1969 - Rhubarb & Lipstick

Here's what I usually look like:

Brilliant cause. This year I have shaved off my fantastically outrageous handlebar so that I don't steal the thunder of the 20 or so blokes at work (and on a UK-based shaving forum) who are participating in Movember. Once they have shaved theirs off on 1st December my normal face-furniture will be r...

Hi gents. I received a Boots stick among other things from a friend in the UK. I like the scent of the Boots, but won't use the stick until tomorrow. Surely I can't be the first to use it. How'd you like it? It's not bad. A nice woody scent which matches the Boots "Freshwood" aftershave ....

The aftershave gel (Kanwa?) is a much better product to spend your hard-earned on.

It's expensive and has four more blades than hobby shavers would like but the Gillette Fusion ProGlide is simply the very best cartridge razor available.

The Hydro by Wilkinson Sword (Schick?) is a close second but only if you use their shaving gel ... something to do with the moisturising strip.

Have a listen to Professor Elemental and Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer.

Yes it's rap . . . but NOT as you know it.

VERY English, and very tongue-in-cheek. I'm sure some of you will love it.

We call it CHAP HOP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chap_hop

I like the fact that it isn't as 'fussy' as other forums.

Just basic, simple.

Simple is good.

I remember discussing Floris Lavender and that it was only available in the Highgrove range.

Well I got the Summer Sale catalogue today and saw Lavender in there so checked on-line and there it is.

The blue one?

Yes.

It is every bit as good as Speick and Valobra sticks.

More of a waxy soapy smell than the 'fatty' smell of Valobra or the 'spicyness' of Speick.

Squire wrote:When my mentor in law took the bar exam in the 1930's his Father gave him one as a lucky coin and when I took the bar exam in the 70's he passed it on to me.

Is a mentor-in-law a mentor that you're related to by marriage, by any chance?

I have never applied the soap from a stick to my face.

Always ... stick to brush and then brush to face.

Oh, and Palmolive really is the best value shaving product in the entire history of shaving, by a country mile.

At less than $0.75 a stick it's a 'no-brainer' surely?

You should have asked me last week.

Today?

Tomorrow?

Who knows?

Generally, Premier League footballers are vacuous idiots motivated by money and status symbols and I'm glad I stopped being a walking wallet for them 20 years ago. Playing for your country should be the ultimate reward for any player but as there's no cash incentive, the international stage means le...

This isn't about a team being beaten by better squads - although that certainly is the case - to me it's about a system gone to the dogs. Club ball in England has become the focus, while national competitions have taken a back seat. I have followed England all over Europe and spent more money than ...

Try Davidoff Cool Water before thinking about buying Creed Green Irish Tweed. To 90% of the population they smell the same. There will be a number of people out there who will be able to tell you what they think are the minor differences between them and there are a handful who will try to convince ...

SWMBO and I are heading over to England next week for our annual "dust-up" with the family. I'm going to be on the look out for a bottle of The King's Ginger. Of course I'll be re-stocking with TOBS and Trumpers whilst in St Peter Port, Guernsey...no VAT :D It has become more popular sinc...

I discovered this a few years ago and now I always get a bottle in winter from Berry Bros. & Rudd on St James' St.

Absolutely brilliant stuff and ideal for cold, snowy nights (indoors or out).

With the greatest respect, if DEs were/are better to shave with than cartridges then cartridges wouldn't have got a look in.

If something no work, people no buy. Simples!

Just had the Summer 2012 Floris catalogue delivered.

Six antique bottles, adorned with a real diamond and filled with 60ml of the recently re-released perfume 'Royal Arms' are for sale for the price of £15,000 !!!

Don't all rush at once.
