just further commitment to me presenting the more abstract and mundane aspects of life. or, specifically, one would suppose, my life. look you see. so yes, this is really little more than me declaring to the world, or the aspects of the world which elect to spend time looking at this, that i have as point of fact procured a new toothbrush.
well, to be (somewhat) specific, toothbrushes, for i determined it to be wise to get two (2) whilst i was out and about. and out and about i was in a general sense. so no, i didn't set off on a crusade to get a new toothbrush (or multiples thereof); buying them was a kind of spontaneous, live for the moment, YOLO kind of thing. that, as they say, is how i roll.
no, of course i am not quite the wild man that suggests. as it happens i was aware that i, most probably, did need to get a new toothbrush and it was that i remembered (or recalled) this as i passed a shop that sold such. well, not passed it, near it.
my choices, showcased here in some filter or other on that VHS camera "app" thing i have, were of a firm brush and a soft brush. what, precisely, is the difference? no idea. my guess is that one of them has a softer, delicate feel, where the other is somewhat no nonsense. as to which would best suit my needs in respect of brushing teeth, i don't rightly know. the plan i have, although using the word "plan" feels quite the exaggeration, is to have both on the go (in my perfectly serviceable toothbrush holder) at the same time, using whichever one i grab. let the dice fall as they may.
speaking of choice (well writing of it) i did spent what felt (in retrospect) a disproportionate amount of time deliberating which "colour" brush of each to get. ultimately i selected a black one for the soft and a purple one for the firm. after selecting them i did pass comment to one of the staff in the shop, offering up as a sort of conversation started that i wasn't at all sure why i spent so much time on choice of colour for i could not see what difference to the toothbrush it would make, which elicited a kind of polite laugh or agreeable chortle. such exchanges allow one (moi) to pretend that i have some sort of social life, no matter how vague or oblique.
yes, i think it would be (considerably) better if the "firm" ones were called "hard". soft and hard go together as a sort of ying-yang (or whatever) sort of thing. presumably they don't do this so as not to attract the wrong kind of image. it would be terrible if society all of a sudden became littered with people who liked to style themselves as a "hard man", and do things like show off the fact that they only use a "hard" toothbrush because that's how hard they are. maybe i am overthinking this.
exactly how often should one (or you) change or otherwise replace their toothbrush? this is something which can be added to the (fairly) extensive list of things that i simply have no idea on. or about. possibly more frequently than i have, although as far as i can tell no harm has befallen me for using the ones what i had for maybe longer than i should. the bristles or whatever they are called (the brush bit) were starting to look most distressed, so i figured new ones were required.
provenance fans will wish to know some more details. i think the shop what i got them off is called Savers or something like that, and they were £1 each. the latter does not strike me as an unreasonable cost at all, really. especially as i quite like the "feel" of the handle on this type of toothbrush. what, exactly, would be the "usual" price for such an item is again something i am not aware of.
right, i think that just about (or more or less) covers anything i could say about this particular subject. there is indeed a distinct possibility that i wrote far too much, but if reading it all gave you something to do (possibly even was slightly, or accidentally, interesting) there is that.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
