    Or you could just run a razor a couple of times across an old pair of jeans.

    What's the greatest number of blades?

    I've wanted to create a 44 blade razor, to illustrate the number of Johns Hopkins lacrosse championships. I've been too lazy to photoshop it though.

    Wish there were a way to make sure the spots in between the blades didn't get clogged.

    I bet those ultrasonic jewelry cleaners would work.

    20 years ago there were jokes and sketches about five-razors.
    Now we have five-blade razors.

    Which ones do you use? Looks like the beard soap has good reviews.

    This seems to work well. Thanks for the tip.

    Had a brutal shaving experience yesterday. While shaving in the shower, I looked down to rinse out the razor, and I was covered in blood from my left shoulder all the way down to my left knee. Not a little trickle of blood, mind you. The left side of my body was literally covered. I ran my hand up the side of my face to wipe it off, and it came back covered. I rinsed off to try and find the source, but within three seconds it was all the way down to my shoulder. I quickly finished shaving and hopped out of the shower, grabbing my towel and wiping off the left side. While wiping the steam off the mirror, it streamed again down to my shoulder. I alternated between wiping the mirror and my face until I finally discovered the source. I had nicked the bottom tip of my left ear lobe.

    Still dripping wet, I held pressure on it with my towel, while grabbing another to dry off as best I could. When I moved the towel, I was even more scared, as it was completely soaked in an area the size of a tennis ball. I grabbed a wad of toilet paper and shoved it to my ear and had to continue repeating the process for nearly 30 minutes before it stopped. I used septic pens and direct pressure to finally get it to stop. Then, when I tried to remove the toilet paper, it pulled off the clot and began to pour again.

    Luckily, it didn't take as long to stop the second time.

    What a pain in the ass.

    Watch out for that septic pen. Sounds unsanitary.

    It's a stivic pen. Meathead invented it.

    Actually, we're both wrong. Styptic pen or pencil.
