And last but not least...

I started shaving with a straight razor and read great reviews about this stuff. Thought I'd give it a try.

(Sorry for all the separate posts!)

I didn't pay for it but got my work to finally let me get a laptop so picked up a Lenovo X230. First time using a Lenovo and I am seriously impressed! Hands down the best Windows laptop I have ever handeld and the build quality is second only to my MBP. When I leave Macs behind (probably when my 2011 MBP dies) I'll be picking up a Lenovo instead.

Can you tell me the benefits from shaving with a straight razor? Can you go a few days without shaving, then using a single blade?

I got tired of buying $20 razor blades and using the 5 pack cheap ones, they are working good so far with the art of shaving package I got.
 
This should be a nice upgrade from my launch day original DS, sadly the screen on it is developing glitches.

They give a nicer shave and can shave off a few days growth. Once youve bought all the shaving kit - razor/cream/brush etc then blades are cheap to buy.
 
Canon 85 f/1.8

I use it to shoot basketball, so I didn't want the extremely slow focusing f/1.2 model. Way more expensive, impossible to use for sports.
 
I did quite a bit of splurging the past couple of days and since I don't do that often I feel guilty.

My biggest purchase of the splurging spree...

32GB iPhone 5, zagg dry shield, and belkin grip candy in green case.

I am just gonna blame my ipad for the bad pic. :p

Everything Big Stevie said. It's a skill to learn but the shave is amazing. So close. I can easily go two days between shaves. I started with a pretty cheap razor (here... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ONHBBW/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00). Careful though... Watch some videos before trying it. These things are crazy sharp. First run through, I nicked myself twice, one was pretty good too! Second time through I only had one small nick. Last time was totally clean. Nice!

Good luck,

Thanks, guess I got the safety razor and straight razor confused. I was thinking this:

Technically this was a few days ago, but it's for my Nexus 4.

That's really cool. It's things like this that sometimes make me wish I actually enjoyed using Android. But I don't.

So i'll wait until 2019 when I can do that with my iPhone32.

Can you watch your local teams game? I tried it last year with my team and it was blacked out.

Yes through a little workaround. All you need to do is use a proxy to start the stream and then disable it.

1. get the plugin stealthy through chrome or firefox
2. disable stealthy. log into gamecenter.
3. start stealthy. Pick your hometown game
4. once the video starts to play, disable stealthy
5. enjoy!

I use airparrot to stream it to my tv as well; that way I can multi-task using my computer and watch the game.

I got a straight razor for Christmas, and grabbed some of this exact cream from Amazon. I gotta say it's scary taking that super-sharp blade to my throat.
