re: razors
My GF (at the time) bought me a safety razor for Xmas 2010. It rocks. Great close shave, blades are cheap enough that you can toss them after 3 shaves (I get 6-10 shaves per blade). Really, check this: 100 blades, $15. The handle for the blade will set you back about $30 I think. Shaving soap and a brush should run you about $25. So the whole setup will be about $75 for the first year. Expensive for sure -- but the second year you're looking at $25 or so for the whole damn year. And all stuff you can get on Amazon so there's no waiting for the razors to go on sale or remembering what type of blade you need to buy.
Plus, fuck those guys at Gillette or Bic or whatever. The process of cutting hair has been the same for ummm, ever, so it's not like they have some new advance in shaving that justifies the price. The whole fancy-blade-razor thing is just a way to separate you from your money. Get past it and go old school.
