I never had to shave much as a youth, but I do recall those razors & blades that my dad used thought the cimic character was an Advertisement Silver Gillette razor blades.Times have changed but I find the cheaper single disposable ones the least painful and the twin varity are perhaps worse than those used by dear old dad in his day. Have you ever used hair conditioner as a substitute for shaving cream/ I use it guite often as regular foam shaving cream can dry out the skin and cause severe dryness & flaking.Are there ant other strange people like me out there I wonder? ;-)
