£15 pair of hair clippers, start at your chin and finish when you've gone completely over your head. Job done in five minutes and you never need to visit a barber again to boot.

False economy Aaron...you have to buy polish to keep that shiny look all over ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Too many caravanners around here. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a tow ball. ;D

Actually, I have a philshave twin head down here at the caravan, for convenience, mainly.  Got a bit crappy, so took it apart, cleaned it thoroughly, and 'bingo' its like brand new. Cuts a treat, and gives a really nice close shave. Bearing in mind, its donkey's years old. (bit like its owner) ;D

Yep. I use No. 0 on the Face, then once a week on the head (what's left of it), on the odd occasion I do have to look half reasonable I wet shave (Bic Orange disposables).

Did remember the old Phili Shaver in my youth, they were terrible, Remington or Braun where better, not much, but better.

Your not supposed to use it on your lady bits!  :P

...although, bring fair, it has to be the gayest name for a men's shaver ever. My step Dad once said I'll get you a Philishave. I didn't like the sound of it and declined. Market leader are they?

Bah, loads of old bollards whatever.

As the official OOF baldie, I can recommend proper, old fashioned double-edge razors. 10-20p a blade, much better shave than modern multi-blade toss, and no ingrowing hairs. Takes a couple of shaves to learn how to do it and keep the blood in the veins, but I'll never go back to a Mach 8... and I get MrsGK to do my head with it.
