Pops, it's the "Legs" music video. "She's got legs...she knows how to use them..." that song. It's the video with the car. Well, actually all their videos had that car. The one without a beard was named...Frank Beard.

I use an old Gilette safety razor. You can still buy the double sided blades in supermarkets, even big chains. You can hone the blades after they've dulled, much better shave than those hideous plastic jobs too, although I'm looking forward to trying the Shick Infini-T, which will have unlimited blades owing to the progress of Moore's Law:

Ah, yea… I love that [s]video[/s] song.

I didn’t know you could still get double edge blades, my dad taught me how to sharpen them by rubbing them around the inside of a water glass.

I'd have to say that's pretty Weird.

there, my poetic contribution for the day. I use the hideous plastic ones. :cry: But I do have the old fashioned brush and lather-in-a-glass. I'm still using the same box of lather disks that I bought 8 years ago and have plenty left. I do have an old fashioned razor and strap but I never got used to using it.

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he religions espousing a theology, suggesting we conquer the earth, promoting and embracing material excesses, love facial hair, and beards are very common...in contrast to the Buddhists who shave their heads and wear orange robes. Hmm, again yet another coincidence, the same orange robe a Buddhist dons willingly, those being punished by the western masters in places like Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib are forced to wear orange jumpsuits and they have their heads shaved?8) And many westerners who meditate and follow eastern practises shave their heads .

Confucius say, in Australia, State Emergency Service volunteer also wear orange jumpsuit, and all are clean-shaven... :-D :razz:
