Yeah, I'm alright, ta.
Getting dry skin, though. Question, if it's for medicinal purposes, can I moisturise and remain manly or do I just have to put up with flaky, itchy skin? I am unsure of the etiquette, here.

I moisturise daily
I suspect this answers your question

For what purpose?
Do you actually have to, and I do mean "have to", or do you just do it because you want to be pretty?
( Kroney, Tue 26 Feb 2013, 12:10, Reply)

I do get pretty bad dry skin which is unsightly but not medically threatening
So yeah, pretty.

Well if you do it because you want to be pretty
then you haven't answered my question at all.

If it's for medical reasons, you STILL haven't answered my question. I need more than a girly giggle and a foppish wave here, Darth.

I was illustrating that if you took up moisturising you would have something in common with me
thereby providing a definitive answer on all manliness-related issues

It depends.
If by 'moisturise' you mean you will rub the flesh of an animal you have slain with your bare hands against your skin, then you might just remain manly.
If you spend £30+ on a tiny tube of liquid, with some made-up sciencey words on the packaging, then you will need to punch a lot of horses to be considered a man again.

This is advice I can use.

I was about to refute this assertion
Then I remembered that I have, in the past, used a moisturising hand cream to prevent the skin on the backs of my hands from ripping itself to shreds.
They market it as being used by tough Norwegian fishermen, but it still feels gay.

Well gay

( Kroney, Tue 26 Feb 2013, 12:20, Reply)

I moisturise after shaving
And if my skin feels dried out and tight.

I am 100% straight, as you well know.

Shaving = gay.

at least it's not as bad as Darth, he has to moisturise to look pretty.
I look pretty anyway.

You're not as pretty as me

yes, by Bella.
Nice sample size. She fucked AA, remember.

weeing yourself counts as moisturising right?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

If you don't do something about dry skin
you'll eventually have to walk round with a bell and a sign.

These days they don't sell moisturisers for men. They sell SKIN RECHARGERS. Much more manly.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 26 Feb 2013, 12:17, Reply)

That makes me laugh.
As if men are going to be fooled into thinking that recharging your skin is somehow not moisturising it just like all those nancies they habitually beat up in car parks.

But Gerard Butler says he uses it
and he's manly as fuck!
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 26 Feb 2013, 12:20, Reply)

He gets paid to say he uses it
in an attempt to lend the product legitimacy. Really, he uses the blood of freshly clubbed seal pups.

Anyone that sells a product called 'Sensitive Moisturiser'
is not marketing that product for MEN.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Tue 26 Feb 2013, 12:21, Reply)

Same as shaving foam/gel for sensitive skin

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Tue 26 Feb 2013, 12:24, Reply)

I have moisturised almost daily since the 1980s.
Whilst you make think that is well bent,

a) it isn't
b) it stops my face from hurting in winter
c) I am 39: at about 11pm on Saturday a spaz-wagon full of 'chicks' aged about 20 pulled up at the hotel outside which I was standing. They got out and were most complimentary - one of them said 'my God, he's gorgeous' and then said to me 'don't speak - you might spoil it'. I think she was worried I might have a Jeff accent. NB they weren't pissed up hags either.

So nerr.

EDIT: obv no amount of moituriser will make you as handsome as me, don't get too excited.
