It's the big one! - an emotional subject bound to divide the male population of the Cellar - will friendships be demolished? Will you gasp at the revelations this subject produces. Is UG a closet dry man? So many questions to be answered.

And all because I have acquired a new electric razor - nice job - top of the range Philishave - gives a nice, clean, dry shave - but what does this revelation do for my standing amongst so many testosterone-enriched, lather-faced Cellar buddies?

Now I've been a dry shaver all my life - this has caused some severe 'tutt-tutts' from many comrades - and even more abrasive comments than that in its time (what is a woosser btw?). But put me near a bladed razor, and, apart from the fact that the lather goes everywhere. I am simply just incapable of completing a wet shave without spilling generous quantities of the red stuff.

So my secret's out of the closet. But who else is brave enough to bare his stubble - and what's with all that lather compulsion anyway? And where do the ladies stand on this sensitive (and I'm not just talking about the skin on my face) subject?
