@Kalimna thanks.   I would definitely go for underwear.  Probably cycling shorts to be on the safe side.

I was best man at my brother in laws wedding and as he's half Scottish he insisted all the blokes in the family wore kilts. Not wanting to go commando, I Instead wore one of my wife's skimpy pink thongs. Surprisingly liberating.

I tried to see whether there were any builders prepared to pave paradise and put up a parking lot with a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot ..... over a shallow grave ...... but they declined.

Well that would have been the sensible thing to do, but where's the fun in that.

I use fusion razors (Gillette not some sort of atomic reaction power) I find it difficult to rinse every last spot of whisker/skin debris from between the blades  even by blasting with the cold tap at high pressure , I’m obviously missing a secret all these years , it annoys me as I feel it’s unsanitary to have bits there fermenting with bacteria . 

Ps talking of Gillette fusion , you know Beckham used them & advertised them I wonder if they gave him a huge carton of blades  I was thinking of the luxury of having a new one each day , wouldn’t that be something 

Maybe you've tried already but what I do is if bashing the fking thing on the sink doesn't dislodge the debris, I use an old toothbrush to brush it all away.  
Some people also have a small glass of alcohol by the sink all the time where they leave razors (and even toothbrushes) in head down.  One day i might do that as well.  

Good idea on the alcohol but our barret house bathroom is frighteningly small with no room to stand anything . Good idea on the toothbrush, I did used to have a little brush that was designed for electric razors, I think I may get a toothbrush though and use that . Thank you . 

I thought that you could use unwanted water piks for this job. You could put the razor on the other side of the bathroom and still clean between the blades once you get used to controlling them.

Control freak bosses.  My job involves looking after critical infrastructure - failure of which would make the news.  I'm part of a small specialist team headed by a man who cannot delegate.  I get it that it's vital that nothing goes wrong and that his head is on the block if it did, but FFS...  What's the point in having a team if you won't trust any of them to do the jobs they're employed for ?  On a personal level, he's a lovely guy but on a professional one, he's a nightmare.

He is overworked and stressed because he rarely delegates anything other than the unimportant minutiae and we're all stressed because we're doing fuck-all all day.

My daughter brought me “Razorpit” which is for cleaning fusion blades.Its like q sort of rubber material which you rub the blade over.It really works and the blades last for ages as their clean all the time.I did notice that it got patent pending on it so don’t know if you can them.If you can buy one.

rustneversleeps

Just checked you can still buy them (“Razorpit) It save you a lot of money on blades .

Hold up....   That's not for the 'things that irritate you' thread....  That's for its counterpart!

I'm also now going to get one of those razorpit things!  They look fantastic!

The way that American meteorologists and newsreaders are pronouncing 'Beryl' as in 'Hurricane Beryl.' It comes out as 'Burrrl.'

If it was Hurricane Craig it would be Kregg, and I'm waiting for Hurricane Fanny to come along.
