I resemble that remark! My new to me (16year old truck) truck tires are more expensive than I was expecting (14ply vs 8-10ply).

In, Friends 
I finally finished off a bottle of witch hazel that I started back in February and also a bottle of Aqua Velva that I started back in May. Based on my current inventory, I will not need anything shave related for at least two more years.
Hi,

Honestly, my favorite was number 1. I liked him better when his role was being the dumb one. Actually, I think my favorite episode of the whole series is the first one
Hi,
Yes! The Year Of The Black Vegetable!
Er, maybe not...
Yes, Series One where they were still figuring out just what personality Blackadder would have. Started as a dummy and a coward but morphed into almost what he was in series two. And, six ways from Sunday in between.
The first episode was great with all the Shakespeare going on. Where we get King Richard the Fourth prior to Henry Tudor.
I just loved the part where his Dad the King made him Archbishop of Canterbury.
It might make for a good theme next year. I have the box set here on DVD which has all the specials as well. I'm sure it's all streaming from someone these days so we all can have it to watch.
Just remember: No shaving while laughing!
Fresh Horses!

As long as we don’t call ourselves giant turnips we should be good! 
I pulled out an old Trac II razor and some Gillette foamy today because I was in a rush. Honestly, it blows my mind how expensive more modern carts have gotten and they don’t shave me any closer than that old Trac II. But I guess if cartridges had stayed cheap I wouldn’t have ever tried DE razors.
I use my Gillette Guard on a semi regular basis. It gives amazing shaves and the cartridges are still fairly cheap, shipped from India, via eBay, in bulk.
That’s my traveling razor. I still get amazed at how efficient they are at such a low price.

Finished off my first ever shave related supply, a bottle of Thayer's Witch Hazel. (pathetic, I know )
Now on to the second bottle that has been collecting dust for over a year!

Last night’s shave
1960’s Gillette Super Speed
Gillette Nacet (3)
Tabac non-tallow
Omega 48
Last night’s shave
This was a medium speed single pass shave WTG. I really enjoy the smell of Tabac which was mug/face lathered. I think I might get rid of the remainder of my Gillette Nacet blades. Though they are sharp, I don’t find they are very smooth even on the third shave.
