for the bikini area? Do you find that any old disposable one will do, or are the more expensive ones better?

Venus is the best I've found. I've tried several, including the Venus disposable. The regular Venus is better than the dispoable. I also like the Bikini Zone products.

I love my Venus Vibrance for this area. I've had it about a year. Still on the original battery,but I buy replacement heads regularly. One day I heard a very strange strange loud sound coming from my bathroom. I looked around,found my Venus Vibrance in the bottom of the tub (dry) but turned on and buzzing.

What are your favorite/ least favorite reseeding annuals?
Q
Comments (3)
Right now, tomatoes are my LEAST favorite reseeders! They grew everywhere this year, even more than last year. Must have been in the compost and not cooked enough. Hating goldenrod - it tries to take over and there are several different kinds here; I was coddling one thinking it was Balloon Flower. Love: Alyssum Petunias Forget me nots Cosmos Ageratum (they don't flower as fast as indoor starts) Violas, but they petered out this year after a 5 year run First year trial: blue woodruff - asperula - is supposed to reseed. I threw some seed on the ground just a few weeks ago and it is already blooming. Hope it comes back. It's a lovely delicate blue flower.

What is YOUR Favorite (and least favorite) Lettuce?
Q
Comments (8)
I'm growing greens in large stock tanks this year on a deck, so can get some free from slug and vole predations for the first time. The lettuces are perhaps too crowded to form big heads, the arugula and the baby bok choy is bolting. An unusual green I'm enjoying is Brassica juncea, Ruby Streak and Golden Frill, from Evergreen seeds. The Ruby Streak is bolting, but the Golden Frill is larger and not bolting yet. It is making long leaves with lots of frill, finely divided, so it is quite crisp, yet still tender. I'm going to have to keep trying on the lettuce. I've found that some greens like Wild Red Kale, and turnips left in the ground for spring greens, need to be planted by July 15 in order to get large enough to make it through the winter. I had some excellent bok choy one year planted in the fall, but can't seem to duplicate it. It won't make it during the winter, though. A wild green I enjoyed up until frost last year and in early spring this year is Sheep Sorrel, for a sour lemony taste.

what do you do with your razor? Washcloth?
Q
Comments (5)
I had a small space between a large window and the corner of the shower. I put in a very long skinny niche, I love it I broke it down into 4 shelves. The very top is a storage of fresh folded washcloths I can fit 5 or 6 they are high up so they never get splashed. The next shelf is Noxema, the next razors (2) the bottom is a folded white washcloth the same as in the top shelf with the bar of soap. I never have soap scum to clean up and the washcloth can be used ever few days with the sudsy build up for wash up. I have another lower long niche for shampoos and conditioner. I made it extra big so that nothing will ever have to sit on the floor. The shower is neat and organized and always looks presentable. I fabricated the niches around the existing wall studs. The whole shower is Kerdied and water tight. Bill and Mondo walked me through the whole process. Those guys are top notch.

What are your favorite parts of your pool/deck area? Just starting...b
Q
Comments (8)
I'm in CT. I used a medium gray plaster on a gunite shell, so the pool has a dark "pond water" type of look versus a bright blue water look. My pool (also 20x40) warms up quite nicely on sunshine alone. No solar cover, etc. Summer it stays in the high 80s, in a long hot spell it can turn to bath water in the low 90s. I do have a propane heater that can heat the pool and spa. I heat the spa, but haven't heated the pool since the kids went off to college. A 400k Raypak. I open the pool in April and close it in November. For heating the pool you'll want a 400k heater. Favorite simple things? I love the gray plaster and the dark subdued color of the water. I put turn tiles at each end of the pool for swimming laps. Dislike? The 3' wide ribbon of Kool Deck around the pool. I would have preferred to not have it and instead have stone coping, but for budget purposes I did the pool with the Kool Deck right away, as the kool deck was part of the pool package. Then the next year I installed the roughly 1800 sqft of stone patio, built and installed the 450' of cedar fence, and built the 16' by 40' pergola. Step by step. pool

Why does the razor vibrate? Or am I missing something here.....
jannie

I really don't know how the Venus Vibrance actually vibrates,there's a compartment in the handle for a small battery. You push an on/off button on the end and the whole thing vibrates. It's just a steady buzz,like an electric razor. You can't see anything moving. Just that the vibration feels good on the skin and I find I can get close without razor nicks. Enough information?

For me, the Venus was dangerous. I cut myself repeatedly, whined a bunch, threw the thing out, and went back to my old beloved Mach 3, which is unfailingly good to me. Yes, I know it is a man's razor, but it does great on girls too!

...another vote for the Mach3. Nothing I've tried compares.

I saw both in Consumer Reports and my local newspaper that Mach 3 is better than Quattro(4 blades) or Fusion (5 blades). These silly companies keep adding blades. . .

I've used Flicker since jr. high. It's easy to handle and rarely nicks. Has 5 blades, you just turn a little mechanism to pull up the next blade. Hard to find now---I get mine through drugstore.com

I LOVE THE INTUITION. No need of shaving creme, leaves no cuts, burns, or bumps. So easy, but so EXPENSIVE. I wish it would go down. They want $8 for 3 refills and thats at Walmart (the cheapest place around). I like it the best though.

Another vote for the Intuition. Yes, the blades are too expensive, tho.

Let's gripe about the price of the blades for these razors!
