So, I'm in the Ebay buying doghouse for the foreseeable future. But, if I wasn't, I might strongly consider a new listing on Ebay for "vintage safety razor blade lot NOS". He's got a $20 starting bid and a $30 BIN. Looks like there are 10 boxes of the double sided Gem Micromatic Blades, at least 12 boxes of 5x Treet blades, a couple of boxes of Gem Blue Stars, about 12 PAL singles and some DE blades.
Message me if you want a link, but you should be able to search for the words above in the quotes. I was watching those to see if I could get them cheaper but read your post and figured I better hit the buy it now before they disappeared........you owe me $10 now

Dude...I'm so sorry, I know you're joking but not joking. I'll make it up to you at some point. I was just worried they were going to go to someone outside the community and it was really a good deal. Second time now for me screwing up with Ebay comments....I've learnt my lesson and there won't be a third.

I was given a box of double edge Micromatic blades. Unfortunately, every one of the blades had rust on the edges. None was in usable shape.

Nah, I could have just as easily missed it to anyone even off the forum if I sat on it. It just prodded me to follow thru on it (thumbs up emoji here)

I'm surprised some ebay "dealer" didn't jump on those and split them up to sell separately.
I just bought a new battery for my laptop, so I won't be buying anything for a while.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

GOOOD EVENING PEOPLES!!!
At work tonight. Trying to catch up some. I went to the Dr. the other day for a check up and got the frown. I knew it was coming. I have been putting off going and was off my meds a month or so. Surprisingly I got worse. LOL but back on meds and added one to the list. It is hard to eat right when you mostly just grab a quick bite here and there and sleep random times.

I HATE the doctor visits and have to go every 6 months but it's important Fuzzy. Hope you get to feeling better and I know EXACTLY what you mean about grabbing food on the run while working. Junk and they charge for fast food like it's a dine it experience and then throw a mangled meal at you. Don't get me going...........

Yeah, so many fast food meals and meals out of vending machines when I was working too. It sux, but we do what we must. And we're lied to about what we need to eat. Lied to by people we trust to tell us the truth, but they don't.
Then when something goes wrong the 6 month visits will turn into seemingly every other day with specialists. BTDT.
But today I'm eating right (that takes research!) and my Drs all tell me "People would kill for your numbers.", or "Continue doing what your doing.". I just wish I could undue the years of what listening to the folks I paid to tell me the truth did to my body. I'm working on it. But coming back is slow and painful.
