I need a shave.
Updates will follow.
Shaving complete. Todays included a complete beard trim (with scissors) and a 'double' shave using boiled water from the kettle and traditional safety razor. This is where I do a rough shave first to reduce the length of the unnecessary fuzz and then repeat more carefully to make a close shave.
This is the result of laziness for several days, mea culpa.
I know a three bladed razor or one of those newfangled electrical abominations would probably remove most excess foliage in one pass, but I have found from long experience (which I could probably explain in great detail, you have been warned) that the end result from a safety razor and two passes is far superior.
So there.
PS: I am aware that several members must be suffering dreadfully as I still haven't revealed the exciting details of the Great Tram Windowsill Observations. Unfortunately I have to do coursework today, which is even more mundane than this thread, so it will have to wait...
