And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
With Gillette going all political I pulled out the German safety razor my dad gave me back in the 70's. He was military and forgot his shaving kit on a deployment to Germany. He got a new razor and gave it to me when I first started shaving in the late 70's. I have run the list with electric, disposables, and sporting a full beard.
The safety razor is now back in use. I got a 1000 Astra blades a few months back. I have a partial beard so a blade will last a month. If I keep the current setup I will be 104 when I run out of blades.
I first started removing peach fuzz in the mid to late 70's. The only real option for me then was a safety razor. I used it into marriage and through the first two kids but somewhere in the eighties I lost my way and began with the disposables. I have no idea where my original razor went. But inspired by CW I once again have a safety razor, but damn, I must have nicked myself three times that first shave. I don't remember having to be that careful back then, but it's coming back to me.
