Beloved, do not neglect or despise the grains of sand of the broken Body of Christ, for each is a precious pearl loved by God tenderly.

There are three things I know to do how with potatoes...and baking them is not included among them.Jakub said:R them po-ta-toes frozen ?Asteriktos said:They say that if you're making baked potatoes, and you don't poke some holes into it, they'll "explode". True or false?

Unfortunately not, the three things being: 'boiling 'em, mashing 'em, and sticking 'em in a stew" ;DAzurestone said:*gasp!*Ortho_cat said:There are three things I know to do how with potatoes...and baking them is not included among them.Jakub said:R them po-ta-toes frozen ?Asteriktos said:They say that if you're making baked potatoes, and you don't poke some holes into it, they'll "explode".

Redeem yourself. Is one of them include a "potato gun"?

Works better if you try it on your face.Entscheidungsproblem said:I received a double edge safety razor as a gift. Trying it out on the weekend will definitely be interesting...
Good idea, but wasteful!

Good luck with it. Once you've refined your technique a bit, I recommend experimenting with a few different blades. This made a big difference for me.Entscheidungsproblem said:I received a double edge safety razor as a gift. Trying it out on the weekend will definitely be interesting...

Nope, not frozen, though the thought of deciding to make french fries and then poking holes in every individual one is quite funny ;DJakub said:R them po-ta-toes frozen ?Asteriktos said:They say that if you're making baked potatoes, and you don't poke some holes into it, they'll "explode".

I suppose if you put a spud in the nuker for longer than a half-hour without poking any holes into it, it's likely to explode. I usually bake mine for about 8 minutes and have never had one blow up on me.Asteriktos said:They say that if you're making baked potatoes, and you don't poke some holes into it, they'll "explode".

From the looks of it, an exploded potato can cause alot of damage...PeterTheAleut said:I suppose if you put a spud in the nuker for longer than a half-hour without poking any holes into it, it's likely to explode.

Cheap, baby, cheap! You only buy the razor once. Blades are next to nothing, and if you're like me you find an old curved sharpening stone and get triple use out of 'em, at least.Ortho_cat said:So I'm curious...what are the advantages of a double-edge safety razor over a fancy gillette?
Ok, so what are we talking about in terms of performance? Does it take alot longer to shave with them? Do they shave as close? Is it easy to cut yourself?chrevbel said:Cheap, baby, cheap!

That was really bad... my kind joke!ozgeorge said:I thought I saw an Opthalmologist on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
I get an okay shave from mine. I tend to make multiple strokes, but I think I also pretty much do that with other razors when I use them occasionally.Ortho_cat said:Ok, so what are we talking about in terms of performance?

I once posted ten puns to see if they would amuse anyone, but no pun in ten did.Asteriktos said:That was really bad... my kind joke!ozgeorge said:I thought I saw an Opthalmologist on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.![]()
Lol...I think that sounds a bit too dangerous for me. So I assume the old-school barber shop blades are even more difficult/dangerous to use?chrevbel said:I get an okay shave from mine.

I've sliced myself twice. Literally sliced. I'm talking a sliver of skin something like an inch wide and a quarter-inch long. But it's only happened twice. I suspect that better form, or technique, or just slowing down would have avoided it completely. When I use a brand new blade, it tends to cut me all to pieces. But those cuts are the tiny little ones that look like they're bleeding badly, but then stop pretty quickly. Those never seem to hurt. In fact, I sometimes look at my face a minute or so later and only then realize I'm cut. "Holy cow!" -- I hadn't felt them at all. (The slices hurt like heck, though, just to be sure.)
That's my experience. I'm sure others' mileage varies...

A little late to follow-up, but I agree with what Chrevbel said. The blades are cheap and once you develop technique and determine equipment (primarily blades and soaps/creams) works best for you, it results in a much better shave. It will take a good bit longer, especially at first, but the preparation and shave becomes a much more enjoyable experience.Ortho_cat said:Ok, so what are we talking about in terms of performance?

Did you get this from our FB friend?ozgeorge said:I thought I saw an Opthalmologist on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
I tried one of those once, too. The nostalgia factor was just too much to skip. But it never really worked for me. I sharpened the living daylights out of it, using a leather belt as a strop. I never could get a good shave. I imagine it's an acquired skill. I finally gave up, and decided that safety razor shaving was all the nostalgia I really needed. And certainly safer. Straight razors are six inches long, unguarded and, well, razor sharp. Definitely a keep-out-of-reach-of-kids item.Ortho_cat said:Lol...I think that sounds a bit too dangerous for me.

I love the idea and aesthetic of a straight razor, but like you said, I think the safety razor is enough nostalgia and additional attention to shaving for me... At least for now.chrevbel said:I tried one of those once, too. The nostalgia factor was just too much to skip. But it never really worked for me.

Yes. You can tell from his sense of humour that like Our Lord, he had a stable home life.Fr. George said:Did you get this from our FB friend?ozgeorge said:I thought I saw an Opthalmologist on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
