Old Man Shaving: Traditional Shaving
Talking on a mobile phone while you are driving can be considered dangerous, well how about shaving while you are driving! Recently motorists in Mexico have been sternly warned by police not to shave while driving.
Obviously you couldn't have a wet shave while driving but it seems that shaving using an electric razor while driving is a popular activity for motorists in Monterrey, Mexico. I guess that the rear view mirror could be handy for shaving while you drive.
Other popular activities that Police have been issuing tickets for recently include:
No matter how careful you are you will at some point manage to cut yourself shaving. I normally find that I cut myself shaving when I have an important meeting or at another inopportune moment. Not that there is any time when cutting yourself shaving is exactly convenient.
I was chatting to my friend Baker the other day while I was working on the laptop as you do. He had a look at the site and then reminded me of a TV programme that I watched ages ago Around the World in 80 Days.

During the journey Michael Palin was only allowed to use transportation that would have been available to Fogg during his trip.

A student from a lexington middle school David Kirkland has taken it upon himself to make the Christmas holiday season a good one for US troops. He is doing this by running a community service project called Christmas Treats for Troops.
This involves sending US troops razors, shaving cream and other small necessities that are not common overseas. Not quite like Gillette and the deal with the US Forces during WW1 that supplied safety razors to the troops.
