Underarm shaver checking in. It's helped enormously.

Serious? I dont sweat much but armpits is the one that gets me all the time. Will invest in this option

 

[Dylan8]

Body hair is old hat. Word up to armpit hair trimmers.

Due to the precedence of the Caro saga, does this mean whenever someone jokes about me, I can call them a racist?

Don't think so Bruce Lee.

Were your underarms especially hairy, or would you say average? Would say mine are average, but interesting to know. You sweat much less most definitely?

 

[Cruyff14]

Anybody got a good recommendation for in earphones or headphones? Mine broke last night and I am currently stuck with the shitty iPhone ones.

Was thinking of Beats - does anybody have them/used them in the past?

 

[dales.girl38]

Beats are shit.

Average.

I sweat less, but it's more that there isn't hair there for smells to get trapped in.

Average.

I don't think I smell too bad for the most part, unless of course I smell my underarm directly. But I don't have a stench coming from me.

Might give it a shot.

 

[Doss]

Yeah neither did I, but still.

My view is that underarm hair is almost in the appendix class of things we just really don't need.

 

[Gough]

I'll see your underarm hair, and raise you shoulder hair.

I just use the current iPhone ones.

You can purchase them for 50 to 60 bucks.

If you want something for better value but shitter quality, get something for 20 or 30 dollars from JB Hifi

Any males sweat a lot?

I sweat heaps under my arms and was considering shaving them, but I am unsure if this will fix the problem.

I sweat like a pig, gotten even worse since I lost a lot of weight to be honest, thought it would go the other way around.

Does it make your shoulders sweat?

They are shocking. Hate them.

I've got the Bose QC20's and theyre awesome.

Price? Pros/cons?

Been looking at Bose stuff online, they seem a winner and something I will most likely buy.

They're actually the QC25's, and they're great. Paid about $350 from memory. In saying this I'm not an expert at all, they're pretty much the first pair of headphones I bought that didn't come with the device. Noise cancelling works a treat and sound quality is great.

 

[dales.girl38]

I'm very unqualified, just find Beats very overpriced for what they are - Bose seem to be the best.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Audio Technica ATH-M50s

Not overly expensive, sound great and thus are probably the most popular mid-priced headphone amongst your audiophile crowd (which is a real thing...).

AIAIAI TMA-2s

Can be broken down into individual pieces in a minute or two and you can choose different options like headband, wire, etc on their website. Massive advantage as usually the wire is the first thing to go on headphones so you can easily detach it and replace it rather than the whole headphones being kaput. Ditto any other part on it, so its life post-warranty is massive - lifetime basically. Great sound, probably more electronic oriented but I find rock good on them. And they're comfortable. I wear them at home and on my 2 hour commutes to uni no fuss.

Base price is like 220 bucks, the set I got was about 260.

 

[James_Blues]

Wired?

Yes they have a wire running from the headphone to the phone.

Bose have just released their newest QC model, the QC35 which is a wireless noise cancelling headphone. I'm not sure of their quality, though based on my previous experience with Bose, all of their stuff is great.

When you rock up in the UK as a visitor, what is the VISA you get given?

I assumed it would be the standard visitor visa - https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa/overview - but according to that page that VISA costs 87 pounds. I've never paid a cent for any tourist VISA's into the UK so I don't think that's the VISA you get given.

Entering on an Australian passport, none. Visiting for tourism is visa-free entry for Australians (and I think all Commonwealth and - for now, EU - nations; plus other selected nations).

How should I name an email address?

I guess I should have some aspect of my name in it, but not fully? Please advise.

 

[Quivorir]

My serious one is my full name (resumes, bank etc..). Then I have others that I use for shit like bigfooty and trolling etc.
