Don't you hear that tiny voice of your conscience telling you to buy one? Who needs food anyways?
Edit: It's been urging me to do some bad things as well. I'm trying to resist the compulsion to buy a Norton to add to my Japs lol
Food? I'm paying for my daughter's wedding!Quote:

Just some sports gear and a car when he turns 16.. University tuition/books are going to be bad enough for me lol.
[HTML]Hey, I just got an email concerning cutting costs on a Detroit Wedding...Here's the Gourmet Dining Establishments pic... "Buy em' by the Sack"Quote:

Here's a thought: I had a few ingrown hairs in my time, not chronic or anything, but a couple of times each year. In the last 8 months of straight shaving I haven't had any! I attribute this to the depilatory effect of sweeping the top dying layer of skin away with the whiskers. It's this dead skin which clogs up the opores that the hairs get caught behind and start to curl under. I wouldn't be surprised if you never experience another ingrown hair even if you dio go against the grain with the straight.Quote:

A little more work on the ho0ne and it did. Recently I've been experimenting with the hones and I can certainly feel the difference when a razor isn't quite sharp enough because it pulls a little. I can also feel the overpolished wire edge (which some of my razors seem to be suffering from at the moment) as razor burn and see it as well as blood on my face. I could also tell when my shavers were losing their keeness after months of shaving. They felt smoothed without being wiry and didn't cut as close. I think you're right to some extent, but a little experience can go a long way. Too far sometimes considering that I've been knowingly shaving with wired edge razors. I think the foray into experimenting on the hones has been very valuable in this regard if a little uncomfortable. :cry: Should help me in the long run.Quote:
