Re: Last Post Wins
During the week when I’m trying to get ready for work it’s two Starbucks Sumatra in the Keurig but on the weekend I do like to get the French press out with some freshly ground beans. It makes the best coffee in my book and if it wasn’t such a pain to clean I would use it every day.

Only 15 a year!
I am reordering razor blades for my safety razor. Now, I do not necessarily shave everyday. I also have two electric razors. I also travel semi-frequently, and when I am away from home, I either use a disposable or bring a one blade with me.
So I really don't know how often I actually shave with a safety razor.
But I do know this. Almost 7 years ago I purchased a pack of 100. I have a couple of blades left and was reordering. So I'm using about 15 of them a year.
The blades I use are about $10 for 100, or about 10 cents each. So my razor blade usage is about $1.50 per year.
I typically use shaving oil, or a shaving cream, but they last forever, so the price for that is fairly negligible. It's probably more than the razor blades, though.

Re: Last Post Wins
Darrell, you still using the Astra blades?
I was going to resurrect our old shaving thread b/c I love my old school shaving world. I use the Astra blades, have a Mercur razor, but I wanted to recommend a GREAT soap.
I'm using "Cella", which is Italian. Don't tell PETA but IMO the reason it is so good is that it's based on tallow. It's also super reasonable in the "refill" size.
Between the Mercur razor I have used for many years, and the cost of the blades and this soap, I spend almost nothing on shaving. I do use exclusively this to shave, but don't shave every single day, say 5 maybe a week, maybe 5.5, and I get about 6-7 shaves out of one blade, so 0.08 per blade, maybe 50 blades a year, plus 10 or so worth of soap a year, so I'm probably just under or around 15 a year or so, shaving most of the time with just this system.Last edited by CitizenBBN; 03-28-2024 at 06:11 PM.

Yes sir, it is still the Astra blades. I'm happy with them.
I will check out that soap. I tend to get in a hurry and use shave oil commonly, but it's a real treat for the shaving soap, and especially a good one.

Re: Last Post Wins
I really like it. I put a chunk of it in a sealed container (tupperware in fact) and it lasts forever.
I liked one that I had first tried that came in a tube, but this is less expensive by far, lasts longer, and the other one the tubes tended to fail over time.
It's a stupid cheap way to shave, and a great shave.
Next I'm going to try a straight razor and strop. Even cheaper, and that risk of slitting your arteries will help wake you up, saving on coffee.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

Lol. I like everything except the straight razor. I'm happy with the safety razor. It's close enough to cave man to suit me. I get it, though. There is that appeal. I also love working with primitive tools, though. I'm a weird combination of Luddite and tech wannabe.

You’ll want to have a can of wasp and hornet spray on hand just in case an European hornet gets in your house somehow. Those sob’s are huge.

Son graduated college Saturday. Headed to Ole Miss for grad school. Made him promise before he accepted that he'd wear all UK gear to Ole Miss v. Kentucky games on campus. He did.

Re: Last Post Wins
I have to say that i never expected to chase a coyote while mowing the grass, yet there I was today, mowing away (a riding mower) when I saw something in the woods and found a coyote. I drove closer to it and it went into tge woods, but a while later, on the other side of the yard, I came around a curve, and there he was again. It was pretty small, but light brown colored (almost like a deer) with a white throat. I looked at it trying to see what I could spot and it just walked on, occasionally glancing at me, just like a dog would. It did sort of resemble a small German Shepard with the shape of its face snd its color, but it walked with its mouth open like a friendly dog would. He really didn’t act scared of me or the lawnmower.
It turned into another section of woods and I didn’t see it again.
I knew they were around here (we occasionally hear them at night) but this was the middle of the day.
I can confirm there was no roadrunner in view
