How could she expect people to know in advance?
Silly cow.

There was a woman at my last job called Niamh... how was I supposed to know that it's pronounced Neeve?

Should've asked me. (8+p
Geekette's cousin's daughter (I know, don't ask) has her daughter called the same.
Her Mum (my Mother-in-Law) had no idea how it was spelled until a couple of years ago.
I think the child is now six. Every christmas card had the name incorrectly spelled.
(8+)

Fusion razor blades at Tesco are £9.16 a pack. They went on offer yesterday for 2 for £18.50

Good one Tesco!

I pointed this out (email) and they're sending me a £10 giftcard

Nice one Tesco!

I needed blades though so I switched to W/S Hydro 5 which are on 2 for £10 currently (so you can get a new razor with 2 blades and a spare pack of blades [4] for a tenner)

By the way I dont know if anyone uses Fusion but I had the one with the battery in (Fusion Power) but quickly learned that you dont have to buy the more expensive Fusion Power blades. The non-power blades are at least £3 cheaper and are no different apart from colour. It even says so on the back of the pack!

I emailed Game telling them they are advertising Reach for £32.99 or so but it's £35.99 on the site.

Still no reply :roll:

I just had to point out an offer at my local Tesco Express. £1.89 per bottle of coke/diet/zero or two for £3. Their till tried to charge me the full price. I pointed that out quickly enough. Didn't get ant freebies though.

No one said the word "offer" had to mean that it was better :P

Disposable razors are expensive! How often do you have to change the blade?

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

What do you use? I'm interested in getting one but not sure what to get/how good they are

I have a fairly cheap Artamis razor (from here). You have to keep it fairly sharp, I generally use the strop ever other shave and that works quite well.
I have quite a thin strop and it takes a while to learn how to use it evenly, I'd like to get a wider strop but they are quite expensive.
When I started I used shaving cream from a can, but now have shaving soap and use a badger brush. Not much difference, just adds to the experience.
