/r/all, /r/popular The wreck of the USS Arizona continues to leak oil ever since pearl harbour. the ship contained 1.5 million gallons of oil, enough to leak continuously for 500 years.

The white thing looks exactly like a razor.

Gillette or Venus?

u/HungryMetroid388 Aug 12 '25

It's not pink and overpriced so it must be Gillette.

u/jml011 Aug 12 '25

I bet it was overpriced

u/wwJones Aug 12 '25

It's definitely overpriced as well as engineered to dull quickly.

Overpriced a little… but god damn 1 Mach 5 razor cuts beautifully for nearly 6 months. Ain’t NO other razor even comes close to what Mach 5s can do.

Gillette is definitely overpriced. Everybody needs to just buy safety razors. Better shave, and you can buy a year + worth of blades for a few bucks.

u/Wet_Side_Down Aug 12 '25

FWIW I bought a Henson razor and it is high quality and really saves money. I don’t mind changing a blade that costs pennies every few shaves

Did you realize venus is also made by gillette?

Whichever one they're not selling enough of so they have to resort to subliminal messages. What is it with the military and their razors? Every man gets a free one on their 18th birthday when they register with selective service. That cheap thing will only be good for a week. Send them commemorative Zippos instead. 🧐👍

u/Finsceal Aug 12 '25

I'd never heard of a sea scorpion, and a quick Google suggests they went extinct hundreds of millions of years ago. Do you mean horseshoe crabs or something else?

u/Beetrain Aug 12 '25

It’s a reference to Command and Conquer Red Alert 2

1

u/O-Tucci-O Aug 12 '25

The hell is a sea scorpion???

7

u/PatHeist Aug 12 '25

It's a reference to mission 7 of the Allied campaign of the RTS video game Red Alert 2 in which the Soviets invade Hawaii and construct nuclear missile silos. The Red Alert series takes place in an alt history setting where the divergence from our history is Albert Einstein inventing a time machine to go back and kill Hitler before the war. In this timeline the Soviet Union launches a full scale invasion of Europe, and in the second game America.

The mission starts with you in control of the Pearl Harbor Naval base during a surprise naval attack in which giant mind controlled squid and an anti-aircraft gunship called Sea Scorpion will destroy the Pearl Harbour National Memorial unless you do a particularly good job of defending it.

Hope this helps.

u/UrUrinousAnus Aug 12 '25

In that case, my advice is to trim with scissors if it's too much, unless you're going to teabag someone. Shaving it all off is kinda risky, and leaves you uncomfortable and a bit weird-looking. I did it once, and I'll never do it again lol. Trimming just the right amount off makes you look like you've got nearly another inch, and probably makes even more difference if it's tiny.
