    It quite amazes me, the places where one can grow hair as one gets older.

    Have you consider stopping shaving?
    Grow a beard and just trim it every now and then?
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

      How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

        Funny, I don't recall writing most of the above posts by me. Time for a thread on Alzheimers.

          It is the mods making posts in your name. They want this thread to be the new tpd.

            I only get a couple of runs with a mach-3, but they are still the best razors you can buy in my opinion. I've tried most of them, the Wilkinson Sword ones always look appealling but never deliver the goods (or they tear your face apart).

            I didn't think the fusions were that good (certainly not for twice the price). Lecky shavers are useless for me too. I find it's quicker to have a wet shave. 10 mins is typical for a lecky shave on me and I still have a rough face so I don't bother anymore.

            I use shaving oil now and it helps soften up your stubble. Stick it on after a shower in the morning, wait 5 mins for it to soak in and then use foam/gel. Works great for me and smooth as silk afterwards.

              As in many other personal activities, it is better to ‘lube up’ before.

                  Blimey...reading this thread would give the impression that we have all reached puberty at the same time.

                  If you want a REAL shave, as opposed to the Gillette / Wilkinson Sword buy a new blade every day rubbish then click here

                  Alternatively, if you are really hardcore and never want to buy blades again, this is what you need.
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
