Well, my wife took it apart and cleaned it before I realized so unfortunately I wasn't able to get any photos, but she said there was a lot of gunk in there that was cleaned out and it seems to hold tight after shaving with it last night. There was a little ring at the bottom holding the interior po...

Butterfly mechanism on Lady Gillette

A few years ago I bought my wife a lady Gillette safety razor that never worked for her because it wouldn't stay tight. The Butterfly mechanism would come loose after a few strokes regardless of how much it was tightened. This rendered the razor mostly useless and somewhat dangerous. It has sat arou...

Thanks for the sentiment. As silly as it sounds, I mostly want it for the looks. If it shaves nice as I hear it does then that's a bonus, but I mostly think it'll look great on display in my cabinet.

WTB Weber DLC. Willing to pay above retail *edit: got one

I know these aren't necessarily easy to find, but if anybody is selling a Weber DLC (with any handle), I'm looking for one, and am willing to pay full retail, or even a small premium for one since I don't know when they will be available again, and I want one now :)

I'm sorry, I completely forgot about this thread. Unfortunately I don't think there's any way to adjust the screen sensitivity. I'm guessing that if something doesn't register as a touch then the device is maybe hanging. You do have to push a little harder on the Windows mobile devices than some of ...

I have a Touch Pro 2. Windows Mobile phones can be some of the most powerful and customizable phones out there, but they kind of sacrifice usability for power. If you're a phone geek and like customizing things, then it's a lot of fun. If you just want a phone that works, you're probably frustrated ...

If you do go the linux route, I would go with Linux Mint. As a total newbie to Linux this year I found Mint much easier to use out of the box than Ubuntu (Mint is derived from Ubuntu, but has some codecs and extra software thrown in to make it work out of the box better, not to mention it looks nice...

if you're willing to put up with the quirks of windows mobile devices (which it sounds like you are), you can do just about anything with them.
