Most men these days either seem to have some Gandalf the Wizard type beard or designer stubble. I don’t know where the term “designer” came from – it makes you look messy and like a tramp. That is why I am clean shaven. Well, except sometimes at weekends when I’m feeling lazy, can’t be bothered and don’t mind looking like a hobo.
To keep my face nice and smooth, I have one of those fancy shavers. It has lots of clever functions, including cleaning itself. The cleaning function works by fitting some fluid to a docking station and pressing a few buttons.
Five months after getting the shaver, the cleaning fluid ran out and had to be changed. I was intrigued as to what I would find in the old cleaning fluid case. Given that five months of beard had been removed from my face by the shaver and deposited into the container, I was expecting a lot of hair. Instead I found this…
Where was all the hair? This was my face yesterday, immediately after shaving.
Here is an artist’s impression of what my face would look like, had I not shaved it for five months.
So where has all the hair gone? I’ve put it down to one of life’s mysteries.
I then had to change the cleaning fluid. Apparently it was primarily alcohol. I did think of refilling the old container with Castlemaine lager, but thought that might cause damage. Instead I went for one of the official Braun refill packs. I suspect it’ll do a better job at cleaning my shaver than Castlemaine would – it probably tastes better too. It’ll be nearly Christmas the next time that one will need changing.

- What Have They Done To My Flat?
My former flat, where I lived between 2007 and 2013, looks to be for sale!
I thought that I would let you all know, in case I have a stalker, who wishes to live in my former home and has a spare £180k lying around.

- Thank You, Rubbish Dudes!
I am pleased to announce that we have both an update and a conclusion to the missing/stolen food recycling box.
A clean, brand spanking new box has been left outside our house.

So, I believe that is "thank you" to...
- Have You Tried Turning It Off And Back On Again?
In case anyone has been worried about my broken stairlift and the prospect of me being stranded upstairs forever, fear not, for it has been fixed!
We turned it off an on again.
See... the most effective approach to fixing anything technical, whether it be a computer, stairlift or television.
I'm sure the fix is not even below...
- Be Careful What You Wish For
We had a power cut this afternoon. Apparently many properties near to ours were also affected.
Thankfully the "blackout" lasted for just a few seconds. That brief period was long enough to knock out all my tech, which, once power had returned, spent ages whirring and beeping as it all came back to life.
The power cut...
- Well That Was Long Overdue…
I had my haircut yesterday, for the first time since February.
Let's just say my mop was getting very long and I was getting very annoyed with it.
You also know it's bad when your wife calls you Shaggy. I assume she didn't mean the cool dude behind classic tunes like It Wasn't Me and In the Summertime. She...
