We just got wchnu on the internet a few years ago. Takes him a while to warm up to new stuff. Matter of fact, I think his new truck even has a tape player in it. Much better than the 8 tracks huh? You mean he doesn't have to crank it? Will wonders never cease? That's what I was thinking, apparently he has one of those new fangled cars with electric start! Well, he is getting kinda old.

I checked. AC Delco AM Radio only. My first 2 vehicles had those I think. 67 Dodge Cornet granny car and 1963 Chevy C10. My '56 Dodge had a tube type radio, had to warm up before it came on. Had a '65 Dodge Coronet (not Cornet) with no radio at all, just the factory cover plate for the radio hole. Had a '67 GTX with the factory reverb knob! Unfortunately it didn't work.

I am going to have crow for dinner tonight!! I had a preconceived notion that all these new fangled SE razors were not for me----I thought the razor had to be at least 50 years old for me. I also grow heirloom seeds in my garden for the most part, only a few hybrids. My Razorock ECO proved me to be very wrong.. As a person who doesn't accept change very well, this admission of snubbery is tough on me. Could I be wrong on other stances, very very probable!! I wasn't a hater as I never even thought about trying any. The ECO is a great shaver and will allow me to use up hundreds of DE blades in my cabinet. My thanks to the Italian Barber and Joe!!! The ECO may become the CEO of my shave den!! I hope other doubters may try new things as well(not just only razors and shaving gear) as your suspensions may be right-or wrong as mine was---only by trying will you ever really know! I'm thinking sweet taters will be good with crow! Turncoat!

I think mentioning half blade razors should earn you half a brick.

... my lightest shaver, that is a winner. Bic? No, Dorco.

Looks like an upright vacuum cleaner for Barbie?

What is kind of funny is we've come full circle on starting. I remember a push button start on my grandfather's grain truck. My wife's car has that now. Of course the grain truck didn't have the 8 way power seats Also I think it's dangerous now that the dimmer switch is on the column rather than the floor. I've come close to getting my show caught in the steering wheel a number of times. "Show"? Meant to say shoe or foot. It's from an old joke that went around shortly after dimmer switches moved to the turn signal stick. Something along the lines of the new placement of the dimmer switch is great for everyone except the [insert ethnic group you want to make fun of here], they keep getting their foot caught in the steering wheel trying to dim the lights.

Looks like an upright vacuum cleaner for Barbie? No, looks exactly as one of the most efficient unmentionable safety razor now on the mass market. I have a nice review on that, after I hacked the shape to have an easy-to-use 3-piece razor. (PP603)

Hmmm.. One thing I like about SE is the thicker blades. That is not going to be the case here. But this will have the lowest cost blades for SE bar none and if you snap them yourself the widest selection of blades which seems to matter to the unmentionable users more than it should in my opinion. Much much much more then it should. Ehh, as far as unmentionable blades go there is a lot of variety and they all shave differently in my experience...but this isn't the place to discuss the intricacies of unmentionable blade choice. So I'll leave my opinion at that I suppose. I guarantee there would be many more discussions on blade choices here if there were more options available though. That's just my opinion.

My first car was a 67 coronet... 4 door granny car with a 318. I understand the fun here. Let’s set the record straight though. New styles in cars and radios and things like that are advances that bring a big change in things. With razors there is none of that. The newest greatest thing often isn’t. They are not more efficient or effective or anything else. They just are tools to do the same job. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig and calling it the homecoming queen.

There is so little difference in unmentionable blades that it does not really matter which one you use. This is as long as they are sharp. Some are not. Technique will even out those small variations.

The dimmer switch should be on the floor still... along with the shifter...

Get someone to load your razor, see if you can identify the blade without looking. Don't put money on it, you'll lose yer ass.
