    Default Confession

    Hello all,

    It's been a while since I was last here, so I thought I'd check in and say hello to all of you people here that make straight shaving even more pleasurable!

    I do have a confession to make though... I'm growing a beard for the winter (not that this climate calls for one but because I never have before and I want to see what all the fuss is about). First impressions are: I miss straights and I'm very uncomfortable! I'll keep at it for a little while longer and see where I get too. I just don't want to lose (the little) touch I had with the SR!

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    Regards,

    James

    Enjoy the scritchies!

    Hey James, it was pretty bloody cold in Darlington today. A beard may be in order, my wife would probably like me to grow one again but I can't stand wearing one.

    I'm in the same boat, i'm growing mine for the winter. I'm using clippers to keep it tidy and less hobo like, and just taking the top portion off and the neck portion.


    I'm going to need a bigger bathroom

    Yo' James, you're a better man than I am Gunga Din
    After four days of non-shaving I'm all itchy and scratchy !!

    So far our Autumn has been quite mild and "The Beard Thing" is quite unnecessary !!
    However, there is an option
