 Idle Thought: Without the internet we could never had had such modern wonders as $2,000 office chairs and $150 blade razors.

What's with spiffy razor blades? About 30 years ago, I bought a bag of 100 Wilkinson Sword double blade disposable razors for maybe $15 at BJs. I'm almost out now. Really nice disposable razors. I have a pretty average beard and a razor lasts me weeks. You can still get a bag of 200 razors just like them at Amazon for $35 and I just don't believe fancy razors shave any better at all.

Spiffy razor blades have to be the ultimate men's cosmetics advertising sucker punch.
