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. 
 @f884fa2b Trump is singularly evil because he is not merely a sociopath but stupid and profoundly ignorant. There is no internal or external constraints on him. He is so cognitively impaired that he is on one hand, totally other-directed, since he is incapable of planning anything for himself, and on the other hand completely dependent on others to fulfill his childish wants and needs. His lawyers are literally destroying the US judicial system to make Trump happy - and make a ton of money. 
 We have unindicted traitorous criminals roaming the halls of the Senate.

Not be argumentative, because I think 75% of white Americans are the most selfish, self-absorbed, inconsiderate, socially and civically irresponsible people in the world, but when people were masking up, 2020-21, it seemed that in bus/subway scenes, store scenes or street gatherings on TV half the white people would be masked up and NONE of the Black people (or even Latinos) would be. I usually agree with your badmouthing white people, but I think you're missing the mark here.
