Just read Mikey's post below about getting a haircut and shave and how close a shave he got.
I was wondering why is it that if I shave every 3 days or so I can get a really close and smooth shave but if I have to shave 2 days on the trot my face feels like a piece of sandpaper? Just cant get that closeness that I can if I leave it for a few days.
Also, why cant I quite get the bristles around my adams apple. Try as I might, I can never get a smooth cut around there, shave up, down and sideways to no avail, still feels prickly.
Thanks.

Nailit.....My Dad told me, many years ago, that if you are attending some important event...job interview, wedding, etc, that you should always not shave for 2 days before. This was because you get a better shave if there is one or two days stubble there, for the razor to get its teeth into, so to speak, and I have always found that advice to be very sound.

The shave I got today was easily the closest one I have can remember, and certainly the only one ever without me being on the blunt end of the razor.

However, its not for the feint-hearted, and it wouldn't do to go to this barber if you had a persistent cough. The slightest move from you when he is wielding the cut-throat and you may end up in Casualty !

Give it a go, if you have an ethnic barber near you Nailit !

Thanks for reply Mikey. Must admit, Ive always fancied having a 'professional' shave with a cut throat at a barbers. Might put it on my 2015 to do list.
I had a complete shave / de-hairing in Turkey last year. It was very relaxing. Apparently 1 in 3 men now admit to having beauty treatments of which a warm shave is the most popular (according to a radio 'news' item). I only shave very two days and find that I get a closer shave and less irritation than every day.

Thanks guys.
Zacs...not sure if what I had done yesterday could be classed as a beauty treatment or not...if it was then it was an abject failure !
