Dear all,

You are quick, and generous. You are kind but brutal. I thought that calls for me to have my legs waxed were harsh, but you’ve quickly rallied together and raised the extra $500 I suggested would be enough for this to happen. And now it must. I have to say that I am dreading this.

Now there are calls for a "BSC". I’m sorry to have to disappoint but despite my hirsuteness, for reasons unbeknownst to me, I don’t have a hairy back. And since neither the ‘sack’ nor the ‘crack’ will be photographed in the name of good taste, this would be a pointless (yet painful, I imagine) exercise.

Since you have reached the $1,000 target I feel duty bound to offer more so that you might do the same. This time I am doubling the target to in return for my shaven arms and chest.

I feel I should mention that this is not an event that I am undertaking lightly. I really, really don’t like shaving my face in the morning. To shave more than that is a huge ask, so please drop by my profile page, give generously and help me help the Leukaemia Foundation in World’s Greatest Shave.

As ever, I’m deeply thankful for your support, be it financial or emotional!

Much love;

P.S: If there are any Olympic cyclists, swimmers or cross-dressers out there, I have a burning question: Do you use the same shaving products for your face as your body hair or do you use a products aimed at women?
