I've realised I need to shave tonight. This is a pain in the backside because everyone is going out and when I shave, my face goes all soft and rosey and bare, and if I have a hint of a spot, it shows up everywhere like Rudolph's nose.

Is there any way to stop this happening? My spots have kindly removed themselves from my face to my neck recently, but I fear they'll come back to haunt me tonight as they tend to do it when I least want them to.

Hints and tips?
