| Electric razors work for kids, but not men.

Aye. They'll take a bit of bum fluff off, but so will cream and a cat...Tweezers for the odd nasal hair (never a good look). Scissors for eyebrows.

| On the subject of male grooming, I have had to go industrial when it comes to my toenails. Sidecuts and a cordless Dremel are the only things that work

My big toenails are thick as fook. I usually get the female of the moment to chop them after a bath softening session. Who said romance is dead?

It's probably a fungal infection and takes about 6 months of swallowing tablets to get shut. I'm friggin useless at remembering to take prescription drugs, so I just settled for the Dremel & sidecuts

Probably, but one doesn't do doctors, so one wouldn't know...I always get a big toenail cut first, hopefully in a oner, then I can bit down on the nail as I get a little nervous when somebody else is chopping them. I do hope the fungal infection can't be transferred to ones gob.

Yes, the older you get the harder it is to cut them! It is impossible without having had a bath! I use dissecting scissors - surgical instruments seem to just about do the big toe nails.

| Does anyone have any experience of using disposable blade cut throat razors? I keep looking at them and wondering if they're any good.

| toe nails need to be cut (as youve all said after a long soak to get them softened) every 2 to 3 weeks. makes life lot easier than doing them twice a year.!!
IMO of course.

| I use a Gillette Fusion razor at uni with cream & a brush, because I just don't have time for a proper shave, but if I get the money together, I get the bus to nearby Newcastle Under Lyme where the Turkish barbers does the whole lot for a decent price. Hot towels, moisturiser, massage, cologne.

| Every electric shaver I've ever used missed bits and ended up being more of a pain than a disposable. I seem to be lucky with skin - I don't bother with any foam or anything except water and have never had a rash.

| I used a rechargeable philishave (with the floating heads) that worked quite well so long as you didn't leave it too many days and made sure to use a dry shave lotion. I've got sensitive skin and they weren't too bad (I still have it) when I used it days gone by when I was a 'suit' and couldn't be d with a wet shave before the commute in the big smoke.
The newer ones like the senso touch should be much better and if you absolutely need to shave every day (Some city based corporations are a PITA for this) then I would get one of these. At 130 sheets it sounds like a lot but compare that to a decent disposible blades and it it works out good value over time.

Are you sure? Do you protest too much?

I never get a rash using just soap, but just water, that's hardcore. That'd pull my faces to pieces.
