I like the Mach 3 but the costs are more overall than the Henson's. I looked at the Dorco and they are cheaper.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:25:51 +0000.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:25:48 +0000I understand people will disagree with opinions. What i don't understand is how people can not understand that other people's opinions.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:25:27 +0000Methinks that using alcohol during shaving might be not a good idea. I would not reccomend it.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:20:35 +0000A double-edge? My skin is too old for that! Dorco (Korean) has a nice double-edge and are prices nice.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:18:53 +0000They are referring to a unit which stores energy (ie a battery), rather than a unit that simply changes one voltage value to another (such as 110v to 220v AC or 220v AC to 12v DC). The risk of a stored energy item (a powerbank), is that a fault or short-circuit may occur in the unit, which creates a fire, and that can be a big problem because many powerbanks use Lithium as part of the construction, and Lithium (and other group 1 elements) have a very vigourous reaction in the presence of water.... (never throw water on a powerbank fire!!) Buying a powerbank? Avoid cheap Chinese units :) My power banks are quality brand, $100+ each. Having said all these, I keep having problems with my trusty old, bare-bones 220v AC to 12v DC car battery charger. Customs can't figure out what it is and want to confiscate it.... :)Sun, 31 May 2026 01:18:35 +0000I have moved all my data over to Google Drive, and can sync with Mint's Home folders.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:16:49 +0000Were that true, then why can't a local IO approve an extension based on Thai family. Any authorised competent officer would be under the direct supervision of the Commander, based at a regional office.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:11:01 +0000OrvilleSun, 31 May 2026 01:10:19 +0000Starts to look as if his 250th birthday event will be another showing of what a loser he is, and how intellectual (that obviously excludes MAGA's on here) people think about him. https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/trump-floats-rally-speech-musical-175814512.html Trump Floats Rally After Musical Acts Abandon 250th Event (Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump responded to a wave of cancellations by artists who were scheduled to perform in Washington for the US’s 250th birthday by proposing himself as a better alternative. “I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World,” Trump wrote in a social media post Saturday. The president said he would “take the place of these highly paid, Third Rate ‘Artists,’ and give a major speech, rallying the Country forward like I have done ever since being President!” At least five of the nine performers pulled out of the shows on the National Mall this week shortly after they were announced, saying the event beginning June 25 was more political than they had been led to believe. Freedom 250, which is organizing the events, is a group described by Trump as a public-private nonprofit that also organized an overtly Christian prayer meeting on May 17 that included a video message from the president.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:09:45 +0000So if you can't be bothered with a rebut to the salient points, why bother replying? Nonsensical!Sun, 31 May 2026 01:06:54 +0000I recently read a newspaper article about HoLEP, which stands for Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate. I personally have never heard of this surgical procedure. What is your take on this?Sun, 31 May 2026 01:06:49 +0000Your obsession with Putin clouds your judgement. You see the malign fingerprints of your bogeyman everywhere. Russia is indeed conducting a hybrid war against the west, but given its lethal support for Ukraine this is unsurprising. The stray drone in question is not part of this. Nor would Russia invade the Baltics as you suggest, as it is too overt and would likely invite a NATO response. You forget that there have been numerous incidents where Ukrainian drones and missiles have landed on NATO territory. Zelensky always denies they are Ukrainian, even when proven otherwise. And no, they are not all down to Russian jamming. That has been debunked too. As I stated, most probably an unfortunate consequence of the war.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:06:27 +0000Use an electric most days, but the Mach 3 always gives me a very close, smooth shave. Anyone use the Henson's? I'm thinking of getting one.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:05:35 +0000Pattaya is never really 'quiet' anymore, and hasn't been for years, except during covid. Instead, it has times when the tourist attractions are a little less busy. Pattaya itself, though, is booming with new construction literally everywhere and a rapidly growing non-tourist population. Beachside, all those massive new condo projects are not sitting empty. It seems like almost every day I read of a new one being announced--I am interested in what is being constructed but I can't keep up with all the new projects. It might be an even bigger story on the Darkside, where I now live. Here, there are even more new projects all over the landscape. Mabprachan, my area, has become extremely popular and there is construction everywhere you look. Huay Yai is also quite popular and also has lots of new development going on. There are at least a half-dozen developments going up just around my housing estate. Spouse and I are building a new house on the Darkside for ourselves and the other day we had to pick something up at Mega Home. When it first opened I remember there were some comments on AN as to why Pattaya needed another home store, and would it attract any customers. Well, the parking lot, on a week day morning, was quite full. And, since Mega's opening, Pattaya has added yet another Home Pro, and a very nice one with a restaurant, on the way to Sri Racha--to join another large home store--Do Home--a few doors down the road. These new home stores opening, adding to the ones already here, point to a rapidly growing housing market--and a growing number of shoppers for home products.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:03:54 +0000The only reason I could see for using an electric after a wet shave, would be to knock off the spots you miss.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:02:04 +0000The balm will not contribute to the smoothness of the shave, as you have already cut the whiskers off.Sun, 31 May 2026 01:00:49 +0000when u start with TVC they ask for all ur docs and what you exactly want they review them if they CANT help you, they will say so this is BEFORE any monies are paid FYI: for TVC it does not matter where you are in ThailandSun, 31 May 2026 01:00:14 +0000Fair comment, Lou. I didn't think that far ahead!Sun, 31 May 2026 00:59:25 +0000In 2010 I bought a "zippo" the size of a hardback novel. Takes normal-sized flint and wicks. Still works.Sun, 31 May 2026 00:57:46 +0000An electric razor leaves whiskers the length of the cover on the blades. A Gillette or similar can get right down to the skin. I personally get a much smoother job done with my blade.Sun, 31 May 2026 00:55:27 +0000
