They are known as 'burners' Mark, quite popular in the drug trade....

And I am not for even a second suggesting @Ferret619 has any part of that.

Oh dear!

Here was I innocently thinking about contact without the smart phone issues ...

 

[Ferret619]

Haha gents be assured I’m no drug dealer, i actually don’t really like having a smart phone for both big data reasons, security and the impracticality of the short battery life.
27 day standby? uh yes please.
Only thing I’ll miss is automatically downloading my podcasts...but I can fix that.

Its really funny seeing people slam the phone in reviews for now being a smart phone, I mean really it’s $50.. what do you want from the thing dang!
I will say however moving to the 3310 my iPad will see more use

Really? It's being reviewed that harshly?
It's not a smartphone... And it's not pretending to be. *shrug*
It seems fine to me for what it is. Especially for the price. (I thought it would be more)

Thanks @lerenau - I've been using it for the last few shaves, and it performs beautifully.

Happy Birthday Dan ! Hope you have a great day

From the Stray Whisker... some B&M soaps (Reserve Cool and Bay Rum), APR SAS splash. Great packaging as usual. Thanks Con

 

[Snooze]

I picked this up on the Bay recently ... complete with the strop. Still a bit grimy with original soap scum... 30 mins in the ultrasonic cleaner and the razors came up a treat. I think this is the Jewel - the GEM version of the Ever-Ready Streamline. Really heavy and well plated razor. The case is amazing, blade containers pivot upwards to allow access to the blades. Looking forward to giving it a run.

I think Santa's just been..... a quiet knock at the door, nobody there when I answered.... looked down and this was sitting on the door step!!!
