Do you not think he is taking the p155? I re-read some of his stuff recently and I honestly think that is what he is doing. He seems to have a cult following who lap it all up. Mr Roberts seems to be knowledgeable about and interested in shaving, but I think he inwardly knows shaving is not the key to the universe, and is seeing how far he can go before anyone says, 'hang on Chuck, are you still being serious?'.
Either that or he really is bonkers................
