  • I know someone in the same line of business and she tells me about some of the more… colourful guys she has encountered. Some of them real creeps.

    But she also mostly keeps to her regulars these days, she is doing pretty well for herself and chooses when she works and who she sees.

    She normally has a call with new clients first, a little chat to get a feel for them and can quite easily pick up on the unsavoury types. Get that ick feeling real quick.

    I’ll admit I do get a little worried about her if I don’t hear from her for a while, but she can handle herself.











  • First I’ve heard of it.

    But then again I grew up in South Africa, I doubt Gillette would send us anything for free.

    It is a smart way to get young men hooked on their product so that they never try the competition. The blades I use are Astra which are made by the same company making Gillette blades, Procter & Gamble.

    Hell, I actually did some work at their factory in Berlin many years ago and they were very specific about their name, it was drilled into me to use ‘&’ and not ‘and’.


  • When the Mach 3 launched, the women in my family were taking the mens’ razors and saying how crappie their own women’s razors were. The Mach 3 was a big hit.

    I still use it myself. I shave my head and the 3 blades is much easier to clean out. I do use a safety razor on my head first to do most of the work because the blades are dirt cheap. About £11 for 100 and they are made by Gillette as well. I bought these blades years ago and still got about 15 left.

    I use the Mach 3 to go over again to catch any hair I may have missed. I use it on my neck as well. Those multi-blades are a gimmick and I swear it’s to drive up prices.

    I also use shaving oil instead of gel or cream. A single bottle lasts me months, a big saving there as well.
