How about a "badger-v-boar" commentary?
You could also throw in synths & horse, were you so inclined.

Partial quote:
here is one to coincided; " My beard is so tough that I can only get one shave from any blade"
I hear this one quite often with slight variation on the number of shaves, and I just don't buy it.
I can easily get 35-50 shaves from almost any blade. I have ever broke open the blade bank and taken out some of those first discarded blades from early in my shaving and they gave excellent shaves now that my prep and technique have improved substantially.
35-50 shaves may not be possible for everyone, indeed, but seven shaves ought be be easily obtainable for even the most dense and thick beards out there. With proper prep and technique. YMMV!
Quite true. I have used a brush and soap for over 45 years and did not have a stand until I bought a new brush in 2009.
7. I need a stand for my shaving brush to dry properly.
False. Though I can see why people may believe this.
There are several reasons why you might be persuaded to buy a brush stand
You believe the people who sell brush stands that tell you one is necessary.
You prefer the neat and tidy way that a brush stand can organize your shave den.
Brush stands are another object upon which we can satisfy our purchasing disorder.
But if you are buying a brush stand only because you think it is necessary to dry your brush properly - this myth has been debunked.
