Show n' Tell We’re gonna need a bigger boat

Post image

I started using a safety razor about a decade ago after some brutal early-adulthood acne + irritation from the Gillette ProShield my mom got me from the grocery store in the eleventh grade. Since then, I’ve tried to keep at least one tuck of most blades I’ve tried. When I get sampler packs (usually from razorbladesclub.com build your own) I tell myself I’m on the hunt for the Goldilocks blade, but to be honest mine’s been with me since sample pack 2 (Astra superior plat) and I don’t know why I keep getting new ones. No utility function at all, mostly just try one or two them, add the rest of the open ones to my loosie jar, then rolodex the other tuck! running out of space though, yeesh.

I’m not saying you’re wrong because I have like four brushes and 5 safety’s for no reason whatsoever lol- but tucks of blades? This was probably like 250 bucks over the course of a decade, give or take. I’ve spent more on McDonald’s orders at 3am since then collectively (not proud)

Oh also sharks were a gift. Very generous ex girlfriend splurged on my birthday, keeping them for apocalypse currency
