Snobs? I never insinuated anyone here was being a snob? I like expensive things too and I completely understand the logic. I don't think, in fact, I ever used the word snob. But as I mentioned, if I had to go into this for even $80, 90 a 100 or more I probably would have never started the journey. Too much a risk right away on my wallet. At least this small cheap purchase has brought me to this place where the help has been great, and offer you made to try a real razor. This way if I do and find I do not think I'd like it I'm only in $26 for the 2 purchases. But like computers in 1987, ancient history, when I bought my first they were cheap. But as time went by and I really liked computers I bought more and laid out more for what I wanted. I also smoke a pipe about once a day. There as here, I'd love to go really expensive with it but I have one wood I like and a few corn cobs. I'm living on median SSI and keeping the family home now that it is mine and a truck up ... well many of you know. That's not a lot to live on. If I take to this I'll lay out some more eventually but I never would have to start up. It's all good. It's all worked well. :tu Many thanks again! jack ":-Dx
