    27 inch Samsung power supply went south after a year. Had to return it to Costco. It is supposed to have a 2 year Samsung warranty. Anyone ever tried to get anything from Samsung? Replaced it with a Vizio 32" LED Razer. Was hoping to get a high quality panel, like a 10 bit, but, I seriously...

    Tried DD's shave blind in the shower. Seems to have worked, with no blood letting. It's a great way to do a first pass, then come back and finish the little missed spots. By the time I get through the 95 or so, fairly dull 7 AM blades, I should be ready for some sharper blades, and have...

    Considering the i7's you buy, I can see that. Still, it's Passmark score is huge: 6718. Is it possible the other components in the laptop just can't get it data fast enough? In theory, the 2670QM should be faster, according to passmark, then my i7 940. Still, I don't think it's getting data...

    Odd, but I agree with Merc, so far anyway. Probably why I want old hardware around, to play Quake 3-4. I'd really like to be able to play Tex Murphy again. Even though a bit buggy, it was really fun. The Call of Duty games are sitting in my desk. Haven't had the urge to get them out and play.

    Howell great link. For most, the blades I've got last one or two shaves. That's 100 blades for 16 dollars. So, .16 cents a shave if I use them once, .8 cents for twice. Better then .50 cents each for Disposables that cut me pretty consistently.

    He's not an idiot, but, English is a second language. Also, in this area, it is a status symbol. Not to mention it's his work connection, so getting the newest model, in the hope that it is the best for his purpose, isn't an idiot thing.

    The Merkur gets really close. It has areas that are scalloped out, so that the blade gets REALLY on your skin, without breaking it.

    I've got a Panasonic wet or dry ES4026. Doesn't work on my neck, takes WAY too much time, but, it's slightly better then nothing. The Merkur is fantastic, and, seems to addlife, and shaving closeness to older blades that the cheaper razors didn't.
