Razor: Band Razor Shootout - Gillette Versus Schick

Here is a post from BBS I believe, as it refers to writing the Dummies guides, and it delves into the history of the band razors.

I want to say it was Apollo 11 or 12 that had the Gillette Techmatic and a tube of brushless cream. I believe the goal was no water and no fumbling with blades in weightlessness! Dodging snot or worse was an issue during flights, if an astronaut took ill while in-flight.

Here are some more interesting stuff for space buffs!

Shaving while on a space mission shows integrity, character and a strong belief in maintaining high standards. And he probably didn’t want to interrupt his impressive consecutive daily shaving record. Like someone else we know! Smile

Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,461


Today I was going to mark my since keeping track, 4 years wthout missing a shave. 4 years would include a leap year so 365 x 4 + 1 = 1,461. I had hoped to use some of my favorite equipment and do a video. On Friday afternoon my Dad (Stepdad but more a father than my father was) had an accident. He has relied on machines and medicine to keep him alive while sedated. At 84 with all the physical injuries even if he pulled thru it would likely not end well. His brain hemmorages are progressing and due to location are inoperable. They do not expect him to make it thru and the decision to let nature take it's course has been decided by the family and will be passed on to the staff today. I tried to do as intended for my shave but as I stood andwas selecting what to use my heart was not in it and I selected yesterdays exact same setup. Sorry to be a downer but today took everything to power thru and shave....no pic or video. This one was for you Dad........HUG your loved ones tight today !
