I'm so sad I didn't see this thread earlier. Its quite a coincidence, I've been taking a course on Byzantine history this quarter. Can you post some pictures?

I like weapons that present a challenge. Like a bow and arrow, sword, nunchucks etc. There's a challenge in handling these weapons. ;) I have no idea why I posted this.
I'd just like to say, there certainly is challenge to be had in using guns. A gun, in my view, while lethal even in untrained ...

I would repeatedly send myself back one minute in time until there were ten thousand me's living in the same minute, and then.... do something? I'm open to suggestions.

Probably the gentlest, closest razor is the Gillette Venus, but I use the Gillette Mach 3 because I am a man :D . After the first shave I'd recommend shaving again every 1-2 days, but you can get away with a week if you don't mind a little discomfort. If you let it grow more than that I'd recommend ...
