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

On a related note: I saw an ad for Stanley -carbide- utility knife
blades. *Anyone use any yet? *What do you think?


I wonder what the point of that would be.

According to Satanley, 5x longer blade sharpness.

I haven't checked prices yet, but doubt they're cheap.
