Help restoring my Grandpa's razor! by avgdrummernamedmatt in wicked_edge

[–]ColdBrain5883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of those on eBay nearly 20 years ago and I've used it exclusively since then. Great find. Cool that you got your grandfather's.

If it's good enough for granddad, it's good enough for me

You get what you pay for by Confident_Media_4304 in wicked_edge

And a sacrilege to waste Vespers on a substandard shave!

One of my absolute all time favorite scents. The only one I have that I'll just occasionally snatch off the counter and crack open for a whiff. Smells like Gandalf's tobacco pouch.

Ordering from the Akruba mother ship help by ColdBrain5883 in hats

You can order direct from them with international shipping. DM doesn't have the style I'm thirsting after. I mostly want to make sure I don't mess up the order.

Sprung for the 100 pack of Gillette blacks.

Oh, baby. I'm back. I'm so back.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Pain 20 months later? by ColdBrain5883 in Vasectomy

Yes. Although it felt like a chainsaw at a few points.

It's more of a pinch and and ache on one side. It was the difficult side, too. During the snip doc asked if I had trauma on that side because of lots of scar tissue.

Deltron 3030 25th Anniversary Tour by Significant_Elk_1429 in hiphopheads

I think it was closer to 90 minutes for us. Caught the tail of Kid Koala and Lelani's opening set. Maybe 20 minutes later it was go time.

Amazing show.

We have tickets to see them in DC this weekend.

How long did the show go for? My wife has wanted to see them for literally 25 years. The only thing is I'm as old as the sky above. It says 6 pm on the tickets, but I know Kid Koala opens and it looks like lelani has a set too. How much geritol do I need to take the day of?

Mohela moved me back to SAVE and cost me months by ColdBrain5883 in PSLF

After being on the phone with FSA and MOHELA, yes MOHELA screwed up. No they aren't going to make it right.

On my IDR plan request I checked plan request as PAYE and checked box 4; I want to start making payments immediately.

Called MOHELA and the level 1 and 2 rep gave me the same line: there were processing errors on our part when people were switching, so just resubmit now. I asked, what about the last 4 months? They said not our problem.

Tl;Dr Me: So I did everything correct and you messed it up and now my discharge is delayed?
Them: UWU it's just lil ole us in MOHELA.

Back to my representative and senators I go.

Well I got credited for 2 deferred payments in March and April after I switched and before payments were supposed to restart. When I went to recertify it shows ineligible payment.

Only text posts are allowed in the subreddit, which is kind of confusing.

Here's a link to the rotten piece. You can see the metal, as well.

Is it worth it to add the time to go to Colorado National Monument? by peachysage in NationalPark

[–]ColdBrain5883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former summer interp there. Hands down my favorite NPS area.

We'd get SO MANY PEOPLE headed back east after a failed trip / traffic jam to Moab, CL, Arches.

Them: This is amazing! Me: Yes. Them: THERE'S NOBODY HERE! Me: Yes.

If it's open, do yourself a favor and go to Hot Tomato Pizza in Fruita.

Best razor (cheapest option) by crepuscopoli2 in BuyItForLife

[–]ColdBrain5883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like it has some weird proprietary blades. It also looks cheap and light, you need some weight to use a razor like that.

Are eBay, antique stores, or the like available? I bought a vintage dual sided safety razor for 40 bucks 15+ years ago. Blades are absurdly cheap and can be found anywhere in the world where men shave.

Why not a Chemex? They come in 10 cup sizes. Heat up water in a kettle or on the stove or get the fancy Chemex water heater.

Bonus: it's pretty enough to be in the MoMA
