New shaving gear
17
Jan
I’d been thinking about putting a bit more effort into my shaving as it always seemed such a nuisance. My reasoning was if I enjoyed it more I’d be more inclined to do it more often. At this point I was shaving about twice a week using the Gillette Sensor disposables, mainly for my own comfort or my girlfriend’s.

I had an email advertising these in the UK at about £70.

UPDATE 24 AUGUST 2010: JUST SEEN THESE AVAILABLE FOR £12.99 DELIVERED IN THE UK AT 7DAYSHOP (ALSO AVAILABLE WITH 4 GIG AND 8 GIG CARD)
I hadn’t expected it to Read the rest of this entry »
Quality sunglasses on a budget?
12
Oct
OK, so I’ve recently sorted out contact lenses again and therefore don’t have the benefit of photochromic glasses stopping the sun attacking my eyes when I wear them. Sunglasses next on the shopping list, I looked round town and discovered that the range available seemed expensive or just crappy looking. Not a good start, but rather than waste my money on something I wasn’t sure about, I thought I’d leave it. Read the rest of this entry »
