Shaving tip
I read in Neil Gaiman's blog yesterday the tip that if you want a clean shave, then rub your stubble with hair conditioner, leave for a couple of minutes and then shave.

I tried it last night, and it really works.

Harlan Ellison!
Genius and slightly nuts. He once got chucked out of a bar because Frank Sinatra thought he looked scruffy.

the problem with that is
first you need a girlfriend who lives with you who *buys* hair conditioner ...

Excellent
Now I know what to do with the bottle of conditioner I bought, thinking it was shampoo.

yeah, but if you want to be a real man, you don't shave.

Does this work
on other hairy bits?

Specifically scroti, or whatever the plural of scrotum is. It's not a plural you use a lot is it?

It's
scrota, actually (since you cared, like).

works well for women too
And helps to avoid razor burn....unless you have *really* sensitive skin.

This is good because...
...in a rush to leave the house in a week where I am working away from home, my entire washkit comprises

a) a bottle of hair conditioner
b) a dodgy-looking disposable razor a colleague brought back from the Philippines.

This had better work, or Gaiman's in trouble.
