A book about shaving and what it feels like. The steps and the process. The details. The simplicity of it.

Hand made, stab bound photobook. Edition of 20.

Images digitised from a single roll of Kodak Tri-X shot at 800ASA with an Olympux OM-1. The photographs are of Mark Elliott and were taken in Manchester on the 9th of September 1984.

I was living in a flat London at the time (Finsbury Park) and here is my diary entry for that day. I evidently spent the day with Mark and then got the train back to London.

Saturday 9th September 1984
and Mark in fine fettle.
he shaved and I took the photos.
and the cut-up vid stuff – Bruce Forsyth etc. went down well at the Haç says Mark.
and a train to Picadilly and a wait and a seat.
and back to the flat and all is well and nothing exciting waiting for me.
