Astra Superior Platinum (10x)

Proraso works well without a brush and is cheap. I actually prefer it to my far more expensive soaps and creams. You need to give it a good rubbing motion with your fingers but it'll definitely do the job. It's very available in Ozzie although their site is down right now so I can't link it.

guess i should have a shave. weeks worth of growth and i look like a hobo... weird how more hair grows on my face than my head hence its shaved short lol.
 
3-4 days worth looks alright on me but that 'growth period' looks like i can't afford to shave and anything after just looks damn scruffy! :D
 
Somewhat shaving-related story...

Discovered this evening that one of the utter tards living above me is shaving his head and putting the shavings in a towel and then shaking the towel around outside their bathroom window directly over and onto my garden and right by our bedroom door, which is often partially open at this time of year. We also often keep the pram (and our baby!) directly below that window to get some fresh air while in the bedroom. So basically this guy is throwing his shavings out over us. I've caught him doing it 4 times now and finally decided to confront him about it. He actually admitted to it.

Apparently it is unreasonable of me to have complained about this. :confused:

On what planet is it ok to do something like this? Seems totally bizarre to me! I mean, seriously... who does this?! You just put your shavings in the damned bin and take the rubbish out, right? Or shave into the sink or something.

Plumb your toilet up in to his window.
 
Thinking about getting myself a D89L. Is there any where that sells a set of different blades so I can find the right one?
