    The wet shaving thread

    I guess you're referring to those multi-blade razors that Gillette specialise in? Yes, they're very fast and safe to work with, I have one of those with me. I mightn't be objective in this assessment but the end result is just not as smooth as with a safety razor.

    The wet shaving thread

    Ah, thanks for sharing. I've always looked at Bombay SC as some sort of hipster new-age brand that is more show than go. Will defo check them out. Thanks for this. Shaving is once a week. I'd like to do it at least twice a week, though laziness gets the better of me. Since you're talking about...

    Alright; on T-BHP, a person had shared links from Alibaba for an affordable, quality helmet BT intercom+cam. Got me wondering!

    Is it possible for individuals (not wholesale distributors/sellers/importers) to buy from Alibaba?

    The wet shaving thread

    I have no experience of using a straight razor, hence the question and the associated apprehension. I gather from your answer that it's not advisable and not something that many would use to shave their face, let alone their head. Fair enough, will read up more on this though will love to hear...

    The wet shaving thread

    Any head shavers here? Recently started shaving at home (before the lockdown as barber visits were getting prohibitive from both time and money perspective) using a classic safety razor. Had bought a Gillette Fusion Glide on the reco of another head-shaving friend who thought it'd be a better...

    Airtel will deactivate my SIM by 2nd Oct unless I change to new 4G SIM

    I actually got this SIM exchange done a few days ago without an Aadhaar. Just gave them the old sim, the dude put it inside some basic dual SIM phone along with the new 4G capable SIM. Handed me the new SIM a minute later saying it would start working in an hour. Didn't pay anything nor...

    Reliance Jio Rollout

    Same here. Don't get more than 1.1 to 1.4 mpbs during day time (more like 7 AM to 10 PM or 11 PM at night). And this is outside the house in the open. OTOH, downloaded a 1.2 GB MIUI ROM at 5.30 AM and hit 20 mpbs consistently inside the house. Download completed in about 10 minutes.

    0-10K Redmi Note 4 from Gearbest

    Why not go for the Note 3? Judging by the specs, Note 4 seems more like an incremental upgrade.

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    While I still support the demonetization move, am deeply disappointed at the introduction of new 500 and 2000 rs. notes. No longer feel 100% convinced about the whole thing. I wholeheartedly agree this has been managed absolutely terribly. The government's actions are reactionary rather than...

    Demonetisation and its Aftermath

    No matter when it was done, some level of problems would have been inevitable simply because of the nature of the change. I remember my father recounting a tale of how a similar number was done on 1000 rs. notes back in the late 70s or 80s and there wasn't enough time for most people to even...

    How Sensible is this Slogan "Do not encourage Chinese products from now on"

    I feel it's beyond stupid! I'm not calling out any person but rather find laughable the very idea of something like this because it goes against basic economics. What if China returned the favor by closing the doors on Indian iron-ore, which is among the largest Indian exports to that country...

    PC Peripherals Ricoh SP210SU - Getting completely dark prints.

    And I learnt something too; when it comes to printers, recommend or buy only those brands that are backed up by good (and affordable) official ASS or decent third-party support. I say affordable coz we contacted the official Ricoh helpline to see if their technician/engineer can diagnose the...

    PC Peripherals Ricoh SP210SU - Getting completely dark prints.

    I gave my working cartridge as well along with the friends' defective one to the repair guy. He came up with this idea a good 2-3 days after this. Am sure it must have been out of accident more than anything else cause he himself wasn't able to explain how he concluded that the chip was at...

    Windows Extra dreamspark win8/7 keys, can they be upgraded to Win 10

    It did. Language chosen during installation was 'English (India)'! I learned only now (that is after posting the initial doubts a couple of days back) that Windows keys are not language specific.

    Windows Extra dreamspark win8/7 keys, can they be upgraded to Win 10

    Got it activated. Yayy!! Downloaded the latest Windows 10 x64 ISO build 1607 (the one which comes with all editions like Pro, Home and N) via Microsoft's Media Creation Tool. The Windows 8.1 key didn't work (error code 0x80041023) after which I tried the Windows 8 key and bam, it activated. So...

    Windows Extra dreamspark win8/7 keys, can they be upgraded to Win 10

    hhmm could be. Would you know what this means "error 0xc004e016 on a computer running microsoft windows non-core edition"? Also, any other way (read as cheap) of getting a genuine Win 10 key?
