I think a Colt 1911 would fit the bill. Something like a Series '70. Yes, it is not a $4795 handgun, but it is still THE 1911.

Have someone sneak a dummy round into one of your mags when you're not looking. You will see how much you flinch. Glocks are stupid.

What type of birds are they? We had mourning doves invading my old house when I was young. I liked them. Even if you just get rid of the nest, do it before it gets warm and they lay eggs.

I'll second lowslows airsoft idea. Borrow a quality rifle from someone. A quick machinegun burst would kill them very quickly

I believe when the 1992 NJ AWB came around there was a window to register any "assault weapons", or to get them out of the state/bury them under floorboards. I've always wondered, have you ever heard of anyone who actually registered it? It would be cool to own an SP1 or M1 carbine legally here. Pennsylvania is nice btw.

Most Grocery stores carry blades. Most are rebranded but usually quality. I wouldn't mess with a no name blade unless it was made here, in which case I know that manufacturer anyway. Soap and brushes you really can't find locally but I'm not actively looking for those. Some malls have shaving stores that carry this sort of stuff, but they're generally super overpriced.

I once BSed with a cop about his M&P which I think got me out of a ticket.

Has anyone used any cellphone repair shops with any success? I cracked the glass on my S3. T-Mobile wants $150, and I can buy the glass for less than $10 but I don't want to risk it myself. I'm looking for a store not run by thieves.

Unfortunately the receiver extention prevents putting an AR in a traditional rifle stock.

Nice! Just make sure you clean/sanitize those suckers first. Also, you don't need a brush/soap right away if you don't want to. I like the store brand Shoprite/Rite Aid blades. They're rebranded Personnas, which are the only ones made in USA

Pbkid, I usually shave when I get out of the shower. If I am shaving randomly or I look homeless I will use shaving cream. That's just my preference. Use whatever shaving cream you already use, then pick up a brush if you ever feel like it. That's an okay price. I wouldn't pay more than about $25 for a razor. I would be tempted to look for a cleaner razor myself. If I am going to buy a razor, I don't want it to look grungy. My travel Tech is the cleanest looking even though all of mine have been sonic cleaned and sanitized. Oddly enough, it's the only one I bought. You seem to really want a open comb type. It's a matter of preferance, and while some like open combs better, nobody ever said a real closed comb would be bad. FWIW, those Chinese razors someone mentioned can be bought at Sally Beauty Supply for about $10. I still think spending $15 more on a real razor is better but it is an option. Here is a thread describing them: badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/162606-Chinese-DE-safety-razors

The one advertised by the pawn stars guy? Bad. Well, hit or miss I've heard. For $20-30 you can get a real one. Pbkid, I rarely use anything, but if I do I use shaving cream. One day I'll use a brusg

An open comb wouldn't be a bad idea. A lot of people recommend starting with a closed comb first, although that's only an opinion. Whenever I shave my beard off I don't have an issue with my closed comb. I believe that you would be fine with either style regardless

Shotgun news is fun to buy once and a while but I would not subscribe to it. Lots of interesting adds but the articles are mediocre. It seems pretty old school

Another option is to cruise antique stores or bug older folks that may have one. I'm one of those people that like old stuff, I don't know how you feel. Regardless, clean it via soak or sonic cleaner before you use it. You really can't go wrong with a Hefty Classic Merkur. If I were to buy a new production razor I would go with either the Classic or Hefty Classic in closed comb myself. My regular razor is the travel sized Tech and I don't have a problem with the short handle. You won't regret it. You're also welcome lol In case this thread gets derailed... I'm just trying to share a good experience/product I use and I believe a lot of you would benefit from it. I'm not preaching or selling.

First off, let me apologize. I didn't realize that I posted this just to serve you explicitly, and that I failed to properly explain why a safety razor works better. Since going to www.google.com and typing "why is a safety razor better" is simply too much effort (41 keystrokes is an awful lot) I logged onto my computer in order to answer this question in more detail, since "it offers a superior shave" is too vague. Also, the extremely difficult google link is here, right for your convenience: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=why+is+a+safety+razor+better#seen courtesy of lmgtfy.com Now: here is some information I plagiarized: Cost Closeness of Shave Looks Classy Better Lather Longer Lasting Morning Zen etc. To put it shortly, cheap disposables last a few shaves and are done. They are set at an off-angle so they don't shave as closely in one pass as a DE safety razor or straight razor do, so they have to add more blades, which means more times that a blade is passing over the skin meaning rougher, dryer, more break-out-prone skin. If you go with an expensive disposable, you're spending GOBS on the blade refills. I pay between 5-10 CENTS per blade which will last me twice as long as a Mach-whatever-they're-up-to-now cartridge. The ceremony of the mug, brush, lather, and razor get me in a good mood for the morning It takes barely any longer to do it the proper way And it looks snazzy on your bathroom counter. Also, I get fewer ingrown hairs, can use the same blades with multiple style razors (adjustable, slant-bar, open comb, closed comb, etc) for different applications from trimming to shaving my head, to an everyday face-shave. It's just better. The only reason you saw the switch to disposable cartridges is that Gillette realized that they had to change the way they did business. Their old razors were too dependable, and the blades lasted too long, to remain profitable in a global market. So they created the cartridge to renew their old loss-leader system. Ever notice you can buy a new Mach4Turbo with 3 cartridges for less than half the price of a 5 cartridge refill pack? Now, I understand that may not have been specific enough. So, I attached a few links written by "shaving experts", rather than some chum as myself. These are also taken from the ever challenging Google link. http://www.groominglounge.com/shaving-double-edged-razors http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/shaving-debate-hasnt-resolved-whether-doubled-edged-safety-razor-is-best/2012/08/31/8bc2822e-f041-11e1-ba17-c7bb037a1d5b_story.html http://www.shaving101.com/index.php/shaving-faqs/182-why-is-one-blade-better-than-five.html It also appears that I wasn't 100% accurate on the differences between open and closed comb types, and I didn't even mention the adjustable types, as I am accustomed to my three piece. If you would like me to answer that for you as well I can, I am quite proficient with the website "Let me google that for you", lmgtfy.com. Again, let me apologize for not answering this the first time, as I only tried to share a good idea with a group of people. I will say though, please do try to use "your" and "you're" correctly next time you whine about something, as it is a major pet peeve of mine.

Merkur is a quality brand, but I am not familiar with them as I use Gillette Tech razors which haven't been made in 30 years. I imagine you can't go wrong with any of them. I prefer all metal three piece razors myself.

I find that my face has never been irritated by a DE blade. When I used Mach3's I would often get a bloody neck from all of the razor burn. To be honest, I'm not a shaving expert. I just find that life is better with a safety razor in every fashion and wanted to recommend it to everyone here. I suggest you search online as there are a lot of people who know more than me. Icarry, I believe it would. I haven't spoken to anyone who didn't like a DE blade.

DE blades are universal. Respect 2A, they offer a superior shave and you can easily use a new blade every shave if you want. I use a new blade every 4 shaves though. Modern cartridges are too expensive. There is a reason manufacturers keep adding more blades, while DE styles never really changed.

When you say disposable, do you mean a straight razors that has a removable blade, or common multi blade razors? Safety razors are vastly superior to modern crap.

I'll throw it out there, that if an emp killed my phone I would still carry it from habit.

I prefer old American razors. Currently produced are POS Chinese razors and quality German razors along the lines of Merkur and such. That may be misspelled. There are two main types of razors. Twist to open, and three piece. They shave about the same and the only difference is how they open. I prefer the three piece because it's easier to clean. TTO has a little knob you twist on the bottom, and the top opens like silo doors. Three piece is self explanatory. I would post pics but I'm on my phone. There are also open comb and slant bar styles, but I don't know much about them. Standard razors are the slant bar style which is what I use, and this refers to the bit underneath the blade. Again, I would show you the difference but I'm on my phone. I'll get on my pc tomorrow. As said before, my main blade is a 1953 Gillette Travel Tech. If you search ebay for "Gillette Tech" you can find a zillion varieties. I also use a TTO Gillette that was my grandfather's on occasion. I don't know much about new manufacture razors. I know Sally Beauty Supply sells the POS Chinese razors for about $10. Classicshaving.com is a popular site that sells many reputable razors in all sorts of varieties. As for blades, it's wise to try a bunch. They are cheap everywhere, and even the store brands at Rite Aid and Shoprite are quality because they are rebranded Personnas. I like to use blue box Personnas which I get online. I don't mess with new manufacture razors, which is why I know little about them. What I have works for me, and I think it's cool that my three razors are old as dirt. They work so well that I stopped using shaving cream unless I haven't shaven in awhile. Some people like to use shaving soap and a brush, I just shave when I get out of the shower because my pores are more open.

Buy a safety razor. I'm referring to the old school metal razors that take a double edged blade. I guarantee you that these offer a better shave for less money than whatever you're using now, unless you use a straight razor. I spent roughly $30 on a 1953 Gillette a few years ago, and right now I can buy 100 blades for $13 shipped on ebay. Dollar shave club has nothing on me. Shave quality.. There is no comparison.

I understand that it is a LDS policy to have three months of provisions on hand, and the church sells food for this purpose. I know people like to shop there for prep type of foods and such. I'm curious though, what is the point? I assume that canned food is canned food. What are the benefits compared to a Supermarket? I really need to can at home. I like to grow various foods in the summer and I would love to store them better. I also like Mason jars.

Coors Light is doo doo.
