Literally 1984

I have made the switch to a shaving razor that uses, razors. Wild I know. I had, and still possess in order to phase out (see issue #1), the harry’s brand handle with replaceable heads. I don’t think I ever used them as intended. I’d use one head for face, one head for everything else. Using the face razor for a few shaves, maybe three weeks (I shave 1 or 2 times a week. Although I notice I need to more frequently this year). Then the face head gets downgraded to the body shaver. And let them cycle through. I don’t know how long you were supposed to use them before swapping out. I’m sure I could have googled that. I’m sure the harry’s website would tell. Shit, the box might tell me. Who knows, maybe they were good for a hundred uses before needing to trash. All I know is that I would use them until I noticed they were not performing as well. And I would take this metal and plastic and toss it. Buy a new box of 4 or whatever from target, which came in carboard and plastic, and I’d trash that too.

I am aware of such available delivery/subscription services. What a load of shit. Humans weren’t meant to manage that sort of logistical bullshit and that’s how companies get away with it. The only subscription service that even remotely makes sense to me is a pet food/pet litter delivery. The fucker is gonna shit and eat about the same amount every month and it saves you a trip to smelly ass petsmart.

The waste of time, money, and resources that convenience culture has manipulated the populace into shelling out for astounds me.

And so I’ve made the switch to some other company. I can’t even remember the name. Albatross? Anyhow. Even then the razors come pre-double wrapped in paper. But, I’m going to make an order of 10,000 or something, and hopefully never buy another ‘head and handle’ ever again. And when the war with Oceania comes I’ll be the guy earning extra chocolate rations by being a razor salesmen.

Oh and I use a vegan shave bar instead of the ol cream can. Zero waste mfr.

Issue #1) No way I’m shaving my shtick and cherries with that thing. Scares the hell out of me. Still got a couple of harry’s to the job down there. Maybe I’ll get brave when I run out finally.

Issue #2) Did Hokx ever get to 100 pull-ups a day challenge?

Issue #3) Trying to get into hunting. Been a real man type this past few weeks. Hopefully next post won’t be some Meat Eater Joe Rogan type stuff.
