Back in time....

Last night I went back in time, no Delorean, no 88 MPH, no flux capacitor. 

Since getting out of the Air force I've always had some sort of facial hair. First it was a bushy beard, then a goatee and my latest experiment a mustache that extends to the bottom of my jaw.  All of these require a certain degree of shaving.

If you've shopped for razors you know anymore everything is "disposable." and is not cheap. They still have the single blade Bic, usually good for one use if that, some other styles and features- four or five blades, replaceable  blades, ones that require batteries, have a single blade on the back for "fine trimming" and of course another trend is the moisturizing strip.  Finding a good razor to me can be a chore, but I do like a good shave when I do. I've even found a barber who will shave the back of my neck with a straight razor.

Tired of pouring over the many disposable razors, I'd decided it was time to go back to the double edged safety razor.  You can find the blades almost everywhere, but finding a razor itself is almost unheard of. I'm spoiled in some ways, I could have ordered a safety razor online, but I would rather wait to find one in a store so I could have it now. So after thinking a bit and looking online, last night I went back in time. During my online search I'd found a store would be opening soon at Polaris, "The Art of shaving" Call me narrow minded but I was just a shade hesitant to go in, it had the "boutique" look much to fancy for me, but after handing over several Jeffersons I walked out with a safety razor and 10 blades. Hopefully this will give me a great shave and end the battle of which throw away to buy.
