Bossybabe Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Use bottled water Yeah. When I lived there in the late '80s, it was reckoned that London water had been through 8 people before it got to your tap. Grow a beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mail-order blades? If you're coming down by train, I recommend you should do it in Durham or York. If you're absolutely desperate - then Grantham at the very latest. I tried it in Peterborough once - but I didn't like it... XYY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyguy Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 You must be a metrosexual then? When I first went to London, I thought of: dirty women, dirty women, pron shops, weed, curry. Having a shave really did not crop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The XYY Man Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Peterborowksi? Is that an actual word in the dictionary like spyguy...? Am hoping so mate - as on a triple-word square, it's a canny score in Scrabble...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blobloblob Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Don't worry about shaving. You'll fit right in. This.

Gigantic Purple Slug Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Surely if you get a shave in London the disease ridden filth will infect the cuts on your face. You'll have to chop your head off to prevent the infection spreading, or maybe do something worse. Out in the country round my way Old Ted, the guy who normally cuts off sheeps testicles will give you the perfect shave to within an inch of your life with his trusty combine harvester. He only takes a couple of handfuls of berries as payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecrashingisles Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I saw a video on Facebook a while ago showing how a designer shaving place somewhere in New York operated. They stuck wax up people's nostrils and used it to pull out all the hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
