Hello Helen.
I do agree with you on enlightening the curious.

Hi Diane.
No 5 o'clock shadow for me as I have had a lot of electrolysis.
I get one close shave and the next day I have a very fine stubble which would be white if allowed to grow.
I need a second...

Amanda is from south London (the poorer area she tells me) so...
After getting home from shopping it was such a nice day that I was able to get the cycle out again.
