Why does it matter what your deodorant smells like anyways? It's not like the scent is glowing about you like a cologne would.

Looks great, though I was wondering if I could see an even larger version of the picture?

We don't need to buy anything Gilette makes either, so why should we 'get all over' them?

You know it's weird, I thought I have insanely sensitive skin too, I used to only be able to do ATG once a week or so and my face hurt every day. Turns out it's because those regular shavers pull the hair out and it just hurt my face like hell.

It's interesting, you see the Mongolian empire and think man they had a lot! If you had to live under Mongolian rule, ignoring politics, you were probably either in a very dense area or in Siberia. If you were under the Byzantine empire, you either lived 20 minutes(by car, probably a day by horse or...

Alum block or styptic pencil?

I've been using my Feather AC for a while now with regular blades and can go WTG without drawing blood but usually when I go ATG I see blood in a few places. They aren't cuts per se, like when I rince the blood away you don't see anything visible, there's just blood there, usually in about 2 hours e...

Since it's your first I'd recommend a folding, I bought the $100 RG one for myself.

You'll be able to watch videos and get a better sense of how to handle one.

I have an RG and thoroughly enjoy it, a few weepers here but the experience is lovely.

It's my only non-cart razor.

On/off with super hot water, ambient noise drives me nuts.

The water cools off a fair amount so it's quite nice.
