Reply to: Beards and shaving

[shaunbhoy]

How long before the next super-duper razor comes out with 6 blades? I mean FFS? How many do you really need? Why not just stick your head into your lawn mower?

That's disgusting. No way am I drinking Fosters.

WHS. I'd rather have a soft drink

WH&SS.

Back OnT: I wore a beard for many years when I had long hair, purely because I loathe shaving, but the damn thing was a disgrace: stringy and threadbare, with hints of ginger despite my natural hair colour being of the blonde to light brown variety. When my natural hair colour decided to switch to grey I got rid of the long hair, which meant the beard had to go too - it was bad enough as an accessory after the fact, but no way could it be a primary feature.

This meant that I had to learn how to shave properly in my late thirties. It's not as easy as it looks on the telly

good effort though. it's good to know you can rough it with the real men.
your next challenge is to drink a pint of wee. not your own either

Well I had a half hearted go with shaving with a yellow bic, sans water or other lubricants, today and the results are as follows: I just tried on the neck, which is probably the easiest place second only to below the sideburns, and this worked okay. I didn't attempt the chin area as the stubble was a bit too long. No doubt the moustache area would have been a pain, literally. It is possibly a possible possibility with lesser stubble and a sharp razor, but at this point I whipped out the electric shaver and was done with it.

Perhaps you're just hideously ugly and they are suggesting it to be kind

Nope. They feel it makes me look "distinguished", in a sort of Trevor Eve meets Captain Birds Eye kind of way.

Does anyone shave their balls?

Soap works for shaving too?

Yep. Using soap as the shavnig lubricant stops you getting a shaving rash, too.

The ancient Romans were clean-shaven. They saw it as a mark of civilization that set them above the barbarians that they conquered.

And, I believe, the hair on their head was kept sufficiently short that it could not be grasped by an enemy.

The Old Bill do that today.
