But you did that by choice. There is a huge difference between spending money on shaving gear because you choose to and doing so because you have no alternative. Traditional shaving gear gives you that freedom of choice, cartridge razors generally do not.

That must be "new", or sometimes called "gambler', math. The end result is the same in the debit sector. Wink That said, there are far, far more expensive hobbies, e.g., fishing boats, expensive shotguns, high falutin' girlfriends, etc., that a man could have. I have found that it is sometimes best to clean out the wet shaving gear that you are not using or don't like to keep a lid on things getting out of hand as well as to fund new purchases. Big Grin

Secretary Ramsey put his foot into it yesterday . . . in the course of his remarks he said that California “needs water and better society.”  “So does h-ll,” yelled someone in the crowd.

I’ve also heard people who’ve got more than enough say this. They’re not giving any of it away though.
