One of these days I'm going to go full hipster and go for a straight razor/leather strop setup. I'll just have to time it when I don't have any presentations to give, lest anyone think I walked into the wrong bar.Originally Posted by n2ize

Is that the latest trend on the hipster scene ? To go retro with respect to shaving ? Several years ago I went back to the old 1950's double edged safety razors with the heavy brass metal handle. My main reason was not to be trendy but to be old fashioned and most important,the plain ol double edge blades are cheaper. A 5 pack of Wilkinson regular double edge blades costs me $1.99 instead of $20.00 for expensive "Fusion" blades and they do just as good a job and last just about as long. I have thought about going to a straight razor and a strop but for now the regular double edge safety razor does the job just fine. And saves me a lot of money in blades.
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
More or less.
So, someone here, not me, has a HUGE coffee machine. Makes a full pot in 2 minutes too.
I've enjoyed island life for 17 years. That's 13 years more than the Confederacy was around.

I wonder if anyone in Colorado or Washington has brewed up pot, no pun intended, of JavaJane.

I drink almost exclusively 7-11 Coffee, early in the morning when I am driving to a Swapmeet or such. Then I switch over to BIG GULPS for Coolant.
I don't mess with none o' that fancy equipment. I just buy a fifty pound sack of beans and munch 'em like candy.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
With respect to everything.

That explains a lot. However, without any equipment, I guess they are no perks, eh?
