Having just returned from holiday, and catching up on my web-reading, I'm delighted to find Danny's quill in top form [as usual]. A delightful collection of tales,
Danny42C ... thank you, as always.
And, on the subject of shaving, I used
one of these for many, many years. Extremely reliable and easy to use once the handle-pumping technique had been mastered. I wonder whether my father used it in WW2?
