Ya... only thing handy to balance the knife.
Last 3 car stereos I've bought came with remotes. The things are getting so complex now that it's easier to use the remote than the dial... durn things are no longer intuitive and it's not easy (or safe on the road) even to go to a memory preset... forget trying to manually go to a station.

One of the best shaves I ever had was at the old barber shop, with the hot towel treatment, and the whole nine yards..
If I were doing it myself I would go with:
Razor: either a Gillette Superspeed or President
Blade: Astra SP works well in both razors for me
Brush: Rubberset restore ( my only brush)
Soap: either Arko or Mitchell's
Prep: would be a hot shower
Post shave: Alum block, and maybe some Thayer's witch hazel

This struck me as the perfect answer. My grandfather was a wetshaver. Even though my dad only used an electric, I'd do anything to watch him shave again!
