Baxter Aftershave is one of the most important cremes I have in my arsenal, aside from the testosterone rub, the alcohol swabs I use before injecting my EPO, and Butt Butter or whatever my chamois creme is called. At $15 a pop, it’s not particularly cheap, but the addition of moisturizers and antiseptic keep irritation at a minimum.
Not only does it have a pleasant smell and refreshing feeling, it opens the pores after a good, close shave to help moisturize and revitalize, leaving your skin clean and smooth with no bumps or rash. Just the other day, a neighbor remarked that my shave was magnificently smooth and close. I couldn’t have done it without Baxter.
Oh, and before you start thinking I’m some kind of sissy, know this: I never use this shit on my face. No sir, the good stuff is for the legs only.

"Ah, fuck, it's awful. ... Stop it! Stop it!" - Johnny Rotten, 1979 ("The Great Rock n Roll Swindle").
By no means a favourite band, person, album, genre or period of mine. And it may well be the only thing Wee Johnny ever said with which I wholeheartedly agreed. But as a quote I find it has application and utility well beyond its original context. Such as now.
Just, like, stop it.

"But Frank if I go back to shaving (and since my peaking schedule has been successful and the guns are looking like Big Bertha...with an awesome tan line I am toying with the idea) thanks for the tip, it sounds like great stuff."
Unleash the Howitzers on those Long Island low weeds! Shave 'em up and Baxter 'em down, put on The Kit and haul ass. Do it man, do it. Then report back to us.
@all Settle down gawd damnit. Bless ya Frank. Can't a man post about his favorite cycling related things and not hear too much moaning about it? Don't make me invoke Chopper Reid or wait for it...Fred Dagg.
John: "Can't a man post about his favorite cycling related things and not hear too much moaning about it?" I'll not begrudge a man any post about cycling related things. Mmmhh. But Baxter aftershave lotion is cycling related in what way??
@david
It's his fookin' guns were talking about here man. His damn neighbors even admire them! Frank takes excellent care of the twin motors whot power the R3 up the road. How else can I explain it?
Sean Kelly quote for the day: "Cherry lager, what a foul idea."
@Marko
I rather liked "Menchov appears to still be upright."
@Canarypunk
That and "Armstrong is on Menchov's wheel, not sure if he wants to do that."
@Marko
Yes: that was very good.
Back on topic: my problem is my guns are so huge that by the time I finish shaving the second one, I need to get started on the first one again (trying"”feebly"”to restore some faint semblance of masculinity to this thread...).
This is where life gets complicated - If I shave then I am going to want to race and if I race I will feel that I have to train and if I train then the wife will leave and then I'll have more time to train - what would you guys do??
@Rob
It's not complicated. Shave your guns. End of. The rest will follow.
