One Too Many
Just thought I'd pass on a trick I worked out, I got an Akubra on ebay that arrived not too bad with a couple of mothpits but on the crown there was a patch about the size of a 2-bob, (or a quarter to you yanks) where obviouly a label or patch of hard glue had been torn away leaving the felt very distressed and raised quite high with torn fluff if you get the picture, and unfortunately I didn't take one. I fixed it to about 90% by getting my M3 shaver with the small triple blades, and just shaving that crap off! It worked better than I could have hoped...now it takes a good look in sunlight to see the damaged patch, and at night...no worries....aren't I brilliant.
