Multiblade razors are a huge ripoff

[Mary Fisher]

I can't see the point in anyone shaving at all - particularly only certain areas*. There are some men with silly little apologies for beards and they spend ages shaving ROUND them. What's the point?

Men grow hairy chins. Why argue with that?

• I've just thought of one - if hair would interfere with surgery, as it would have done when my brain was seen to.

Then start a new thread about how to make one ;-)

Happy memories with that with the wife :-)

Ingram shaving cream. Menthol and you don't need aftershave.

[Colin Wilson]

It's not bad, but I simply refilled the tube with bog-standard Palmolive - does just as well :-)

[Frank Erskine]

I rarely use aftershave, especially if moisturising ;-)

[Frank Erskine]

Tube? It comes in a 6·6 oz tub!

'Moisturising' 'Sunderland' Are you having a laugh? Why eye man!

I'd rather you used an "aye" in this context! A razor and eye together in this thread are not happy bedfellows in my mind!

All this aside, maybe some pundit could chime in here and explain the notion that the closest shave can be had by shaving only in the direction of the hair growth. This has never worked for me - I've always had to repeat in different diections and, even then, have to work at it with much gurning, skin stretching, & so on. Multiple-bladed razors don't make this any different.

Shaving in bed?

I wasn't after making one, but getting my grandfather's Naval sword refurbished. It isn't a Wilkinson anyway - their archivist was very helpful.

:) I'd rather not, thank you!
