Moustache/Children in Need
 

As is the tradition on this occasion, our lovely Lebonese gentleman at work has volunteered to have his top hair growth shaven off. Poor guy, works with 11 women, and, I, as 'senior' , member has been volunteered to do the dirty deed. Never bin near a man's face with a razor before you understand and am finding the task daunting. Do you lift the nose up ? Do you cut it down first ? Little help here ... I'm wondering if waxing will work ??

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Keep the wax away he will run a mile. Wouldnt be me loosing mine thats for sure.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

I'd attack it first with small scissors, then dampen it with a hot flannel. Apply shaving soap, and allow a few minutes for the bristles to soften. Always use downward strokes, going with the direction of the hair. Finish off with a cream balm, never an alcohol aftershave.

Don't forget to ask if he'd like anything for the weekend.;)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Hey, cool .. will follow this advice .. they will think am a real pro. eh ?
Can I not tempt you then Spuggie .. one of my pet hates.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Not if you dont plan on being in Grangemouth or Linlithgow prior to the end of January. I very much attached to my mouser.
:)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

If he's an older gentleman Katex, you may have to ask him to pull faces in order to get to the bits you're after....:D

Grief!!!! It's years since I shaved a fella...;)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Was that back in the days of cut throat razors?
;)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Well, actually could do with seeing some of the customers up that way around about this time ..:) It is for charity you know, for a good cause, and you would look younger, and would grow back if you insist on having that crumb catcher on your top lip again.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

We are all different Katex, ask him how he would like you to do it and follow his instruction.....:)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

He lives in Scotland don't forget.

His mustache stops the frozen drips from his nose dropping in his tea.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

It has other uses as well be we will leave that there thanks. Kate you will have to be fast to catch me. Mind you this lot here would shrink wrap me to a chair to aid the task. :)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Lettie : what DO you mean with the wink I wonder ?? answer in private message only please.

Funny re the older gentleman :D Bit like the one I read .. was it somebody on here re. tattoos ?? the're OK ,but as you got older had to stretch the skin to see the picture ... that was really funny too. No .. not sure ... was his birthday yesterday and he refused to tell us how old he was!! Why not, can't alter it, can you ?? We guessed at 52 .. not sure whether we have flattered/insulted him or what. Went to wages, personnel, MD's secretary who holds the CV ... but Data protection LOL

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

I am not fond of moustaches either.....despite the fact that hubby has one.
I have tried many times to get him to shave it off......I tell him it looks like a sod round a rat-hole......and I have asked him why he cultivates on his face what grows wild round his bum......but to no avail. He was clean shaven when I met him. He tells me that shaving of his 'mo' won't reveal a younger face underneath.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Hey, you definitely got a way with words Margaret ... 'as said in a previous thread' .. shows now you can turn your verbal to suit the subject. Hey, think this may be my century post !! Can start expressing my appreciation now.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Am I safe for the moment or have I to watch my back? :)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

People at college are trying to wax my belly... :(

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

No .. just yer top lip tee hee.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Hehehe, I don't need a private message for this one. I did some work at the ESMI unit prior to my nurse training. I used to sometimes shave the men (faces of course) I was 18 at the time. When I was training the hospital had a barber who shave the men prior to operation. Occasionally at weekend, or if the barber was sick, when emergency surgery was required.............. We had to shave the bits.

Thankfully it was only occasional.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

No little accidents then lettie? :)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

No Bobbit trims as far as I'm concerned.....:D

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Bobbits and razors not a nice mix. ;)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Aaaah bless Cyfr .. don't like the sound of that one. Do a 5 mile run or summat in chains .. think less painful.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Run I would be long gone faster than Linford if that was me. Brave of cryf very brave. :)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Well, following Garinda's instructions, I did a wonderful job of removing this growth, he was shaking like a leaf but he was brave and refused a general anaesthetic. Not a drop of blood was spilt and no need of the blood transfusion services.
He looked much younger and would love to see the wife's reaction this evening ... he hadn't told her:rolleyes: She will think a new man has walked through the door and feel sure he will need something for the weeked ;)
Also had a marathon exercise biking session, and four of our colleagues did an excellent 5 mile run around Intack and over Stanhill, wearing Stanley shirts, of course. Up the dinner timer, we had around £ 200 .. :D

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Well done Kate.:)

I think the guy's wife should make a small donation to Children in Need as well, because she won't be experiencing the usual tickling when he gives her one.

[A kiss.]

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Big hand for kate on her efforts.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

There you go.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

So how about it Spuggie ?? Think I got a taste for it now ! ha ha.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Maybe when I am down in January and use it as an excuse to raise money for another good cause at that months meet. :)

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Whoops ! You just committed yerself in front of witnesses Spugs... no goin' back now !! Won't let you forget this one... sponsors please post now.:D

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

My husband grew a beard after he left the RAF. He only ever shaved it off once in 30 years. The youngest child cried and the older 2 refused to speak to him until it grew again. I used to trim it for him - but always insisted he shampooed it first. :D

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Well dropped myself in the warm brown smelly stuff again. :(

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

You said it Spuggie !! .. I pledge a tenner to any charity you wish to nominate .. s'long as I get the pleasure :D
Westender : Still their dad underneath though. x to them.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Why not let the members choose the charity?

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

Good idea, but summat to do with Accy hey ? Maundy Relief or similar ? No, not retirement home for ex-Stanley players please.

Re: Moustache/Children in Need
 

I am ok with that.
