Rugged and Windswept

Apparently rugged and windswept doesn’t cut it anymore.

I can safely say that this marketing hype bullshit is being ignored. I’m not even sure if it’s aimed at me and my unwavering self-confidence in my ruggedly handsome looks, or my wife, hoping that she’ll go out and spend spend spend.

Whatever happened to chicks dig scars? Especially since I tried facial tree felling and got my first good one.

And I think I’ll stick to the razor for my cycling legs, thank you ver’ much. The alternative is just Wrong.

    Oh my, Veet for Men!
    WRONG as you say!

    Because men have different hair to women?

    Surely ‘normal’ Veet would work? A friend of mine who played with his girlfriend’s Immac when he was bored in the bath once ended up with very itchy testicles when it grew back, so that works on men…

    Is there a manly way to shave your legs, though?

    I can confirm that they do itch, yes.
    I’ve had two vasectomies now. I wouldn’t recommend shaving against the clock, when they bring your operation forward 2 hours. You’re out on the bike half an hour from home, half an hour’s drive from the clinic, and you get the call to arrive in 90 minutes time ;-)

    You should always shave WITH the clock, Steve.
