. Here's just a selection. Blades wise I must...

    Removing a tick with a Q tip.

    The advice from the Lyme Disease website and NHS is not to use anything other than tick removal tools. While they may not like it tools are a quick and effective method, most if not all other methods result in the tick being stressed or dying. The last thing they do is to regurgitate the...
