On Expensive Razors . . .

There's beauty in frugality as well as in spending money on something you find valuable.
The important thing is finding yourself funny. My wife and daughter are a tough, and perhaps tasteful, crowd, so I've learned to laugh at myself.
Lol so true. I always try to make the most Dad jokes possible and my daughter rates them. I feel really lucky for having great (if not always easy) relationships with my kids.
You're right. I carry a Victorinox on my keychain.
slapo, thank you for your response. you are my 3000 response to my entries.
A gentleman isn't determined by the color of his collar. A gentleman isn't determined by what's in his wallet. A gentleman is determined by how he faces adversity.
What is more fascinating. Some dude shaving with his S1000.00 dollar razor ? Or some Indian shaving with his cheap razor squatting over a glass of water. Actually both. I want to hear from both of you.
You may have missed the mark
. Knowing that you had a law practice, I am reading this as humour!!I think to keep your resolution it would have read:
No thanks and all, but I said exactly what I intendedYou may have missed the mark
I think to keep your resolution it would have read:
You cannot (perhaps shouldn't is a better term) confuse value and price. Knowing the difference is where the idea of "priceless" originates. I just recently acquired a Carbon Shaving Cx-Mokume (more $$ than Tedalus) that I "value" less than the Tedalus - but that is a gestalt perspective. The utility of the Tedalus versus the beauty of the Mokume. If for some reason I had to quit shaving (maybe ALS), that relationship would then flip. Likewise, from a different perspective, in different situations, I can value my $65 Everyday Shaving Stinger as much as the Tedalus (as a travel razor). If I was told I could only use one razor for the rest of my life, it would likely be My Merkur Futur or Yaqi Ultima Adjustable. If the SHTF, I've put my 3d printed DE in my go bag (and a round of Glyce, 50 Dorco Titans - always look good 
).

Got to test drive a Lambo circa 1970 at Vasek Polok. Uncomfortable, noisy, and never got out of second in city traffic. I still admire supercars but would not have one even if I had immense wealth. A neighbor drives a Lambo SUV. It lacks the visual allure of a Countach, even if it is more practical. My 2008 Mini S convertible still tics all my automotive boxes.
Excellent - I feel better now.
