I know this question is probably best asked elsewhere, but what is the advantage to rooting or jail breaking your android device? I have an Acer Iconia 500 Tablet I got a great deal on at the shop I work for and was wondering what else I could do with it if I "rooted it".

I've missed out on two of them on the bay at the last second. I'll keep looking

Thanks me too. Now I just need some recommendations on blades. I've always use the GEM SE Razors from Walgreens and frankly have never looked at any other brands. How are the Feather SE's?

Well, I hope you do too Dave. I just got done reading about the R41 on B&B and what they say about the R41 is exactly why I like the OCMM. Yes, I know one is DE and the other SE. It's an effortless BBS that lasts a very long time and I never get a nick or weeper or any discomfort. I can't say t...

I do think you'll enjoy it. It seems to enjoy sharp blades and seems to do better with them (at least IMO). Take it slow and watch your angles and you should do fine with it. I was noticing that with my FatBoy it would take 4 full passes and touchup but with the R41, I can get a great shave with 2 p...

I've had quite a few dud Derbys as well. They are my second favorite blade after Feathers. OK, I'll bite. Which shivs round out your top five? Derby and Feather aren't usually mentioned in the same sentence in most forums. I'm curious! :) I don't know why but Derbys work for me. I've tried quite a ...

I love to shave with my MM occasionally and would love to try an Open Comb Version of it. I'll have to check the bay for one.

I bought a 37C to compare with my R41 and sold it a few weeks later. I just bought a 39C to try the Sledgehammer.

Man, I’m so close to pulling the trigger on a Feather Stainless razor it isn’t funny. It’s not the money that’s holding me back, heck my Dunhill wallet cost more than that razor. I’m just tired of falling for the hype of a new product only to find out after making the purchase that the hype was jus...
