frank ryan Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 my daughter (rather cruelly I thought) just called me a 'preener'!! in the morning I wash face with soap and then shave - use a cleanser to remove shaving goo, shower, moisturize (with E45 - nowt dear - it's all the same greasy stuff), hair mousse and a spritz of cologne (favourite is davidoff cool water). Is this unusual? am I a 'preener'? - offspring reckons men of my age (early 50s) just shave shower and offski. Is she right? My masculinity is at stake here!!!!

Maz3 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Nay lad, ignore the cheeky young whippersnapper. The procedure you describe is bog standard for the most red blooded of males these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister M Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Hair Mousse! Lol not heard that since the 1980s Nah it doesn't sound like you're a preener Frank. Though I think it does depend on how long your ablutions take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmer Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Fairly standard stuff, it's when you start to pluck and use make up that one becomes a preener in my opinion. However, hair mousse?? Get with the program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 I cut my toenails last week if that counts as 'preening'? ... I think that they were toenails anyway, it's where most people have them ... if not, they were my distal phalanges poking through. My only defence being that it saves on sock wear and makes it easier to walk upright (or indeed bipedally, as opposed to quadrupedalistically).

Luxury full head joker - mallen streak and white sideburns but no scalp showing (yet) - I reckon the mousse has stuck it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much a preener but moisturiser? men don't do that surely? admit Cool Water is nice & have had a blast of mousse once or twice, if going out but daily no way Pedro.
