Accidentally Leveling-Up a Co-worker

**baquah** · 05-01-2012, 12:44 PM

A few weeks ago, my office mate showed me the Dollar Shave Club video. While entertaining, I figured my blades were about the same price and sharper, so when he mentioned owning a DE, I offered to bring him a Feather. I finally remembered to do so yesterday, and this morning was interrogated about where I found such a wonderful blade, what soaps might work well for sensitive skin. After lunch, it was "Should I get a beechwood or mahogany bowl for my D.R. Harris?".

I think he's done for; it only cost me $0.40 or so.

In my vintage Catholic prayer book, regarding examining one's conscience, the question is posed, "Did you ruin an innocent person?"

Good luck to that poor soul.

These blogs are evil. First I got RAD, then HAD.

Now I catch myself surfing Ebay for fountain pens.

Nice. In the great hereafter you will get to sit at the lunch table with King Gillette.

Many, such as myself, figure that this old school shaving thing has got to be difficult, awful and bloody or there never would have been a market for cartridge razor shaving systems. Once you get us to try DE shaving and we find that isn't the case we're suddently interested. Throw in the old gag about "You'll save a ton of money" and we can't resist.
