Thank you Adam.Ugh. Glad you had the FaTip to make the night right!
Oops![emoji6]Thank you Adam.
I take it you're just pushing my Fatip buTTon? [emoji23]
You are a better man than I am Gungadin!Here is a razor that cost me 99 cents, including shipping: The Sik Bay
It's made of a post-space age synthetic with a partial coating of UV reflective material. That is, it's plastic with part of it painted with chrome-colored paint. With a blade, it weighs 9 grams.

And it really is called the Sik Bay. But at less than a dollar shipped, it would be a lot to expect the words "Sik" and "Bay" to be in the same script.

Check out the blade exposure:

And if that doesn't frighten you, the blade gap is equally impressive:

How does it shave? About like you would expect from a 9 gram razor with a blade protruding like the fins on a 1959 Chevrolet. It's like grasping a razor blade with a pair of pliers and pulling it across your face. The result was remarkably close, but it was a slow and frightening experience that left me feeling as though I had indeed grasped a razor blade with a pair of pliers and pulled it across my face. No collar on my shirt today, boys.
This is science. We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
Sorry about the crap photos. I was still trembling a little from the experience.
Unfortunately, this ain't gonna happen.
To get the blade in, as per the second pic in my post above, took me about five minutes due to the lousy cap moulding.
As I was playing with my shaving gear I decided to load the Sik Bay up again, ready for tonight. I thought the blade was going to snap due to the distortions it had to go through (same as last time), but I eventually managed to get it down and flush with the cap. This time the baseplate studs wouldn't engage with the blade, and no matter how much I fiddled and prodded with my instrument screwdriver it wasn't having it. I GAVE UP. Then it took me nearly five minutes to get the darned blade OUT.
The Sik Bay has made me really sick, and is now in the trash.
To brighten up my day I loaded the blade into my beloved Piccolo for tonight's shave (it was wonderful to be able to achieve this loading feat in the usual few seconds).
This razor is a) a joke, and/or b) a scam. Shame on you gentlemen for encouraging whomever is foisting these dangerous film-flams off on the unsuspecting.
I don't get that (idiom?), and google is not of any help.No collar on my shirt today
The Dictionary of Modern Idioms says that it means his neck is to irritated from the shave to wear a collar.I don't get that (idiom?), and google is not of any help.
I'm waiting for a Sik Bay clone. I see no need to pay full price for the original.Here is a razor that cost me 99 cents, including shipping: The Sik Bay
