Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[GO-NAD!]

I got an Edwin Jagger 89lbl safety razor for Christmas. I've used it 3-4 times now. Still trying to get the hang of it. I didn't want to pay a King's ransom for blades anymore. One thing I like about it, is that the razor head - because of the mass of the metal - really gets warm when you run hot water over it. Feels good on the face. I'm happy so far.

I use Gillette Sensor and the Mach 3. Dry your blades after use! Blades are typically good for 6-8 weeks!

Mine rarely last that long before they get dull.

Do you dry them? Or do you grow such manly fur that decimates anything but a straight razor?

I thought cold blades and cold water was better for your skin.

I always wanted to use a straight razor until my father told me that modern disposables work better than anything.

I haven't tried drying them honestly, but they really stop working well for me after a handful of uses.

Yeah, you have to dry them! Every time!

Water against steel = corrosion. There's a reason you never see this suggestion on the packaging!

I dunno - I just like it. I don't have a desire to get into straight razors. I like that safety razor blades are so cheap compared to multi-blade cartridges. And, after a little bit of practice, I'm getting just as close a shave.

First Scott Weiland, then Lemmy Kilmister and now David Bowie...The world is getting less interesting.

73 movies ripped occupying a little under 3 TB. I keep experimenting with different settings trying to find the best balance between speed and file size.

I'll try it tomorrow. Have to say, I'm pretty impressed with the packaging and feel of the razor. I opted for the olive green handle.

8 blades for $15.00 shipped (any purchase over $10.00 includes shipping) so that's $1.88 per blade, 16 blades for $20.00 is $1.67 per blade and 16 blades for $25.00 is $1.56 per blade.

over $1B for the Powerball?!? Holy ish, that's a lot of money. I bought my first ticket in years

So, Adam... if you win will you still talk to us?

I play every week regardless of the size of the winnings. Just something a little group of us do at work and it only costs a buck for us each time. A buck to win a part of 1.5b? Sure

Love these razors. Smaller and tighter than the Dorco. I feel I got a better shave. Do not like the shave gel. Too perfumed. I can still smell and taste it after 30 minutes.
Not going to lie, I often have buyers remorse, but not this time. Best $3.00 I have spent in a long time.

Just heard by the time they draw, it will be 2 billion. I can only do the math up to 5 million then I lose consciousness.

Sure. Easy for me to say now that I didn't win , but I would have. I didn't end up buying a ticket. I started thinking on the way home that the total sum of lottery drawings that I hadn't bought a ticket for was well over $1.5B...so why start now? That, and I just wanted to get home.

Smaller and tighter....

That's what she said.




Wait a minute...

Watched the first 3 episodes of Broadchurch tonight. Chilling. I'm hooked. So is Bonnie. Yes, we needed subtitles for the Scottish accent, but that's why it's there.

That 11 year old boy must have gotten into some serious stuff that ended up being way over his head. And his parents were clueless. I am so glad my kids got past that dangerous age.
