INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Salt from your skin will corrode your razor blade, causing it to dull faster. Don't stop at simply rinsing the blade, give it a good scrubbing. Using an old toothbrush, simply scrub across the blade a few times to clean away any leftover skin and hair, before rinsing it in water again. The quickest way to wear a razor blade is to let it rust. When water causes the metal blade to oxidize, tiny particles of rust form on it. You may not be able to see them, but those particles corrode the blade, dulling it. Additionally, in hard water areas, letting the water dry onto the blade leaves behind scratchy crystals which prevent you getting a close shave. Pat the razor dry on a towel to remove loose water droplets. Be sure you don't wipe it with the towel, because the blade will likely catch on the threads, dulling the blade. Dip the razor into a dish of rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will cause any remaining water to evaporate when it hits the air. As an added bonus, it also sanitizes the blade. You will defeat the purpose of drying your razor if you then stick it back in the humid shower or next to the sink where it will be splashed with water. Store the razor in a dry location away from either possibility or keep it in a resealable plastic bag. You can even set it in a cup with leftover beads of silicon gel - the kind that come in those little square packages - in the bottom or store it in your freezer between uses.

SUMMARY: Clean the razor after each use. Dry your razor thoroughly after each use. Store the razor in a dry place.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Crobat evolves from Golbat. You can either catch a Golbat, or you can catch a Zubat and raise it to level 22. This will cause it to evolve into Golbat. You can raise a Zubat to level 22 by battling with it, or by giving it Rare Candy. Zubat can be caught at Altering Cave, Cave of Origin, Granite Cave, Victory Road, Meteor Falls, Seafloor Cavern, and Shoal Cave. Golbats can be caught at Cave of Origin, Shoal Cave, Sky Pillar, Meteor Falls, Seafloor Cavern, and Victory Road. You'll need to reach a high Friendship level to evolve Golbat into Crobat. See the section below for details on raising your Golbat's Friendship. You can check your Friendship level with Golbat by visiting the woman in the house in the lower-left corner of Verdanturf Town. When you talk to the woman with Golbat as the first Pokemon in your party, she'll let you know how your Friendship rates. Below are the lines you should look out for (Golbat will evolve at 220 Friendship): 150-199 - "It likes you quite a lot. It seems to want to be babied a little." 200-254 - "It seems to be very happy. It obviously likes you a whole lot." 255 - "It adores you. It can't possibly love you any more. I even feel happy seeing it." Once you think you have 220 Friendship points, have Golbat gain a level. You can do this through combat or by using a Rare Candy. If Golbat has 220+ Friendship, it will evolve to Crobat. The friendship rating lady will not tell you when you've reached exactly 220. You'll have to guess based on what she says and what you've done since then. Zubats and Golbats caught in the wild will start with a 70 Friendship rating.

SUMMARY: Obtain a Golbat. Raise your Golbat's Friendship level. Check your Friendship level. Level up Golbat after reaching 220 Friendship points.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Normally, glass etching involves the use a fairly powerful acid to cut or burn an image into glass. In this particular context, it will be used to burn off the exterior layer of the glasses. You will need: A glass etching substance. A brand known as Armor Etch produces one popular variety of the material, but there are others as well. High quality rubber gloves to protect your hands. Cotton swabs or some other material to use for applying the substance to the glasses. Do not rub the substance in, but merely apply it to the surface. Because of the strength of the acid in glass etching substances, you must work quickly. Only apply enough of the substance to cover the lens. Again, etching solution contains powerful acids. Over-exposure to these acids will likely damage the lenses. Use water to wash off the etching substance, unless the instructions call for alternatives. Wash thoroughly to guarantee that no residue from the substance remains. Use this to wipe and dry the lens, again using only side-to-side motions.

SUMMARY:
Purchase the necessary materials. Apply the glass etching substance using the cotton swabs. Let the substance remain on the lenses for no more than 5 minutes. Wash off the etching substance. Clean the glasses using a microfiber cloth.
