*time to leave boards forever*

Jesus lads you're some bunch of metrosexuals!! I can honestly say I've never used any "male beauty" products and I don't look a day over 90...

Once out of the shower and toweled dry I put the Ralph Lauren boxers back on and before applying the Mousse A Raiser, a shaving cream by Pour Hommes, I press a hot towel against my face for two minutes to soften abrasive beard hair. Then I always slather on a moisturizer (to my taste, Clinique) and let it soak in for a minute. You can rinse it off or keep it on and apply a shaving cream over it - preferably with a brush, which softens the beard as it lifts the whiskers - which I've found makes removing the hair easier. It also helps prevent water from evaporating and reduces friction between your skin and the blade. Always wet the razor with warm water before shaving and shave in the direction the beard grows, pressing gently on the skin. Leave the sideburns and chin for last, since these whiskers are tougher and need more time to soften. Rinse the razor and shake off any excess water before starting. Afterwards splash cool water on the face to remove any trace of lather. You should use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol. Never use cologne on your face, since the high alcohol content dries your face out and makes you look older.

One should use an alcohol-free antibacterial toner with a water-moistened cotton ball to normalize the skin. Applying a moisturizer is the final step. Splash on water before applying an emollient lotion to soften the skin and seal in the moisture. Next apply Gel Appaisant, also made by Pour Hommes, which is an excellent, soothing skin lotion. If the face seems dry and flaky - which makes it look dull and older - use a clarifying lotion that removes flakes and uncovers fine skin (it can also make your tan look darker). Then apply an anti-aging eye balm (Baume Des Yeux) followed by a final moisturizing “protective” lotion

Pfft. My skincare regime takes up more of my time than those two.

Wet shaving, ugh. I had to do that when I was in the states before christmas (first time in years) cause I forgot my shaver and I forgot how awful it feels after. Can't be bothered with it, too much hard work.

I heard awec rubs salt on his chin and when the hairs come out for a drink he ties a knot in them so they can't go back in!!

Do you still get the cat to lick the hairs from your chin!!

I was in a remote part of Sri Lanka for a few months with only a straight cutthroat razor. I therefore grew the biggest goatee i could manage to avoid wet shaving anything that wasnt cheek.

The Panama Papers...potentially bigger than Snowden and Wikileaks. Will be interesting to see what emerges from it. A number of world leaders looking on very dodgy ground with Putin the highest profile although he'll probably face no sanction.

2.6TB of documents...a scary amount of evidence.

As far as I understand it it's just proof of rich people dodging taxes, right? Or is it worse than that?

If it's the former, I can't imagine it will hold the public interest too long. I reckon everyone just assumes that businessman, athletes, politicians etc. are dodging taxes anyway.

A video from the ICIJ on this. Not very pleasant, warning in advance.

I've removed the embedding because its pretty distressing.

Rumous say there's a lot more in there, like further evidence of previous scandals and also some information going back to more disturbing things like sex trafficking and worse.

Ah okay. The tax stuff would be quickly swept under the carpet but scandals and that type of a thing have more staying power.


Putin is made of Teflon though. He could kill a child on live TV and he'd still be fine.

400 journalists from over 100 media organisations have been researching it for 12 months. And not a peep.

Quality work.

Iceland is not going to be a pleasant place tomorrow.

That's my favourite part. The news agency that was approached knew this story was too big for them and brought in investigative journalists from around the globe to assist. It's a collective effort.

Credit to John Doe for leaking it although I suspect he's in hiding now if not dead already!
