Maybe they'll make some incredibly hot former lingerie model fall for a schlumpy married guy with absolutely no sex appeal as a rebound from her dead heart patient fiance.

Nah, too unbelievable!

re straight razor shaves

Once. In Cuba. I had left my razor at home, and could not find anything but disposable Bics in Cuba (and was wrongly told at the National Hotel shop that there were no "strong" metal cartridge-style razors available in Cuba - I saw them in a store two weeks later).

By that time my beard was too thick to use a disposable without painful and regrettable results, so I got a shave at a barbershop. $2.00, for what I am sure locals paid $0.50 for. It felt great - the hot towels, the cream, the scraping. It also felt good immediately after because he used some sort of lotion, but when I washed my face later, it was uneven, stubbly and I had several microcuts (not bleeding slices, but tiny red spots where the top of a raised pore had been nipped.

In the end, I agree with TM that no one can do your face as well as oneself, but if you were doing a straight-razor shave on yourself (with practice) it would be closer than a cartridge shave.

If you ever follow one of my favorite blogs, The Sartorialist....[hi Ty! I think he's a fan] he posts about getting a straight razor [I think] shave in Italy by old-school Italian Barbers. coolness.

the worse for me was i had to tell my mother in law how grateful I was and what a wonderful experience it had been.

The last time I lied so directly to her was when I was still dating her daughter and slept on the couch in mom's apartment.

Still nothing. Even via the link.

Ok, this was a shockingly long walk for amazingly little payoff, but here it is:

did you ever think that all these complaints and rules you have for women might be excuses to help you keep denying the fact that you're a future faggot? I mean when you post those pictures they're always the most fake plastic women. it all adds up.

I just had my first barber shave. maybe it's time for you to have a first time experience of your own?

Good point, but I should probably ease my way into it by checking out the buff guys in the locker room at the gym.

Is it just me or did they choose George's wife based on a request by him that if he had to be with a woman for the show, they could at least find him one that looked like a man?

As it happens, my sister got the fantastic ratio genes in the family. I'm sure you two would be very happy together.
