This is a test of age and memory.
Do you remember Howard Cosell... The Friday Night Fights... Jim McKay... The Wide World of Sports... and the lead-in commercials?
"To look sharp...To Feel Sharp.... Use Gillette Blue Blades, for the quickest slickest shave of all."
Blue Blades - in a thumb operated dispenser of ten blades that usually cost about $1.00.
..................................................................................................
Yesterday, I returned to WalMart for replacement blades for my Pro-Glide 5... or Gillette fusion or whatever... doesn't matter... Teeth gritted to have to pay $4 for a few lousy blades... Aaargh!... No More...
No two packs or four packs... One Choice... A ten Pack... for $31.42
Is this a sign of the times?
Do Warren Buffet and Bill Gates buy their own razor blades?
Sooo... Do you, or DH use razor or shaver or lead the way to the coming bearded revolution?
Estimates are that 2 Billion blades are discarded each year in the U.S.
How many blades are best (in a single razor head)... 1? 2? 3? 4? 5? more?
How many shaves/blade?
In an attempt at revolt, have pruchased a package of 20 disposable "Personna" twin bladers at Big Lots.... for $1.90. Aside from occasional nicks (cost of toilet paper blood clotters has to be added to cost)... they offer a pretty close shave.
Maybe this doesn't belong here, but after that GREAT response to the dental floss thread, am thinking that this part of personal hygiene deserves some discussion.
Am wondering how my avatar would look with a beard.
