I don’t mean BETTER. That’s a different conversation. I mean cooler.

An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.

If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.

That’s just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.

    Everyone who shaves should own a safety razor. The blades only cost a few pennies each, and they shave so well. Blade preference might be individual, but it’s so cheap it’s easy to experiment.

      I’ve tried electrics, disposables, and the 200 blade monstrosity cartridges, (or whatever blade count they are up to now). But none of them shave as well as my trusty Slim Adjustable. I’ve also got a GEM single edge and a Schick Injector also - I love that Injector too. I got them because those are the razors I remember my Grandfathers using to shave with.

      So I too can highly recommend them also. One razor to last a lifetime.
