I did mine again yesterday after letting it grow during Computex. Getting good at doing it solo (steady on) although it took a good 40 mins since I didn't pre-clip and it was a good 5mm or so long. Doh.
Only started completely razoring it recently and it really does need doing every day or two, which is the crappy part.
Possibly. I do rip the hair out with my bare hands.
Shame you guys don't get Irn Bru over there, there's an awesome advert for it here with a guy in a bird suit......err, I guess you'd have to see it to get it, but he sounds like I look. Cuckoo.
