You'll need a face like leather to use one of those things.
If you use moisturiser or any of that shite, a straight edge will tear lumps out of your face because the skin is so soft.
Apart from that, they're cool!
And remember to keep it ridiculously sharp.

Aye, I'd start with a DE first. Gillette do a plastic one for about 6 bucks that's worth trying before you shell out more cash.

Loads of cheap booze offers in Tescos at the moment

15 Bottles of Becks (275 ml) for €10.
10 Cans of Becks Vier (440 ml) for €8
Slap of Heineken (24 x 500 ml) €27.50

Some very good prices on the wine as well if you're looking to get the Christmas drink in.

If that means attacking you with a pint bottle of Bulmers then, sure I'll volunteer! :wink:

And if you drink all 24 cans at once, I think slap is more appropiate! :D

The correct response is "I wouldn't need an audience" for future reference.

Was going to put this in Fridays rave it was so good. Got my coffee this morning and the coffee shop have decided that all take away coffees are €2. The 75 cent per day will all add up :happy clapper:

That's nothing. Went into the Beggars Bush to watch the munster game before our Clermont encounter in Lansdowne Road. A pint of Guinness in there costs €3.85
I kid you not. When I looked amazed and asked the Barman about it, he said the recession and all that, and then went on to tell me that if I was an Old Age Pensioner it would be 50c less, i.e. €3.35
This recession is great :D

As long as I've lived in Dublin they have been known as having one of the cheapest pints in Dublin. I can stumble home from Beggars bush :D
