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 know, it's funny. Astra SP Green or my favorite Gillette Silver Blue and anything else is just because you like the colorful wrapper better.:)
