The chain jerking continues.

Holiday weekend coming up ... gotta get a little gouging in.



Speaking of gouging, has anyone noticed the games Gillette is playing
with their blades. No more Atra--but plenty of $3+ cartridges in the
stores. I wrote them a letter sharing with them know how I felt about
it. No response yet. LOL.

Do what I did, I quite shaving in 1985, so far so good.

I kicked the habit in '93.

I do own a razor but I have no idea if you can get double
edge blades anymore.

I bought some a couple years ago for a razor knife. Of course, anything can
be found on the Internet. ;-)

Thanks for the link. What you say may be true, but Amazon is out of the
Personna blades that Gillette made for sale in other countries--where
people won't pay the new "stupid" prices (count me in, too). I think the
blades I named are about the same as the store-brand blades that fit
Atra. I think people have been stocking up. At Amazon, it says they are
now out of stock and not sure whether they will get more.

In my message to Gillette, I mentioned that I hoped their decision would
hurt their bottom line. I just want to help make sure people are aware
of what is going on and do anything I can do to help! : )
