The Grand Shave!

Last night my wife noticed her grandfather sport an uneven shave. One would imagine that @ the age of 99 and a few months away from his centenary, this would not matter!

However my better half's recent and not so recent exposure to military life has honed her inspection skills (also the fact that my dad shaves every day at 4:30 am be sun,rain,storm, I get away as I have her thinking of me as of one of the special forces kind and sporting a stubble every now and then)

Why not a clean shave? Whats the matter? A General inspecting his men would have missed out on noticing but not my better half.

But sharp that he is @ 99 , he softly explained that Philips had let him down. They apparently have not yet perfected the electric shaver with heads that can outlive him, (yes Philips you have 99 old users ,kindly inform your R&D team at the earliest)

In the back of his mind, he was probably calculating the amount of money he has spent shaving till date or thinking why he does not have at least a board position or a say in R&D in any of shaving industry majors with his experience of the perfect shave? Then there is the whole after shave market!!

Anyway the General was quick to react and special forces are not special without skills, Amazon it was , a quick confirmation by the end user to a model and on its way is a new Philips Electric Shaver  (How i wish an army was actually able to react and acquire inventory so quick with end user approval).

And it is with admiration that I got out of bed this morning, having hope that even @ 99 one can look forward to the day and in the case of the Good Old Chap , a GRAND SHAVE!

God Speed Amazon, this is one delivery I hope you don't delay.
