When's the last time you ate a salad?
| I've got maybe 80 Voshkod and 80 Astra's, with like 150 Israeli Gillette's. That'll hold me for a while. I've also got a bunch of straights and sharpening stones, so that'll hold me the rest of my life expectancy (and I can gift the straights, a few over 100 years old) to my next generation for satisfying shaving. |

I have at least a thousand feathers in a dry box while I use up the gillettes. |

I bought a bunch of Voskhods during round 1 of the Russian sanctions in 2018 or 2019 and I still have a bunch, I only switch them out when I get bored with my Personna lab blues. Honestly the best Russian blades I ever used were either the Wizamet or Polsilver super iridiums. |

Israeli, or even US, made Personas...better blades. Astras, even Rockwells last longer. Real Crystals, of which I have a hoard of maybe 500...8-10 minimum of excellent shaves per blade. |

I panic bought a couple hundred at the first of the Ukraine thing. ETA - I was going to leave it alone, but must add that I'm glad Feathers are so great for some. However, I get like one OK face and head shave with them before they go to crap. Not worth it for my razors, technique, skin, and dollar.... |

| I had some old Astras that were great and last me a while. The newer box is a Russia made Astra and they are two steps above shaving with a sharpened spoon. Terrible. |

lol, no. I have a lifetime supply of Gillette I have not bought blades in at least seven years.
|
The only hyphenated names I like are cartridge names......30-06, 30-40, 38-55 etc.
|
I've still got some Voshkod. I recently bought some Treet 7 days, they're really good. I should give feathers another try. I used the same razor setting as voshkod and they cut me up. I should try a less aggressive setting. |
I know I'll never go home.
So set fire to your ships, and past regrets, and be free.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.
