I recently moved house, still in the throbbing metropolis of Bedford – why would anyone want to live anywhere else? – and decided some things are going to change in my life. Some I can reveal publicly, some I can’t. In the former category, my beard. I was clean-shaven until shortly after I launched J4MB in 2013, and will shortly be clean-shaven again.

So I faced the question of which shaving brand to go for. Gillette – a company for whom I worked in the 1980s – is clearly out of the question, following their men-hating adverts. I toyed with the idea of going for an old-fashioned razor with disposable razor blades, as my late father used – Amazon’s own-brand razor is here. But memories of him walking around with small pieces of blood-soaked toilet paper attached to his face deterred me. I could go very retro and use a cut-throat razor, but fears of major blood loss ruled that out.

In the end, it had to be Harry’s. They have a great trial offer on (£3.95) and I should get delivery in 2-3 days. The next time you see me, I’ll look 10 years younger. Possibly.
