Ever get the feeling that...?

[nick/cut]

I was shaving today with the usual Futur/Lord combination and finished up a couple of rough spots with my Schick Hydro and had the weirdest sensation..

Schick Hydro/Gillette Fusion is like a level 1 dagger, i could barely harm a rat with it.
Merkur HD is like a bastard sword.
Merkur Futur is a level 99 Dragon Slayer.

Sorry about the analogy, hope someone gets a kick out of it.

is this a diablo 3 reference? or minecraft, or just plain old school D&D?

Custom title, anyone?

Neither. A long commute on the subway to work an iPhone and a couple of RPGs later, BAM analogy made.

It's the "rusty iron dagger" you find next to the dead Kobolds and other minor level monsters who attack in swarms, right?

The HD is actually a "Fine Steel" Bastard Sword, while the Futur is a "Vorpal Blade", almost guaranteed to remove the heads of any ordinary enemy.

(And who can remind me where the line about a Vorpal blade "going Snickity-Snack" or something similar comes from?)

Through the looking glass, Lewis Carol


Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought --So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

i don't know. My mach 3 gave a close shave (I was using a brush and creams before de shaving). I just enjoy using my de more and its cheaper. A 4 pack lasts me close to a 8 months (I carry a mach 3 in my car).
