Moved from Parker DE to Pearl flexi adjustable razor.
Quick review after 1 shave (hair growth over 3-5 days) - it is not as aggressive as reviews make it out. I started at 2, and had to move to 4 to get a very clean shave. Definitely needs pre shave lubrication as it doesn’t glide as smoothly as my previous razor.
Also the handle is short for my taste, would have definitely preferred a longer handle - but costs would have increased substantially due to all brass construction.
Handle knurling is very well done. CNC brass machined.
On to the shave - smooth as baby’s bottom. Did 2 passes with level 4, no cuts or nicks. The area above the lips is specially prone to cuts for me (with Parker, going against the grain) - but not here. The heft does most of the work - no need to press it hard on the skin.
Overall, very compelling razor. Definitely recommended for adjustable shaving options.Buy one lego less and buy a rockwell 6s FFS

Anywhere between 2.5-3.5%, although you can expect even 2.2%.
Visa and MC generally quote 1.5-2.5, haven't seen many instances where it was above 1.5% during my tenure.
Visa and mc can go as low as 1.2 percent too..amex are too anal.about their margins

Agreed. My chemist who we buy from regularly gives a 10-15% discount every time depending on the amount. 2-3% will not pinch him.
3 percent is a lot when you just have to pay for payment processing.

Amex takes 3 percent and abovec which is ridiculous for chemist and low margin retail

Advice for those planning to play this with their son/daughters.
Dont.
A. They keep begging you to start the next session of games.
B. They get surprisingly aggresive and angry when you don't make a jump or do some co op part. Role reversal here at home as my daughter yells at me and i sulk.

I read Godblind, but didn't feel like reading the next two in the series. Its okay - nothing great and I don't want to spend precious time reading mediocre stuff.
Anyhoo, with the New Year and everything - have hopped onto Malazan Book of the Fallen. Its on my radar for years now, and its finally time to do it.
A couple chapters deep in Gardens of the Moon.
Thanks for the headup man..will try malazan

Honestly if you loved Black Company you will like Malazan Book of the Fallen.
I haven't read it but plan on getting to it soon, but Erikson's biggest inspiration was Glen Cook's Black Company.
---------- I'm currently reading the Godblind Trilogy by Anna Stephens. Very fast paced, and dark. Short chapters too, the pages just fly by.
Itching to start a new series, maybe will start malazan.. and is godblind completed?

Strikers is an action rpg though. Hack and Slash basically.
Don't play it if you haven't played persona 5 though. It's a direct sequel to 5.
Man I played the hell out of persona 5, easily 100 hrs.. probably my best game of last gen !
Did not know strikers was hack and slash.lol

Nah, I did not do the True Millenium Tower. Seems the basic requirement to do that is level 99. Frankly, it's pointless, and the grind is really boring. Frankly, the grind to finish the story itself tested my patience. No way I'm doing that big grind just for an optional boss - on a game that's completed anyway. I would suggest you ignore it as well. You'll likely get burned out of the game otherwise.
Yeah man, just did that. I tried yakuza kiwami today. The game felt a bit clunky to say the least, not gonna give it a second go. Downloading yakuza 0, let's see how that goes.
Thought of starting persona strikers, but probably would be an overload of turn based rpg . Have been sitting on that game for a couple of months. Lol

@roun90 did you do the true millennium tower.. am at main level 75 and job level 40 odd I guess, gonna be a hell lot of needless grinding to do the true millennium tower.

What the heck is Soul Patch?
Anyway, Ichiban is a great protagonist. Love how they make the effort to distinguish each character, and also justify the turn based gameplay on the story. Ichiban is delusional and mad himself (In a different way than Majima - not spoilers btw). It's great.
@Madmage This game, unfortunately does not hold a candle to Yakuza's finest story-wise (Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 5), but it sets up the story for the new series nicely. The entire game is a set up for future Ichiban games IMO.
Yes that's what I Heard. Gonna start 0 after I am done with it. After taking a small break.

Anyone playing this gem right now? What a fantastic game. The story has more twists than the old khandala road

@Bird Bird Bird Biocon's investments have finally started to give some early results. Bicara presented it's data for the lead immunotherapy program.
Also, was looking for Natco to crack today but someone absorbed all the selling in the morning and it just took off after that. Wasn't able to get the quantity I desired.
Doubt bicara will have any effect on the share or balance sheet soon. And even when i.e in a few years time, if it passes clinical.trials , it will be a very tough fight against opdivo and keytruda which are getting approvals for various cancers across the world.
But are you bullish about Biocon in the 3 or 6 month horizon?

Absouletly right . Because of holidays and people travelling its a really good quarter. Now real trouble is even if they open and it starts raining there wont be any customers until late august. Its getting rough out there esp. for small owners. Rent , EMI , Light bills no relaxation on any of those .
I feel you bro.
