RANT: The Clone Wars

Double Edge (you uses a double edge razor inside the safety razor handle of your choice)


My pros and the reasons I switched.
1. Better for your skin
2. After the initial purchases the upkeep cost are minimal in comparison to Mach 3s since DE blades are far cheaper
3. It's cool as **** to do
4. It's damn relaxing (didn't figure this one out until I started doing it)

I'm very close to trying this.

1. How would you classify your skin? Does a Mach 3 or Pro Glide tear it up?
2. How much are we talking for the blades? How long does each one last?
3. Alright.
4. Yeah.

Me too. I'm about the have to start shaving much more than I prefer and am accustomed to.

[Lencho]

Pros: You're a *******
Cons: You're a *******

P.S. "DE" stands for "You are a *******".

So it's definitely worth looking into then? Sweet!


Thanks, brother.

I'm very close to trying this.

Only real con is there's a learning curve to doing it. Which I'm still learning, but you get a good blade (Astra blades are my current favorite) and get a proper lather on your face and take your time and you won't have many issues with cuts/nicks. But you have to find the right angle to hold the razor to your face, there is so pivoting razor like with the newer Mach3s and such. You move the handle and angle it around your face and once you master that you lose nothing in speed.



Also another big Pro is the elimination of razor bumps, pimples from shaving, and ingrown hairs.

4. Yeah.

1. I don't have sensitive skin, the only razor that ever caused me issues other than cheap disposable ones was a hydro with 4 blades.
2. Well 100 Astra blades (the ones I like) are 10 bucks on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Superior-Premi.../dp/B001QY8QXM) and most traditional shavers report 4-6 shaves per blade.

Sold.


I'm tired of paying $3-$4/blade.

Me too. I'm about the have to start shaving much more than I prefer and am accustomed to.

I am truly sorry to hear this.

Hang in there, buddy.

That's my biggest gripe. Mach 3 turbo blades are so damn expensive for what they are. And I still cut myself.

[Hishiad]

Sold.

Yeah last time I bought a 5 pack of the Mach 3 cartridges at Wal-Mart it was like 30 bucks, at that point I said fuhk that noise and got me a start up kit for DE shaving. Stand, brush, soap, handle, sample pack of blades for $80 bucks. And the only items that require repurchase anytime soon are the blades and the soap, but I'd be surprised if I use all this soap this year.

[Lencho]

I am truly sorry to hear this.

Hang in there, buddy.

Used to get away with 1-2x/week. Gonna have to bump it up to 4-5.


I hate shaving. SRS

[therorschach]

You are about to go from Mach 3 to Warp 9.99999999999 on a Federation class starship, except not really because you are a *******.

[Final_Rep]

From hornets to pelicans?
That's terrible.

[therorschach]

I hate everyone I know in real life.

[Lencho]

I think it's pretty cool.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you participate in ********?

[therorschach]

Define participate.

[Hishiad]

Edible shower curtains seem a bit pointless, but I'm in.

[Final_Rep]

I think it's pretty cool.

srs?! I can't even imagine the logo...

[Hishiad]

srs?! I can't even imagine the logo...

The Pelican is the state bird in Louisiana thus it was the chosen mascot.

[Lencho]

Define participate.

1. Do you have an account and friends?

2. Are you a *******?

[Lencho]

srs?! I can't even imagine the logo...

vvv It only makes sense. I imagine the logo looks something like a pelican.

The Pelican is the state bird in Louisiana thus it was the chosen mascot.

[Final_Rep]

The Pelican is the state bird in Louisiana thus it was the chosen mascot.

Makes a little more sense then I guess...

[Hishiad]

I suppose naming a team the Hurricanes in New Orleans wasn't as appropriate....(although it was my write in vote)

Because you are a ******* that doesn't log onto steam whenever the rest of the Steam Brigade is on, and I cannot rep you because I haven't negged anyone lately and am still on spread for 90% of the rant, I have decided to post to tell you this:

I had one of those Smokehouse Beef & Cheddar sandwiches the other day.
I was particularly hungry, so I got double meat. To keep with the preestablished ratio, I then got double cheese.
Little did I know they would double sauce me as well. edit# Plus the bbq and mayo combo... not a fan. Chuzzle may have liked it though.

What I consumed was one hell of a mess. It was about a 7.5/8 out of 10 on the tasty scale though.

Just thought you should know.

An angry/fierce looking pelican...sigh.

All I'm saying is, if it was my choice, there's no way I'd go with a big goofy looking bird for a mascot. Obviously it is not my choice, but perhaps it should have been.

[GeneralSerpant]

You wanna see fierce?

[chazzy1864]

Did not know that Boba Fett's Slave1 ship could do that. Also thought that there were simply Star Destroyers and Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer.

Either way, there's no reason to presume that Picard would be on the Star Destroyer, but if he was, the query might be stifled due to tactical advantage, unless the borg cube knew something about the SD.

This query is a topic at the top of the list in the Related Threads list at the bottom. You gave a much interesting insight to the matter, and I thank you.

Also, lol@ Slave one heat shielding.

lol I didn't think to glance at the "suggsted threads" and wondered where your off the wall question came from.

Ultimately the argument between Star Wars tech and Star Trek tech comes down to who can be a bigger nerd.

For me... based on the movies, the Star Destroyers always seemed to suck balls in any engagement.

On the other hand, a Borg cube basically annihilated the entire Federation fleet.

The giant/weird ball on the Star Destroyer was the Comms Array. That was the primary Comms ship of that battle. No clue why destroying that actually caused the ship to implode.

But, also for the movies, they wanted to show the big bad Cruisers of the Empire going down like vaginas.

Wow, I did not know the depths of your nerdome.

Nor mine, since I just read that entire thing.

It has gotten decently bad over the last couple of years. In the last year I've read quite a few Star Wars books (I've found I prefer to stick to The Old Republic era, that is the one Bioware created). Between the KOTOR series and the books, I would google some things and discovered wookiepedia (the star wars wikia) and found you can waste a f*ck-ton of time on there.

I happened to already be on this page last night: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Second_battle_of_Leritor
Since that is what I was reading in my current book. I remembered what the Hammerhead class ships were (they were all over the KOTOR games) but was looking up all of the other ones.

I hate shaving. SRS

That's how I was when I first went on active duty. I could shave Monday morning and I finally had crap coming in on my chin by late Thursday/early Friday. Thankfully we could wear civilians on Friday and so I could get away with the chin stubble. Eventually it got worse.

Now I hate shaving in general. So I leave my chin patch and use an electric razor on the rest. Absolves me of any requirement to do any real shaving.

Messy sandwiches are fun and delicious.
