(Noxema’s “Take it all off” commercial)
Works for me:
1. Wash with Ivory soap
2. Noxema Medicated “Sensitive Skin” (red can)
3. Shick “ST2 Slim Twin” plastic razors (one lasts me weeks!)
But I’m a 100% natural blonde and couldn’t grow a full beard if I wanted to.
Aside: regardless of what safety razors have done for men, think of what they’ve done for -women-, that simply wasn’t possible 100 years ago! Viva le technology!
Yes, I’ve experienced the unexpected shower of rusty razor blades on our old house.
Your senses become amazingly accute all of a sudden when you realize what is happening. Luckily they’re so lightweight that I didn’t even get a scratch, but it sure is an interesting experience.
Our medicine cabinet had a slit in it. Always wondered what it was for until I did the remodelling on the other side of the wall.
The multiblade razors really work. Much less irritating, I think because the pressure of the razor against your face is divided by the number of blades. It makes it so no single blade can dig into you.
For me, the multiblades were always worse than the electrics.
The gave me a close shave, but the ingrown hairs weren’t worth it. Tried them off and on over the years, but I never tried the single-edge safety razor until recently and won’t go back to multis or electric.
By cleaning it thouroughly (and having very fine hair) I have used the same electric shaver blades for six years.
I went to a Gillette 4_blade because the weight of the razor and head allows you to put more pressure on your face and get a closer shave in one pass - for me. Their 3-blade head was on a spring hinge and I could never keep it as close as I wanted to my skin.
Yeah I went to a gillete 4-blade from a Mach 3 too. Better pressure control across the skin.
If you dry it off it lasts for months.
I take a hammer, beat the hairs back into my face, and bite them off from the inside. That’s how a real man does it.
OK, that’s funny right there!
I ran into him at Costco some years ago. It was an off time, very few people in the store, and for some reason I was walking “in” the main “out” aisle. I look up, and there he is heading towards me.
I just point and say something like “I knew this place was a bargain, and you being here confirms it!”, to which he replied “But you’ve still got to check the prices!”
Just 100% quintessentially Clark!
I later met him at a convention. I was wearing an Audi hat, and we had a pretty good talk about German cars and value. I make it work by buying used and doing my own maintenance, which isn’t possible for most, and which he found interesting but not necessarily applicable to the masses. It was obvious that he is always looking around, learning about things that help out with his areas of expertise in any way he can.
