    lol. Every now and then when talking to guys about this 'way of the straight edge' I will go with the Company line of "think about it, one quality razor is all you will need for the rest of your life" bit. If the wife is in ear shot, OMG does my story get coloured in a bit.. Aside from gents like Mr Hewitt, most of us did not stop at one or three.. The romantic minimalist ideal quickly replaced by specific images of the tool needed for the perfect shave, perfect feel, perfect look, etc.

    Not the way I do it. As soon as I see an item on the bay I want to buy I enter my max bid into Gixen and never look back. Gixen sends that bid a couple of seconds before bidding ends to ebay.

    I do this also, it keeps me on budget and helps keep emotion out!

    My hats off to you for the restraint this tool provides. May have to try it for that alone. Sort of like eBay cruise control.
    "Keep emotion out".. LOL not possible for me.
    Anything I intend to rub or stroke that much will always have lots of emotion tied to it..
    Cheers..
