    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?

    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

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.

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

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