Now that Microsoft has launched Windows 7 maybe they will have managed to resolve the really big problems they had with Vista. One of the interesting things with Vista was that many users when they realised how bad it was downgraded back down to Windows XP.
The rest of this post is not digital…
With this in mind I decided to to try a bit of downgrading myself. I never liked to used electric shavers and being annoyed with my dependency on a single manufacturer and their exorbitant pricing system I began to look at alternatives and I slowly slipped into stranger and stranger forums until I found one on beards and shaving… old school.
So I bought a heavy old fashioned Merkur 34C and a pack of old fashioned razor blades. It was with a certain amount of nervousness I tried it for the first time. Amazingly enough, no cuts and my face is smooth shaven. Now I am looking forward to doing this on a regular basis.
