So, I'm going to give DE shaving a try. *Update*

I used to use a disposable for a good 3 days before it would tear my face up. I have very thick and coarse facial hair and had to shave daily. Using disposables was too expensive. I've gone double edge shaving some 2 years ago. Never gonna pay those ridiculous disposable razor blade prices...

Apache for Windows

I wanted to setup something easy for others to use without having to install any additional software on their end. So if my friend wanted access to some stuff I have on my home server he/she could access it via IE or FF and just enter a username and password and browse through the files.

Apache for Windows

I'm currently using XP PRO and I am fiddling with Apache to use as a server to access my files when I'm away from home. I'm pretty much a noob to this stuff and am learning as I go. I am able to successfully share a root drive or folder but unable to access shortcut folders. In Apache...

Do I need to reinstall XP Pro after adding a RAID 0

I hope you have backups of everything or that your data is not critical. One drive crashes and there goes EVERYTHING! If it is critical, you should do a Raid 0+1 or a Raid 5 setup instead.

Anyone have any tips on shaving? Razor burn is a bitch.

After washing my face I usually grab a small rag by the shower, usually next to sink or hanging on my shower bar. It's dry, and I dry my face before applying the oil so that it gets on my skin really good rather than slide off if my face were wet, it is oil so I figure it would not apply as...

Anyone have any tips on shaving? Razor burn is a bitch.

I have to agree on this one. I would suggest trying most of the things I listed first: 1) hot shower 2) wash face with hot water and a cleansing agent ie: nivea face scrub 3) rinse face with hot water and dry with a rag 4) pre-shave oil 5) lather face well, the more the merrier 6)...

Anyone have any tips on shaving? Razor burn is a bitch.

Well, for me I was spending $20/mos on disposable blades, after one shave those damn disposable blades would eat me alive. So, doing the math, I figured I get at least 5 years out of my investment. Compared to disposables: $25/mos for Gillete Mach 3 (12pk blades) X 60mos (5yrs) TOTAL =...

Anyone have any tips on shaving? Razor burn is a bitch.

Yeah, the soap requires a brush to apply. I highly recommend using pre-shave oil, as this definetly makes a difference in reducing friction and thus less irritation of the face. The after-shave balm from Nivea does have a scent, it's a fresh clean scent. I love it and so does my woman...

I can't eat slow
