 I bought this poo poo at a discount store on a whim cause it was 99 cents and looked like cleaning fluid. It turned my poop dark blue for two days. Not even green, but like it had been painted blue inside of me

I think Occulto was made by someone who has never actually tasted tequila. It honestly tastes like Budweiser mixed with Kool Aid.

I don't really drink alcohol, but I like kombucha. Today I spotted a bottle of kombucha on the menu at a burger place. Think it was from "the boochery" or some stupid poo poo. It was 7% ABV, which is bizarrely high, but obviously I didn't think twice. Tasted like kombucha...with a little bit of vodka added. Does that sound good? Because it tasted loving terrible. It was also 22 ounces, so it was a lot of terrible.

As someone who grew up in a household where kombucha was brewed regularly, I will never understand the appeal of buying bottled kombucha. Do people just not understand wtf it is and where it comes from? I would never trust someone, much less some faceless corporation, to be like "here, drink this live fermented mushroom tea, it's totally safe." Granted it's all probably fake, in order to comply with FDA regs, but even then, what's the point?

Modern Gillette razors and blades of any kind. Just hilariously overpriced garbage from a monopoly company that tells you you need a vibrating Fusion Pro Glide with five blades and flexball technology or else you're a sissy boy. If you can't shave with a no-nonsense single blade (or maybe a double blade since they've been around for a while) razor, then you can't really shave yourself. Men had been shaving that way for millennia up to the late '90s when the Mach III came out (also the same time that gels came out which displaced creams and soaps), and then suddenly Gillette started with the whole "YOU NEED THIS BOGUS poo poo NOW FOR A BETTER SHAVE" and people have bought into that poo poo ever since, making Gillette the monopoly it is today. I will admit I used a complimentary Mach III in 1998 to try it out. Used it until the cartridges it came with ran out, then I went right back to my safety razor. Safety razors are the tits, and the blades are super cheap. Hell, even the cheap throwaway Bics are miles above what Gillette has to offer. Sometimes I like to use a Bic Sensitive razor when I'm feeling adventurous and super cheap. Also, I think it's bogus that women's razors are the same exact make and model as the men's razor, except they're pink and sold for a dollar more. That's complete bullshit. gently caress Gillette.

IIRC there are no records of people getting sick from store-bought kombucha Either way, it's just the current health food fad.

So when razor companies are arguing about a 'better shave' its in comparison to other razors designed with this in mind. Yeah, I'm not and can't be mad at razor companies for new innovations and ideas, and if people want to buy it, more power to them. Two blades is the most I'll do, but Mach IIIs and other triple blade razors aren't bad, either, I guess (I won't use them, though). Four and five blades is where I draw the line as snake oil, and the prices for 3/4/5 blade refills are just out-loving-rageous. It's why people online are rediscovering safety razors and soaps and creams with brushes again, and you can get a much closer shave with old stuff than new. It's much cheaper in the long run, too, and better for the environment. Blackchamber posted:No I believe hes saying Gilette doesnt have a 'monopoly' as you claim when in the same breath you name its competitor. Oops. meant to say oligopoly (sorry Aphrodite), but Gillette is still eye-level and dominating on the shelves.

I have owned and used a safety razor, and I have been shaved with a straight razor. Who cares? The fancy razors are more expensive, but they're also easier. You always pay for convenience, always. After years of back and forth with different ways to shave I like me some nice canned shaving cream and a disposable four blade store brand razor. That's good enough for me. I do enjoy the whole ritual with the soap and the badger brush and stuff, but eh. Who are you to tell me I'm wrong?

I like the blade on top of the Gillette fusion for getting the area between my nose and mustache and, quarterly, my barely there but still noticable if you look close unibrow. I suppose I could do that with a straight razor, but I also have a full beard and just shave my upper cheeks and neck and do some various clean up/shaping once a week or so. Spending $35 for 12 cartidges every other year to fuel my fancy razor shaving habit doesn't exactly break the bank.

You need to understand that the guy is right, safety razor shaving definitely does the job and, after a heavy start-up cost, buying blades is extremely inexpensive. Also you can get blades even at your regular drugstore. I've seen them in a suburban Rite-Aid. The point is, so what? I don't need another thing to feel bad about not doing and neither does anyone else. Also, who does that guy think he is?

You know, you can just use regular shaving cream with a safety razor, and once you get used to using one, it's the same or faster than a multi-blade cartridge razor.

Maybe in actual razor to face time, but you're not accounting for the prep time. A lot of those multi-blades are made for dry shaving. With a safety razor first you need to get that cream ready, get your brush, and make 18 posts on the internet about how much quicker and more efficient your razor is.

I like 3-blade razors and Gillette Fusions because they give me a great shave and don't cut the poo poo out of my face. Not sure what You Are A Elf is being such a bitchman about. Having said that, I normally use a Philips Norelco rotary shaver with the lotion dispenser these days. It doesn't give you as close a shave as a regular razor, but it's a hell of a lot easier and doesn't have any risk of cutting whatsoever.

I briefly considered a safety razor but like you said, the gillete cartridges last forever if you're only trimming once or twice a week. Someone just got me a Harry's razor as a gift and so far it's just as good as the Gillette. The cartridges are way cheaper too.

The thing about the crazy Gillette razors with 5 blades and what have you is that they give an amazing, flawless shave the first one or two times I use them, but then become dull and worse than a 1 or 2 blade throw-away razor afterwards.

Not only are they built to last, but there is something honestly beautiful about an old percolator sitting on the stove top watching it percolate. I've got an 8 cup (for when guests are over) and a 4 cup (for myself) Revere Ware that are both probably 60 years old and still look like new. Makes a good cup of coffee, too. gently caress percolators, a French Press makes coffee you can drink, not super burned bitter shitsludge.

Jesus just grow a beard, I haven't had to deal with all that razor bullshit in years. One time there was this Gillette promo lady on the street giving out free samples and I joked "come on, do I look like I could use one" and she was like "yeah you do." Cheeky. (Now that I think about it, I didn't see what exactly they gave out. Surely if you hand out free razor blades on the street that's not going to end well.)
