    Good "starter" double edged razor?

    Originally Posted By: hpb I'll admit it - my wife and I share a razor too. I only blade shave once a week, the rest of the time I use an electric. While the razor itself doesn't make much difference, I find the shaving cream affects the final result. OP, how much are you actually spending on...

    U.S. Army wants a new gun

    My suggestion would be to move back to a .45 ACP cartridge in a poly pistol. Sure, you give up some capacity to the 9mm, but if you're shooting at a bad guy with a pistol, your rifle is probably toast and you're probably standing toe to toe and want him to go down. .45 ball still gets it done...

    Good "starter" double edged razor?

    Hi guys- my wife and I are looking to get away from the revolving door of high priced razor refills. The running joke is that we need to take out a loan, refinance or take out a second mortgage to buy some more refills for our Gillette Fusion razor. While it does a good job, we're looking for...

    Originally Posted By: gathermewool Welding without full leathers and a mask is dumb. I don't think so. As with everything else, it's situation dependent. I've burned thousands of pounds of wire as a welder and rarely used leathers- let alone full leathers. They suck to wear. Yes, I own...

    Originally Posted By: Merkava_4 They're fine as long as you never kneel down or bend over. Ummm, what? renegade, don't buy at farm stores or big box stores. Find a clothing store staffed by actual people, not droids. If you were in Boone, I'd recommend one- at any rate, talk to them about...

    Water Separation in Coolant?

    Yes, your search was correct. While Dex Cool is a fine product and would work in your system IF you flushed it completely, the G-05 works very well too. Personally, I'd stick with the OEM product.

    Originally Posted By: oldhp Its just folded in. Bad thing is, you have to assume there is grease in there. Only way to grease is with a grease needle, but that voids warranty. Have dealer note it on your service record for any future warranty ball joint problems As it should- not to mention...

    Water Separation in Coolant?

    The coolant/water mix you sampled is relatively clear. More importantly, what did the tester read? I'm betting colder than 32*?

    More oil scams

    I see a lot of comments about "overcharging" for oil. Not all shops get killer rates on bulk and few buy their oil from Wal-Mart. Example: I can buy a quart of Euro formula Mobil 1 0w-40 for about $8.99 or just over $9.00 from local suppliers or even a national distributor. I'm going to mark...

    Love the sound of piped (or gutted stock) early 80's big bore imports! My dad had an early 80's KZ 1000 that I drooled over- of course I was just a kid then.

    JASO FB FC FD Certification Question 2 stroke Oil

    Maxima, Spectro, Shaeffers and others will be top notch lubes. As other have said, it costs money to attain the actual certs for the current FD/EGD ratings. One thing to remember is that with the JASO and ISO, the oil doesn't lube any better after the "B" level. What you get with "C" and "D"...
