If you want a cup of hot tea but there is no electric kettle, this handmade boiling device can save your day. Simply stick 2 open wires (with a plug!) to each of the razors, then put them together using matches. And now you can enjoy your tea. CAUTION: this must be done with prior extensive research on how to make such a device.
