Fully understand your problem, been looking for a Gillette G2 for a while. When ever I see multi-blade shavers always reminds me of the remake of The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin with Martin Clunes as the Project Executive in charge of disposable razers at GroomTech.
Anyway, found these in my local Family Mart / Tops. Very similar to the old G2. Doesn't swivel and no gel strip.
I use the very same.

I can't abide all these new-fangled razors which "blend with the contours of your face."
Year's ago, Tesco (UK) made/sold a cheap 2 or 3 blade razor with a rigid head, but unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued. Whilst I suffer from shaky hands, I am a man, and am perfectly capable of holding the razor in a way which suits my shaving fashion.
Unfortunately, all razors, with varying numbers of extra heads, are packaged in such a manner as to be unable to determine whether their heads are indeed rigid, or "swivel." Back in the UK, most supermarket staff wouldn't have a clue as to whether a razor has, or doesn't have a rigid head. I would imagine that here in Thailand, with the "lost-in-translation" language problem, that getting an accurate answer to the question in point would be nigh on impossible.
So, to the question: Does anyone know where I can buy a man's razor with a rigid head, either here, or in the UK? The manufacture's name of said razor would be a help, even better, a picture of one.
TIA.
David.
N.B. I am only interested in the above --- NOT the old-fashioned razors with removable/replaceable blades.
I use "Gillette Super Thin II" long handle, which is a 2 blade rigid head which I buy from Big C. I too detest there floating heads or whatever it is they call them, always cut myself. I think as long as it doesn't mention swivel head or words to that effect on the packet, you're ok.

Middle aged shave head she identifies as a lesbian and had a headband on with these colours 🌈
Fantastic to work with she was telling me is a "community activist" in her spare time and advocate and protests to stop racism and attends protests in Australia to Welcome refugees !
And I agree with her ,I'm really sick of meeting these farangs in places like Soi Bukhao (usually from Britain) who talk nothing about how immigration is ruining their country
Usually the type with shaved heads and tattoos spouting their racism & prejudices
I think immigration particularly refugees bring fantastic multi cultural benefits to every country with different foods , cultural aspects etc
I now avoid different establishments I n Pattaya particularly Soi Bukhao where you will hear nothing but negativety regarding immigrants,
Put yourself in these peoples shoes living in poverty and tell me you wouldn't escape to a better country
Welcome the refugees ! 💚
"Put yourself in these peoples shoes living in poverty and tell me you wouldn't escape to a better country".
You're right, I'd do the same in their shoes if countries like UK were prepared to throw money and accommodation at me after assisting me to land up there after travelling through friendly countries. It isn't the fault of the asylum seekers, it's the governments and the UN with their globalist agenda who are responsible for allowing, even encouraging it.

Daughter enjoys living there, past 6+ yrs, from Udon Thani (18 yrs), and we're at PKK, which is too boring for her.
Wants nothing to do with UT, and never visits. She's popping down here/PKK for a long weekend. I always enjoy visiting, more for her now, and less so, since hotels are getting a bit silly priced sometimes. Could easily live there, I think, though never spend a smog season there. So maybe not.
Main negative, it's not dog friendly.
"Main negative, it's not dog friendly."
For me, that's the only positive!

I have zero interest in anything related to this. Is Jomtien going to also be a bad choice for finding a potential long term relationship/wife as well due to its proximity to Pattaya? Would I be better off going to somewhere like Phuket or Hua Hin? I don’t drink so bars in general aren’t going to be of any appeal. My main interest in the general Pattaya area is the number of restaurants, quality hospitals, cost of living, and not getting obliterated by smoke season.
Only a small proportion of the women in Pattaya work in the sex industry. You're just as likely to meet a respectable girl in Pattaya as you are in Jomtien or anywhere else. Depends upon where you frequent of course.

Now, it seems that almost every show has gay scenes, and I'm worried about the impact it has on youngsters.
It really seems like TV, movies make it look like it's perfectly normal, and I don't believe that it is!
I mean if everyone was gay, there would be no next generation of humans, right?
I hardly watch any TV dramas these days and what you mention is part of the reason. If I do view one and a gay couple start kissing or worse, I stop watching immediately. I'm not anti gay, but something inside of me is put off by seeing same sex couples making out. It's not a choice, just a fact of life. Come to think of it, I dislike a good show being interrupted by straight couples making out, I just want the plot to play out without unnecessary interruptions. You are correct though, it's almost every drama these days.

Actually, crazy as it seems it's necessary.
From Bard AI: -
The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) allows transgender individuals to serve openly and without discrimination. This policy was enacted in 2016 and ensures that transgender members have equal access to all opportunities and benefits within the military.
Here are some additional details about transgender inclusion in the CAF:
- No surgery requirement: Transgender individuals are not required to undergo gender reassignment surgery in order to serve openly.
- Access to healthcare: Transgender members have access to a range of healthcare services, including hormone therapy and gender-affirming surgeries.
- Non-discrimination policy: The CAF has a strict non-discrimination policy that protects transgender members from harassment and bullying.
- Support networks: The CAF offers a number of support networks for transgender members, including peer support groups and employee resource groups.
No wonder they're struggling to recruit people. NATO's enemies must be rubbing their hands with glee.

In a move to align with the Liberal government’s commitment to “inclusivity,” Canadian military bases are required to provide menstrual products, including tampons and pads, in men’s washrooms by December 15.
This directive, issued by Employment and Social Development Canada, extends to all federally regulated workplaces and military installations.
True North has independently verified the implementation of this policy in at least one Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) military base, where menstruation kits are now available in men’s washrooms.
Major Soomin Kim of the Department of National Defence confirmed that this decision aligns with federal government directives, emphasizing compliance with the Canada Labour Code.
“Starting December 15, 2023, as per the Canada Labour Code, all federally managed washrooms will be required to provide menstrual products to all employees,” Major Kim told True North.
The federal directive underscores its commitment to “better protect menstruating employees” by mandating the presence of menstrual products in all toilet rooms, irrespective of their designated genders.
According to a recent federal briefing note, the CAF is facing a recruitment crisis as it struggles to find willing Canadians to fill the military’s thinning ranks.
Dear God in Heaven. It makes the Monty Python song "I'm a Lumberjack" no longer seem funny.

More fool you for using an agent who deals with an office outside your area. That would be a definate no no from me. The agent I use deals direct with the Jomtien office where I live. Only dodgy ones deal out of area.
Yes, I know the Jomtien agents deal with that office, because sometimes when I'm at the counter, I have to wait when a runner comes in clutching a pile of passports to be stamped. The IOs know exactly who the agents are and wouldn't even consider putting a stop to it because it's their bread and butter. For that reason, I'm sure that those using agents need have no fear of being called out for it. Also, as I've said before, if I could afford it I too would use an agent.

They're praising the Taiwanese embassy for investigating the reason that a Thai hospital refused emergency treatment for one of it's citizens, not to "pick them up and take them to the hospital".

Your 40 years old so you have circa 40 years left to live all going well.
You have a decision to make.
You can retire early now with 100k baht per month to spend.
You can work another 5-10 years after which time you have 200k per month.
It could be as high as another ten years but if you are lucky it might only be 5 years, This isn't predictable.
Do you take the 100k per month now or put your head down and double your income in the coming years for a much more comfortable life?
Pros/Cons
Cripes, I've only got six months left, if all goes well.

Great news for female travelers .If one of my daughters had told me that whilst in a foreign country, she'd gone with just a male tour guide for company, to a a secluded beach, I'd have been very angry with her. Because he was a tour guide didn't make him any less likely to become a sex offender. The poor girl didn't expect or deserve to be sexually assaulted, but I would advise her to use more caution in future.

i know some alcoholics in denial, drink every day but don't acknowledge they have a problem, to be fair it's not a big issue until many years later. Actually they have some days off and think that means they're ok, big mood swings
I've drank just about every day of my life since I was 15. I'm now 79 yoa and in my opinion, fit as a fiddle. I jog every other day and weigh 71 kg. I see many unfit fat unhealthy men who don't drink. I know which I prefer. Alcohol is a great relaxant.

Maybe you can explain your idea of the event,
How did the bus driver get in possession?
I think he was referring to money found and handed in to police by bus and taxi drivers after the passengers had been dropped off. He wasn't suggesting the driver had stolen it.

Not noisy at all thankfully, I don't think many people live full time on my floor. A huge relief as the previous condo I was in was the worst with some idiot smoking all day and leaving his door open with the tv on full blast and the smoke would stink up my unit and the hallways. Also had some guy who I suspect was mentally ill constantly laughing and making weird noises that would echo through the hallway.
Sounds a bit like my old condo in Jomtien. Had a German guy lived opposite. Nice fellow, but he and his Thai girlfriend used to leave their door open all day whilst playing loud country and western music. I moved to a different condo building in the same complex and it was worse if anything. Doors slamming, renovation noise, loud bass-heavy music from other units, noisy people coming and going at all hours of the night, bass-heavy music from the beach etc etc It was a relief to finally move into a house. If I was ever to move into another condo, I'd rent the most expensive that I could afford with good insulation between the units and some distance from the beach.

Although I love to listen to classical music, I've never been a big fan of J S Bach. A few pieces I do enjoy, but most of his music I find boring. A good composer in my humble opinion is one whose entire works I can listen to over and over ie Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Sibelius to mention a few. I keep returning to old JS, but can't seem to get on with him.

Reckon everyone on the planet would fit into one of those categories. It certainly makes me one.

I agree with what you say. Thailand is full of middle-aged divorcees, a lot of whom are very tasty ladies. I married one of them fifteen years ago and we're still together.
