If you have to do something...

Gear, you're good enough. You're smart enough. And gosh darn it, you're worth good shaves.

These Feather AC blades are just so inconsistent sometimes in longevity!

 

[Graybeard57]

This blade just has to limp on through tomorrow’s shave, then it’ll be swapped out.

Nothing quite as satisfying as shaving with a blade that’s clearly past its prime!

Gear, you're good enough. You're smart enough. And gosh darn it, you're worth good shaves.

Dave’s right. You owe it to yourself, and to your colleagues and clients, to experience the best possible shave available!

Hang on.....I thought we were all trying to figure out what that is. Or wouldn't this site become less engaging if we all knew what the BEST possible shave was?

The best possible shave that you can have is the one you give yourself every day because we have the opportunity and the freedom to do so

Just put some silk toilet paper on that nick, and you'll look great!

You can regale the crowd with tales of straight razor shaving. Women dig scars, so be careful to go home with Mrs Gear only.

Oops, that should be 49F

Worried I might be missing out on this I of course did my research. There is no silk TP, though if you're into sustainability there is bamboo fiber TP. I did find this though.
