Lol indeed, there is a fella who power walks where I live. See him every sunday morning without fail in all weathers.. striding along with a fast purpose, arms swinging.. but he's a jolly fellow who says hi to anyone he passes.

Or "power walking". There's a few round me - striding around with a serious expression, done up to the nines in designer tracksuit, sunglasses, sweat bands, etc.

jolly = fat = the walking isn't working!

They make cleaning fun! I have the Kaercher 160 psi washer - it makes cleaning the car and bike and absolute breeze!

i love my karcher! and so do the bikes and patio.

You know it's a german brand, when I went in to B&Q I asked for it in the correct pronunciation ("Kair-gher") - the woman just blinked at me! Lol!

perhaps the black boots and tiny moustache you wore surprised her a little?

Yes, it masks the smell of shaving foam, which doesn't smell great. To me anyway - I know/knew a guy who shaved every morning but never put anything on afterwards, so he always had a very curious smell about him, and I hated it.

Get some shaving foam, smell it and then think about smelling like that all day and then about when you are out and about, when you start to sweat, etc etc.
There are worse smells, it's true, but in actual fact, it always reminded me slightly of some sort of mild detergent.

So yes, Aftershave (or Aftershave Moisturiser) has it's purpose - to keep ME sane!
....Either that or take a shower after you have shaved and apply moisturiser once you have finished to avoid dehydrating your skin completely (i.e. to avoid it going all red and raw).


Next question!

But do you really want to walk around all day reeking of Old Spice or some such sicking smell? I remember a school teacher and you could always know if he was walking up behind you as the stick of Brut got stronger

Aftershave does make the skin feel better after shaving but I have never been able to find an unscented aftershave.

I never understood the point of Big Brother and other "reality TV" shows

I'll go first...

...after shave

It's meant to close the pores isn't it? I was advised to use a moisturising one by a doctor to reduce the incidence of shaving rash and infection, etc. It works for me.

I don't see the point in shaving most of the time...

Don't see the point of..... this thread. Actually I suppose it gives grumpy people a chance to complain.

No, it think she was more startled when I did this:
