(It does and it doesn't.) Back in the day you probably could've tried your buddies razor or gone to any barber to see how something different shaved.

    More than a pair is just self-indulgent. Not that that's a bad thing.

    It's kind of like screwdrivers -- for 99% of the people 2 would be all you'd ever need -- a medium sized phiilips head and a medium sized flat. But most people (speaking for myself) have a wide range of screwdrivers from very tiny to very large and of different handle materials... a bunch of very similar ones that wind up being duplicative , yes, but not exactly the same and never excessive.

    It's only excessive if you have any custom made screw drivers or one with a pre-ban ivory handle.

    What's the reason to own multiple razors, putting aside the fact that their shiny and fun and make a nice collection :]
    סך-הכל, זה תחביב... יחסית צנוע, אמנם יקר (במקרים רבים). דווקא, ניתן להשיג תערים די יפות, במכיר סביר, מאלקס צייטלין, שגר בקצרין.

    לי נראה שברוב המקרים מדברים על אנשים שאינם מסוגלים לחסוך כספם, ו/או שקונים דרך כרטיס אשראי, במקום כסף משלהם.

    שבוע טוב!

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    My long suffering wife just shakes her head and walks away. Seems some women just innately understand the males need to hunt and gather and others not so much.

    Took me some time (and i'm still unsure) to decide if my phone translated your massege or you actualy wrote in hebrew... the conclusion is that the hebrew is too good for autu-translate...

    Is alex the one from strazors.com?
    I think my next razor will be from him..
