Description:
Australia and its formation - through the distorted view of a rum bottle.
Could the Rum Rebellion have been averted if Major Johnston wasn't hungover?
Would the Eureka Stockade have been different if the rebels weren't pissed?
How were prisoners to get drunk if Macquarie closed the only pub in the gaol?
And why should sailors under fourteen be deprived of their sixteen shots of rum per day?
These are just some of the questions raised in Matt Murphy's account of Australia's colonial history. Brimming with detailed research and irreverent character sketches, Rum looks at not just how much was drunk in colonial Australia (a lot!), but also the lengths people went to get their hands on it, the futile efforts of the early governors to control it, and the often disastrous and/or absurd consequences of its consumption.
Those consequences aren't just in our past. Murphy goes beyond foundation stories to look at the legacy our love affair with alcohol has created, from binge drinking to lockout laws and from prohibition to urinating on the parliamentary carpet.
So here's to Rum, for making bad decisions look like a good idea at the time.

Nice feel
Color: Matte Silver
Feels good in the hand. It has some weight to it. I like the fact you can change out the blades. Way better than the cheap plastic disposable razors.

Great Exfoliator
Color: Matte Gold
Beautiful gold color, nice ergonomic feel and weight. I had been using disposable plastic razors, and thought I would take a chance on this more professional styled one for dermal exfoliation as well as my eyebrows. This razor is sharp, but it is easily managed when start gently, you don’t slide it in a cutting fashion, just use it on taught skin, and lift it up for repositioning. When I did my brows, there was no evidence of hair growth left behind. AWESOME! This razor comes with spare blades as well as replacement parts if needed. It has a rubbery silicone cap to slide on and off easily, but not fall off creating danger. The razor has a small accessible prong to easily slide it out for replacement. It comes nicely packed with detailed instructions. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to take a decade off of their skin. I would recommend a professional if you have any shakiness though.
