    Shaving, blood and white dress shirts

    Been there--in my case the only fancy shave I ever got--Trumper's in Curzon St. Sweeney Todd of Mayfair. Good thing the girl I was going on to meet had a sense of humor. Impressed, really, that a Yank could find the best barber in town and still come away bloody.... The shirt was a goner.
