I'm just pictureing the conversation.
"Honey! I ran out of my Gillette, can I use you moisturizing for sensitive skin, cherry pomegranate scented with revitalizing beads shaving gel?"
That conversation would not go well in my house I can be certain of that, woudl get a good laugh of course, but would not be taken seriously!
Discalimer: No, my wife does not have any shaving cream like this, that I'm aware of anyways! I just combined all the things I've heard in the commercials being put in these types of things!

What's my beef with the French? You have to ask this?
Honestly, I just like to tease them. I know many fine French cyclists and filthy young French girls. (I like filthy in a good way)
They do, as a class, tend to be snooty but I suspect we all are that way on our own turf.
Mostly they tend to be a little too laid-back and detached from world issues and immediate problems. Like if you go into a French train station and the train is late. You ask what is up? and get a disinterested and uninspired answer. Nobody cares. Have another glass of wine. Watch the women. Forget the train, dear sir.
This is a good way to avoid a hear attack but at 21 I'm not worried about dieing quite yet. I want to get on the GD train.
The French are traditionally easy targets of the Western World. Just ask the Germans. I like tradition. That's all.

I was just wondering if the French did something to you. When I was ten the entire country sent me a birthday card with only eight dollars in it and at that point I was done. I was like, "Thanks for the $8 dollars France, I'm going to spend it on... Nothing because it's eight dollars."

On a serious note: We all have our prejudices whether we are willing to admit them or not. Mine do not involve ethnicity but the way a person strikes me on first contact. Internet contacts do not count. You cannot see a person's facial expressions, their body language. Some senses of humor do not come across even with the emoticons. But in person, if I get a bad scent from the outset I'm done with that person. Fair or not that's how I am.

To take one's scent? Or to simply smell as do the French. Why do you think perfume originated there?

Smiley, forgive my ignorance, but when you say "cycling team" do you mean people who compete? If so, that's fine. But as for us casual cyclists, I think shaving legs is CREEEEEEPIE  Just my preference
