Ps. Oh, and electric razors are rubbish compared to wet shaving. Just compare people's chins afterwards. No competition. On the other hand I've never used anything other than an electric razor. Mainly because I am a complete girl with blood (well actually women are perfectly fine with blood, obviously, but you get the idea...). And people saying "It's very rare to get a cut with razors these days", or "It's almost impossible to bleed with razors now", are obviously missing the words "very rare" and "almost" that basically means I would bleed at some point. Then bounce my head off the toilet or somesuch as I faint. I am honestly a complete nonse when it comes to blood.... Oh, and I put up with the comparitively bad shave....

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

I cut myself all the time, but I generally try and push out the life of razor blades to something rediculous like 3 or 4 weeks. Also, I use Mac3, which, by my calculations, means I have 3 times as much chance of facial dismemberment than with an old school single bladed razor.

Yah I cut myself with razors all the time--- perhaps I'm doing it wrong.

A few years after I started shaving, I had a Mach-3 razor and, like an idiot, I pushed it sideways across the mustache line! That's three separate slices. Mind you I never made that mistake again.

haha. Yeah, I've done that, although not on my face luckily. I tried to wipe some hairs off the blades with my finger ... sideways. You only ever do that once.

When I first got an electric shaver (about 13 years old) my Dad showed how it was completely safe by using on his hand. On my own I then experimented a bit and eventually tried it on my tongue (as you do). Try it yourself to find out more....

I just keep buying those bags of 20 cheap razors from the store. They don't really cut much hair, but they do a fine job of pulling it out. I did have a mach3 that Gillette sent me in the mail for my 18th birthday. At the time, I didn't really need 3 blades wiping my face and I've lost it since then.

Yeah, I gots me Mac3 for free too. Infact, I think I got a couple. Fact is, the blades cost twice as much as the razor anyway. Now that 5 blade razor is out ... I mean, you must literally have to mortgage your house to afford the blades for those.

Right, off to electric shave my tongue to try out dazzag's request. I have a tourniquet and anti-septic lotion on standby.

K firstly, she isn’t blond and I don’t go for highschoolers either, hence why i clearly said "in two years*" and "(god how I want the adult version of her )" so try reading my posts.

Secondly, what do you mean Olsen Twin countdown starting. If you’re referring to her desire to leave the HP Movie series, that’s for two reasons, firstly her parents, not her, are trying to gut the movie producers for extra money and secondly, she is wondering if she wants a movie career or not hence why she may leave the movie series as she is currently in education. Also what do you (or I for that matter) know about her personal situation except what tabloids report about her which is never reliable.

Lastly, i know very little about what she is personally like except that she likes Sports and Computer Games (so she has some sense anyway) so my stated attraction is physical (and half mental at that because I’m imagining her 2 years older than she is now which is a lot in a humans growth years).

Doh!

Easy matey. Phaelax wasn't attacking you. I think you're just a bit paranoid cos you expressed a sexual attaction for jail bate. Just remember, the greyhound waits for the hare.

Btw, this thread hasn't served its purpose yet. We need more ideas people. So far xmas is still looking like a pair of socks and a bar of chocolate.

I wonder why it is that people test knives on their fingers.

If you saw a small child stroking their finger a long a knife blade you'd tell them it was a stupid thing to do but give a knife to anyone who should know better (me included) and I'd bet anything one of the first things they'd do is run their finger along the blade.

It would appear I've been bitten by the coding bug yet again...

I used to be a butcher once. Wayhey. Probably explains a lot. Anyway, it's common practice to test knife sharpness on your hands, as you cant go around hacking up the produce. But you don't run it along your hand, you just push the blade into your palm, or squeeze it with your fingers. Then you can feel the sharpness without actually cutting yourself.

There ya go, some trivia for ya.

K, not quite sure about your language there but firstly, I’m used to forum posters and know that the majority are looking for a good reason to discredit you so i tend to blow back with raw fact to shut them up, particularly when they miss specific parts of my posts and make fun of the bit they do quote.

Secondly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder plus, I say again, wait two years cus firstly, that’s a long time in human growth years so if she isn’t hot now, she will be and secondly we or more specifically I will see in two years as I don’t date 16 year olds and probably wont be suffering you in two years.

Also, on topic now, i use the mach3 range of products with vibration which always gives me a nice clean shave with no irritation. That’s a wet shave btw.

I’m surprised no ones just looking forward to a bit of a vacation, I am and I would think adults who don’t need anything they cant just buy, would do too.

Doh!

I use the Mach III, have been using the same blade for a couple months now, wet shaving without any creams or soaps, and always have a smooth shave with no rawness or cuts :S Maybe you guys are doing it wrong, lol.

It's creepy to be daydreaming about a 16-year old, even if it's for her "2 years from now" body. That's just wrong

And I've always thought it silly to get worked up over a celebrity. I dunno--- kinda pathetic right?

Yea I was only joking Siolis. As for the countdown thing, I was referring to the many websites that had counters which counted down the days until the Olsen twins became 18. They were all over the place, I wouldn't be suprised if there was a Mac widget for it too.

The full joke starts with "What's the difference between a paedophile and a greyhound?" but I didn't want to stray from light-hearted joking to offensive.

Anyways, I've managed to hack together my xmas list so far:

- DVD Player - I'll probably just buy this myself and ask for someone elses credit card while I order it.
- DVD: X-MEN3 (X3) The Last Stand (Just fancied seeing it)
- DVD: The Hills Have Eyes (2006) (Not seen it, but heard its a properly scarey horror)
- Hobby Knife / Stanley Knife (For RC, electronic etc stuff)

I did have soldering iron on there, but I caved in and bought a new one for myself last night. Still a lame list.

Eh, don't worry Fallout. It's hard when you can buy yourself everything you want, and everything you want is either too expensive or something no one else will get right if you ask them for it. Just ask for money. It solves everything. Might not be as fun to open, as something you've really been wanting, but hey... who can argue with money?

I've put on my Christmas list:

Leather-scented perfume (http://www.demeterfragrance.com/product.aspx?t=f&id=895) but I wouldn't say no to dirt-scent, paperback-scent, rain-scent or fireplace-scent either.

Oh, and a paper making kit - hopefully with a tray for making the paper in, included. Just have a wish to make my own paper for a chuckle. Impractical, but could be interesting.

I should really look to find more, but I really don't know. I like surprises.

I actually made paper once in primary school. It's not as easy as you think, it came out all clumpy and grey. Interestingly enough, I actually forgot that entire incident in my life (albeit it was around 9 years ago) until you reminded me just then.
