    Just as long as your shaving gear doesn't smell weird its all good.

    I grew up with tired old public payphones everywhere in the 70's. Used them maybe 20 times, felt nasty.

    Hey guys, I have heard the real problem was the strop, as the razor was cleaned off at the barbers on a regular basis, all the cooties would propagate on the leather. Transfer from the strop to the razor was more probable than the other way around, but with that many gents sitting in your chair for a shave the razor was washed regularly the strop was not.

    To way in on the other subject of CCO's (cootie carrying objects) MONEY!!!!!
    A good lather is half the shave.

    My barber still shaves the sideburns and neck. The first time there I did not see him change the blade in the chavette.
    Henceforth, I take one of my razors for him to do his work.
    If you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

    I have heard that the seats on the London underground are seething with filth.
