Um, I don't horde, I just believe in being prepared that's all. 
I mean, so what if I have enough (DE & SE) blades to last me the next 8 years or so, right?

That WSJ article sure is making the rounds this week!
Well, it seems the Wall Street Journal article struck a cord.

Yeah...me too...why am I thinking about buying the IRP factory then?
is this why WCS is out of the Red Pack Personnas? I wanted to buy another 100 pk but they were out 
I met a gentleman yesterday while traveling who told me he has over 2,000 DE blades that he has bought over the past year!
Presently I have 2,170 Astra blades.
The reason is simple, I want to be clean shaven in the Post Nuclear War world.

Yes, but where will you get the soap and the non-radioactive water?

Did anyone read the comments?
This one caught my attention :
"Gillette Mach 3. I can easily shave without any shaving cream with that thing. Don't recall trying any other type of razor that has been as comfortable."

Either he has no feeling in his skin or is pulling our leg. Regardless, this is not be considered a typical reaction when shaving with a Mach 3 without lather. Dry shaving is hard on you and the blade.Did anyone read the comments?

In my late teens, when I worked retail, I kept a fistful of goodnews razors in the back room, for dry shaving... completely dry. At the time, my beard was not full, or anywhere near as thick and coarse as it is now. It worked. It's not nearly as comfortable as a nice wet shave, but you learn to live with it.

I would dry shave when I was out partying too hard to shave before work.
Grab the bic disposables from my desk, head to the bathroom and let er rip.
Id feel some tugging, but it actually wasnt too bad.

In the bad old days when I was driving an ambulance, I would sometimes have to freshen up in a Seven-Eleven restroom with liquid hand soap and the disposable razors we used to shave peoples chests before we shocked them. Terrible shave. But, it would get me through the rest of the shift. 
If Feathers ever get discontinued...watch me hoard!
