I had to cut one of the team yesterday. It wasn't an easy decision. He'd been with us from the start, way back in England, performing his role every day except once when we wild camped near Melz. It was Disposable Razor.
I didn't want to drop him but he couldn't cut it any more. He was up to scratch, so he had to go. Tough decision but it had to be made. He took it well. I left him out in the morning in the hostel in Vienna and by the end of the day he'd gone.
Looking back, I'm glad I brought him along. One of my better choices. 22p from Superdrug. But there are others keen to take his place. He just didn't have the edge any more.
Yes, a tough decision but then, in a way, Dispozable Razor helped make me what I am today: "the Best a Man Can Be"..... Now where's the girl in the ad who is supposed to stroke my face and look lovingly at me?

Hi Martin!
ReplyDeleteCondolences for the loss of your team member!I can commiserate... My disposable razor broke its neck after a week or so - but as a replacement was only available with 19 others I decided to make do and struggled using my finger and thumb to cradle the head whilst dealing with the underarm stubble! At least it was passably sharp :-) happy pedalling!

Thanks Jackie. Someone after my own heart. Why buy another packet when there is still life left in the old blade. Martin
