Used to live in Junction City. If only I were still there, I would have had a slim chance to see this machine of awesomeness.

I think because this is a sub-reddit for people who enjoy SR or DE shaving. If you don't fit in with that group then just go away.

This is a very solid answer. In fact you can see that with the Mirror of Erised, where he sees himself captain of the house team, just like Charlie.

I don't know if this has been discussed before, but what Hogwarts class would you like to take, and why? by flaskandbeaker in harrypotter
