I've got an ancient "Injector Blade" razor I use. One blade on a sturdy handle. The refiller holds 15 blades in a package about the size of ONE multiblade cartridge. I did try one of the multiblades once, not any better results. Disposables??? What about all that plastic that gets thrown out???
I've been thinking the next BIG thing should be like a miniature Cheese Grater with hundreds of tiny blades! (If you patent it, I want credit;-)
Elemental mercury, like you roll around in your hand is harmless.
It cannot be absorbed by the body. Where is gets toxic is when it is vaporized by heating,
made into mercury oxide, etc. only then will it be absorbed into the body.
Same with lead, a 50lb hunk of lead is harmless, unless you drop it on your toe.
Lead oxide in paint is toxic because it can be absorbed through inhaling sanding dust
or eating paint chips. If you ate a fishing weight, it would just pass harmlessly through your system. (unless it came out sideways!)
So the "Mercury Hysteria" over liquid mercury is unfounded, based on ignorance.
This cracked me up for a minute or two!
"Some shops, for example, use "zit lamps," which drive teenagers away by casting a blue light onto their spotty skin, accentuating any whiteheads and other blemishes."
