Wet Shaving, your experience please.
In my day you had a wilkinson Sword single blade. Gillette has increased this to two, then three then four, now 5 and pivot head. I am interested in your experiences (whether Gillette or other). I got to three blades, then I found the blades clog, weakening a good shave. Dry shave has never been enough for me. What say…

your hospital they will offer three or four consultants from their reduced

private dental care costs
Our dentist has just announced that they are no longer providing NHS treatment, and there are none available locally either. They are pushing the Denplan scheme, but I'm not sure if this is worth around £20 per month for 2 check-ups and the Hygienist, and a small discount on other treatment. I've tried looking at Health…
