Perhaps an 'exercise book'? But I suppose that's not so different from 'work book'.

"Label" for the name of tag, "exercise book" for name of book.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

Provided that it is completely handwritten, you might want call the book a manuscript.

As for the tag, you might want to call it a nameplate.

Problem is, the word "nameplate" is a fairly modern term used in desktop publishing, whereas "manuscripts" have been around since humans started recording information in written form. So, it might be a bit anachronistic to use both words together.

With a strong but thin enough steel plate/ruler, you can lever out the lock with the latch which only has a single lock function through the gap between the door and the frame.

The double locking mechanism makes that impossible to undo the lock and the latch at the same time.

Is there a way to get rid of my facial hair without having to shave again? I waste about 15 minutes every morning trying to get that annoying moustache off without cutting myself with the damn razor.

(Goodness, I sound like a lolicon-ish Santa.)

There are facial depilatories (boy that's an awkward word). But I haven't tried any yet -- yeah, for me after a few decades of shaving, I'd really rather have something I could slap on and wash off. By my wife's analysis, I should shave twice a day to avoid stubble :P

You're still young. The rate of growth will increase as you get older.

Cheers.

You will know how annoying it is when your timetable is so cramped. Manly or not, it doesn't have any real value......it is a total annoyance for me during the past 3-4 years.

You could try growing one like the techno viking.

15 minutes? Sounds like you're doing it wrong. I admit that even after all these years of shaving daily or every other day (because in research, nobody really cares how unshaven you are) I still come away with a number of cuts, but they're never very deep. They're the type that can leave an annoying red mark that makes it obvious that you've cut yourself, but I discovered that if you keep something like tissue or toilet paper over them for ~10 minutes, then when you peel it off it'll look as though you were never bleeding in the first place. If your face is damp then it'll stay fixed to your face and you don't have to hold it there.

What razors are you using? I'm using the Gillette Mach 3; I use Gillette or Edge shaving cream, doesn't make a big difference. Gillette sent me a free Fusion, and I've tested it but don't find it to be particularly beneficial. It does hug your face a bit tighter, but I still occasionally cut myself with it (the small bleeds, nothing deep or major). If the Fusion blades cost the same as the Mach 3 blades did then I'd probably switch over to it, but otherwise the Mach 3 works well enough for me.

I agree with Ledgem.. 15 minutes to shave a 'stache off? I've had a 2 inch long beard which only took 20 minutes to get shaven clean off ( albeit with the help of an electric razor at first - wasn't too efficient to try and tackle the beard head on with a razor)..still.. unless youre shaving with a butter knife, something is being done wrong

I'm also a believer that if possible, a guy should grow out a grand beard at least once; preferrably in college, cos the chance is probably not going to come back till you have kiddies

How all Chinese boys wish they would look with a full-grown beard:


How most of them end up looking instead:



So... facial hair for me? No thank you. Although, I do let my stubble grow out over weekends. As long as it's not more than two-days old, it does give me sort of a macho-looking five-o-clock shadow.

Sounds like you used a blunt razor blade. A sharp razor blade cuts a lot more smoothly and is unlikely to cut the skin, especially when you're using it with shaving cream or gel.

When I change for a new razor blade (blade is at its sharpest) is when I risk giving myself the worst cuts, actually. I tend to shave against the grain, and if I don't have a decent amount of hair for the blade to go through then I end up with cuts. If I don't press it to my face in the manner that I do then the risk of cuts is greatly diminished, but then it just looks like I have the facial hair shadow. My cuts aren't really cut-cuts; I can never see any visible breaks in the skin, just the little red dots of blood that heal within 10 minutes.
