mm a slow day in wa ..
watso still recalls the first ELECTRIC SHAVER in the household .. mmm mmm and that would have been about 60 years ago ....
watso's father had an accident - a major accident and there was no way that he could have shaved with a blade ..
an electric shaver back then would have cost an arm and a leg .. ok - just a moment in time that watso remembers - but dad in bed and mom carefully shaving with the electric shaver (a sunbeam - maybe ) ..
