Shaving, wet or dry?

[BrowneIssue]

When you have an operation in hospital you have to dry shave. I just happened to need an operation on my leg near those parts that only your mother or nearest and dearest should see. etc.

I had my wedding tackle shaved when I was in hospital when about 14.

An Irish fellah did it: cut throat razor. Grasped my foreskin between two fingers, pulled and looked me in the eye.

He then soaped me up with a badger's brush (in about 3 seconds) and shaved my bits smooth as a baby's bum without looking down.

Obviously, I didn't breathe. IIRC, my heart stopped too.

He talked at me through the process about when he was in hospital his wife brought him in a bottle of Lucozade every day. Remember how it had a yellow cellophane wrapping? It actually contained Scotch!

FFS What a bunch of effeminate ponces with yer gels, oils and creams.
Have used a Braun for years - not perfect but no need of all your girly implements.
The only oil you need is a drop of motor oil in the shaver every month or so.

Pah! If you electric shave before you wash, you never need to oil it.

pah shaving in the shower is easy

move out of the stream of water so the foam,gel, oil, lard does not get washed off

and use your hands to feel for the stubble bits/bits you have missed

takes about 2-3 minutes which means I can go from bed to dressed in about 12 minutes (incuding drying and dressing)

which is useful when you spend all night playing games and have to get kids to school/nursery in the morning.

dry shaves - not ever would rather grow a beard horrible things
