GymsGetting fit should come with a health warning, warns PJM. "In my pursuit of the body beautiful, I've broken three exercise bikes and two running machines, concussed myself and, most distressingly, bruised my testicles." And he's yet to try and get out of his contract...

Scrape, scrape.I'd much rather be road-running, but a buggered knee means that, for the last few years, I've been confined to the low-impact world of the gym.
It's not unusual for me, after a session on the cross-trainer, to nip into the sauna for a bit, and there were a few regular faces at my last gym: the balding teacher, the girl with the slightly translucent white bikini... and The Shaver.
The Shaver used to freak us all out. Foregoing the luxuries of the running water, shaving gel, and mirror that he could have had in the changing-room, he would turn up, sit in the sauna, produce a Gilette, and start shaving...

... and then he'd wipe his razor across his towel, and leave.
That was it. No friendly chat. No relaxing in the pool. Just conspicuous, and (presumably) unsatisfactory and painful public shaving.
Conspicuous, unsatisfactory, painful, and REALLY CREEPY shaving.

For some reason...... I read that as "painful pubic shaving".
That is all.

Hmm.I'm thinking that it'd actually be a pretty good shave in a sauna.
I mean, you have all those products that claim to hydrate and open your pores and all that stuff, for the ultimate shave or whatever.
He was just using a sauna because it was cheaper than wasting money on pretentious products.
Practical, maybe.

Nope.No water, no mirror... I think he was just a bit special.

I ain't him.... butI can testify that you get a really good shave in the sauna.
I guess it must be to do with natural oils and softened bristles.
A lot of spas have banned the practice... Health and Safety?
