    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I'm getting to that age where my testicles can make contact with the bottom of a pint glass...

    Perhaps I just need a bucket for my ablutions nowadays...

    A real man just needs a bar of soap, maybe a back brush and thats it Proper army discipline when you strip down and clean your razor on a daily basis

    Seriously though I always thought I was getting through Shower gel and hand wash too fast so I tried the Pears transparent soap bars again...70p each or something.

    To be fair soap is also pretty awkward in the shower and it doesnt last all that long if youre having a good scrub. You have to keep plonking it in the soap dish on the rail. In a multi family environment its a non starter really as you dont want a soap bar used by others.

    So its just a case of finding a good value gel with enough to last. I just get the cheapest.

    Shower gel dispensers like washing up liquid ones are designed to dispense at least 5 times as much as you need every time you squeeze them. Then if you have kids around, who just love to see it squirting out and drop most of it in the water, you are really in trouble!

    Ive never had a problem with cheap gel. A long time ago I used to get itchy calves with whatever soap I was using.

    Cheap gel doesnt have to be bad gel. I would say that a lot of the more fancy gels are just marketing

    I had the same thing, it's just dry skin. The soap removes natural skin oils and adds to the dryness and shower gel is not the answer either. My doctor told me it's not uncommon, the skin getting dryer as you get older. He recommended baby oil or baby lotion on the shins and calves after bathing. It worked!
