davertfnewman Posted February 18, 2025 Posted February 18, 2025 Made the mistake this morning of using a razor other than what I normally use to finish off some trimming I did last night. I normally use Gillette Mach 3 blades, which I change pretty regularly and keep the handle on. However, found a bag of unused Bics and thought they'd be good for finishing off and getting stray hairs I hadn't caught. Fuck! On the first shave I managed to somehow go across the nail of my little finger to where it's sliced the nail and drew blood. Have stuck a plaster on it to protect it, but going to be waiting for it to grow out to trim off. Luckily I have nails like Wolverine's claws, but watch it not grow. Reminds me of a buddy of mine who has about five hairs on his chest. Brought a Bic into the changing room of the gym to shave it in the mirror and almost immediately put a square of blood on his chest with the slice. Quote

Members SuperBacon Posted February 18, 2025 Members Posted February 18, 2025 Ah gotcha. Well I can sympathise. I have dreadful skin and acne so shaving has to be very careful for me, so of course I usually do it with a throwaway in the bath with no mirror! I like to live on the (razors) edge. Quote
Dr. Alan Grant Posted February 18, 2025 Posted February 18, 2025 Every clip I see of Saturday Night Live confirms my suspicions that it’s the least funniest show ever. How the hell has it been going for 50 years? Quote

How the hell has it been going for 50 years? I think it's impossible for it to be consistently good on the basis of how it's structured. I've got a few books on SNL due to finding it's existence and everything around it more interesting than the show itself and it just seems like an intense nightmare to pull it off, it doesn't feel entirely dissimilar to how certain aspects of WWF/E used to be under Vince. I reckon in it's entire history they've probably had about a dozen episodes at most where everything was funny or decent. It's very much a selective viewing thing for me. One of those things where occasionally they hit a real home run skit that goes viral but you have about 4-5 years in-between where you forget it still exists. Statistically it's impossible for it to be the worst comedy ever as 'Coming of Age' exists. Edited February 18, 2025 by Chili Quote
Paid Members JLM Posted February 18, 2025 Paid Members Posted February 18, 2025 Yeah they’ve had some belters over the years but sketch comedy is always extremely hit and miss. It’s an American comedy institution and, to its credit, has launched the careers of many great comedy performers and writers. Definitely only exists for me in occasional YouTube Clip form though, couldn’t imagine watching full episodes of it. Quote

How the hell has it been going for 50 years? It's just one of those overtly American comedy shows that doesn't translate at all (for the most part) to a global audience. Like most of the late night talk shows over there (Fallon, Leno, Kimmel, etc.) - they're just so painfully American in their presentation/material that it's immediately off-putting to watch. Quote

That's rum, man. At least razors are a relatively clean cut, so hopefully it should heal quickly. Quote
