What's up with the "Brotherhood of..." and "Member of the so and so" and all that?

Don't let him in, we'll never get rid of him!!!

I think four years in the Russian military would wake him up a little.

 

The sad thing is that he stated that he will appeal the ruling.

His parents have already tried to give him money to get a place, but he doesn't want to work or do anything..

 

And to the OP, I like some of the Russian blades, but it was mostly because of the price.

 

Wow! Guys I had no idea that my question would generate such a lively conversation. Any way I'm going to post my thread to start the Soviet Super Shavers.

 

He has a tie on....Man I hope he isn't waiting in line to be interviewed for a job

 

It's probably a clip on

 

Are you sure?

 

In context tho, it's some authentic frontier gibberish. I'm particularly glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech.

My kinda people right here!!

 

I thought this was already a prerequisite to post here. Did somebody change the rules and I didn’t hear about it? Damn kids. Now get off my lawn!

 

Don't worry Fuzzy, I already vetoed the nomination.

 

Cranky Old Guys, eh? I'll let the late John Lennon comment: "Doncha know that you can Count Me Out???"

 

I didn’t know that until I took a trip to NY and the guy at the station came running out cussing me for not reading the tiny sign. Strangely he really got upset when I asked him why he hadn’t come out when I pulled up a few minutes earlier. When they had full service stations near me they actually had people out waiting for you to pull up to the pump, since full service was a faster convenience that you paid extra for.

 

Drivers in Oregon just recently got the privileged of being able to pump their own. Remember back in the day...

 

As a former resident of NJ it took a couple of visits to the gas station before I stopped waiting for an attendent to come to the car, here in FL. Then on a recent visit I got some seriously disturbing looks from them 'cause I grabbed the nozzle to serve myself.

Before I lived in NJ I lived in PA when it was optional as to wether you got self-service or had the attendent do it. I once asked why NJ didn't allow self-service and the answer was that way back there was a serious accident at a self-serve station and so the law-makers in Trenton said never again. So that was that! It's been that way since then.

What a world!

 

They always say to do that with aluminum wheels. I always ignored it. About a year ago I had the tires rotated on my pickup, and a week or so later, I happened to notice a lug nut sticking out past the rest. Had two loose ones on that same tire. The rest of the truck was fine. That same month, my daughter had brakes done on her car (different shop), and lugs on a rear wheel loosened up enough to damage the lugs. Never did before, but now I make sure to check them.

 

Mostochlegmash/Мосточлегмаш has a very nice website. They make the Rapira, Voskhods, Lada lines of blades. They also makea couple of razors too. They are in Moscow. As noted before Gillette too has a manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg where they make the following blades:

Gillette Super Stainless
Gillette Platinum
Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless
Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge
Permasharp
Iridium Super
Astra (Superior Platinum, Super Stainless and Keramik)
Sputnik
Polsilver
Rotbart
Nacet
Tiger

So that's quite a list for those of us that like to explore, if any of you have had any experience with the more obscure blades on this list please share your thoughts.
