Do you Moisturise?

IAt the risk of also sounding a bit girly, I too moisturise. With a fair thick beard and having to shave almost every (week) day I'd rather deal with any comments than have to deal with sore flakey skin.

Nivea for me too....

.

Baby oil after a shower... ah, YEAH.

(use a separate moisturiser on my face tho... baby oil would be too ...erm... oily... )

What is this world coming to? First its hair gel now blokes are moisturising! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO; You'll be telling next that you don't even fart. Err, you don't wear G-strings do yer? Wot? - the wrong way round?

I don't know, you turn to the security of bikes to retain the fragile thread of macho manhood to find that a bunch of pansies roll in with moisturiser.

One of my son's washes and blow dries his wig everyday and uses straigteners (by pretty Nicky Clark no less) whilst appling copious amounts of gels to his barnet. Oooooo its soooo embarrasing - sometimes he asks for a lift in the car and I'm sure someone is gonna recognise me.

You'll be wearing them false beauty spots next! Now come on get a grip, wear your wrinkly dry skin with pride, grow yer beer gut and enhance your ugliness and bigotness, just as real men and real bikers should be.

Whatever happened to traditional values - you TARTS!

I don't, except after cleaning and washing the bike, when my hands get really dry from the oil and bike shampoo.

Damn right, stuff like that strips the skin of oil pretty easily. I used to get bad sores from using degreaser and being a teen, not wearing any gloves. Chemistry labs are bad for drying out the skin too, not just the solvents (acetone is cooolllddd) but the fume cuboards suck any moisture out of the room. For every hour in the lab I'll use a dab of hand cream to stop them drying out like a prune.

My 18 year old son spends more time in the bathroom than me, 20 minute shower, facial scrub, shave, moisturiser, hair gel, hair spray, teeth cleaning, flossing etc, stinks the whole house out with Lynx..............and thats just when he's going to his car mechanics course at college

I started getting a little worried until I heard him talking to his mate on the phone about the buff birds there

me............2 minute daily shower, hair wash once a week (its too long and thick to wash everyday) quick splurge of Oil of Olay on the Boat Race and Im done....takes me 10 minutes to get ready every morning

what is the world coming to?!

Yaaaargh you scurvy dogs!! I use the spray from the sea when the wind blows a force ten as I cling on to the rigging abaft the beam on the crow's nest atop the main mast!! AAaaarrrrrgh!!

Vaseline intensive care for me, Im in and out of me truck 12 hours a night and it plays havoc with my compexion and I dont even want to talk about my hair.....

Maybe we should try injecting it if it's that good

I moisturise, as otherwise I end up lookling like a leper. But I use manly E45, which doesn't count.
