Saw these guys performing this last night - "Shave off your beard and you're dead ....." - seemed appropriate!! If you get a chance, go and see them, they're a hoot - fine musicians too!!
As the (bearded) Bard said, "He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man."
When I lived in NY, I used to treat myself once a month and go to a little Italian barbershop where they gave me a full wet shave with the old cutthroat razor. Never had a shave as close as that - truly wonderful (but a bit scary - I always remained perfectly still whilst he was doing it! He never cut me - absolutely brilliant!)
It's truly an international sport these days. I remember watching a game of ping pong in Bangkok once, the girl had a very unusual service style I must say.
Good luck with that. I spent plenty for the full works, hot towel etc. Only for the bloke to say he had to finish off with a modern razor ( Gillette in this instance) due to H&s. Never been convinced about that.
I use a double edged razor - brush and bowl. The shave is far better plus having used it a few times I would never use gilettes blue/green gloop in a can again. Use a proper shaving cream
http://www.iwcp.co.uk/news/news/cowes-counts-the-cost-of-massive-fire-93826.aspx Big fire in Cowes last night....luckily no one injured, but businesses and boats in storage destroyed including classic yachts. Started with one car fire, but boatyard and garage full of inflammable material. Miracle no one hurt, but a lot of jobs at risk.
http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/bob-insists-earth-flat-claims-7246530 Rapper says Earth is flat and we have been deceived. How could we be so stupid? Just one question....even if true (not by the way)...what would the powers that be gain from telling us the world is round rather than flat?
What? You would rather be governed by the likes of Boris, George and DC. No thanks!! Much better being "ruled" as some say by Angela Merkel. She has more common sense that the entire UK cabinet (the presence of Michael Gove and Hammond says it all about the Government)
What's it like back in the UK folks? Here it is very sunny and 19C. Actually we need some of the rain that the UK is currently getting. It has rained twice since the beginning of November.
