First of all, let me just say "Thank you very much" to the members who have used the "Donate"-link over the last couple of days to send donations. Very much appreciated. Unfortunately it seems that the donation tracker, that is supposed to track these donations are not working, so even though we are receiving all your payments, they are not registered in the donation tracker. I am taking the tracker offline right now for further investigation and hopefully it won't take long before this issue is fixed.

Do me a favor and try changing the forums layout; Use the drop-down menu in the bottom left corner and select CleanCut. Let me know if this has the same problem.

You should try a single blade razor; http://www.rwgforum....post__p__763463

Had to re-visit this thread, as I have updated my shaving habits over the last couple of weeks. Been shaving for 20 years now and I've always been using the multi-blade razors from Gillette. Been pretty satisfied with them, but I have almost since I started shaving been having minor issues with ingrown hairs. Well, after taking the advice from a friend of mine, I recently bought myself a nice Edwin Jagger shaving brush and a Merkur 34C DE Razor with Feather blades. As you can see, the blades are really cheap and they are EXTREMELY sharp. Bought the brush first and I have to admit I really like using a brush + it works the shaving cream better into my beard. The razor was kinda scary and I have to admit that I was 100% sure that I would cut myself 100 times. After having watched a couple of shaving videos online, I had use my new razor for the first time. Totally different technique and almost no pressure required. The blades are so sharp and since there is only one blade, it is very easy to rinse off the hairs. Sure, I did cut myself a couple of times, but just because I managed to shave against the growth direction of my beard. All in all, I was rather satisfied and the shave was almost as smooth as what I was used to from the Gillette razors. I've read that it takes 3-4 shaves with this kinda razor until your skin gets used to it and I had a much "rawer" sensation in my skin after shaving with this razor, so I used twice as much balm as I usually do. To make a long story short; Been using these things for over a month now and I really like these new additions to my bathroom shelf and my Mach3 will probably not get anywhere near my face any longer. Really starting to get the hang of my new razor and my shaves are as close, or perhaps closer, than ever. I also think the shaving is much more comfortable and I have to admit that I don't mind paying $8 for 10 blades when each blade can deliver 7-8 comfortable shaves + haven't had a single ingrown hair the last couple of weeks.

Don't worry, Lanikai. I have already refunded his money. Don't want yet another account flagged by PP. And personally, I suggest he finds another forum to spend his time on. Some people...

Just wanted to extend my personal thanks to Gatchaman for opening up a Paypal dispute on this "board donation"....

To all of those who have IE and problems with the reply box. Please try emptying your browser cache, temporary internet files and cookies; http://video.about.com/pcsupport/Clear-Internet-Cache.htm Not sure if it will work, but this is a general tip that will allow you to get rid of older files that might be causing problems.

Feel free to report anything wierd in this thread. For me, the reply-windows look like they have always done.

New version of the forum software has been installed. This is a maintenance release that fixes dozens of bugs, including the really annoying one that doesnt let you mark forums/threads as reads + display issues with emotcons. Because of this upgrade, you might experience that some of our additional service doesn't work. I will be taking care of this over the next couple of days. In addition to this, I have installed the same search engine as we previously used. This should give you better and more relevant hits. The search indexes are updated every 15 minutes.

They are usually fast with updates, especially when there are critical errors like this, but their mantra is basically "It's ready when it's ready"

This, and the "Mark as read"-links that are not working is a bug with the forum software. It has been reported to the makers of the forums software and it has been marked as critical. Basically that means that it will be fixed in the next release or sooner.

Well, this works for me; Click here; http://www.rwgforum.com/index.php?app=core&module=global&section=login&&do=deleteCookies Log out and log in again. Then the "Mark as read" should work.

Looking into this now

Sorry for not noticing this. Usually it is better to PM me stuff like this, as I just don't have time to read the forum every day and even when I have time, I manage to overlook posts

To those who did not win; Keep an eye on this thread

This is to funny. DOn't usually post PM's, but I just got this from db2; Yes, it is for real!

And just as an FYI, since I have seen the question raised in some threads; We utilize a custom made piece of software for these raffles. As soon as I approve the last payments in ever lottery, the script uses a random function to draw x winner(s) from the tickets bought. If anybody has any doubts about this routine, I welcome anybody to have a look at the code to see have things work or have a programmer look at the code. The script was originally developed for the raffles at TRC and have been used for over 50 raffles now.

http://www.rwgforum.com/code/US/winners.php Well, big congratulations to DB2 as the lucky winner. I was just about to say that you will never regret buying the last ticket, but after checking, I see you won on one of the previous bought ones. No matter what; Congratulations!!!! Please contact Lani for details.

PM me the right address 4 tickets left....

IF they did, I would get the payment confirmations also, and I have not received them, so no tickets paid.

Just thought I'd post some "breaking news" from Norway. The Nobel Committee announced Obama as the winner just minutes ago. "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the Norwegian committee said as the prize was announced. "His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population." So far, it only looks like BBC has the latest on this, but more will follow, I am sure of; http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8298580.stm

Payment confirmed and 6 to go
