Ha! I love it - The Barber of Seville does pussy shaving!

And his reward for doing an excellant, stubble-free shave would be ....

Having done such an admirable job of perfoming his service, I should think that our amico Figaro should be allowed to use his tough brown leather razor strop for something other than sharpening his razor.

Don't you? ;-)

Bravo, Figaro!
Bravo, bravissimo,
Fortunatissimo!

Curiously, there is a passage in "The Barber of Seville" that touches (metaphorically) on our mutual interest here:

Rosina (the heroine) concludes a letter (which Figaro later reads) with these words:

"Siate pero certo che tuto a disposito a fare per rompere le sue catene, la sventurata, Rosina"

or, roughly translated "Be assured that the unhappy Rosina is entirely disposed to break her chains"

('le sue catene' means ' her chains', or perhaps ' her bondage')
