I'm on disability, double curve scoliosis with 2 titanium rods implanted to my spine, base of the neck all the way down to small of my back with sets of steel wires every 6 inches or so wrapped around my spine and attached to the rods. Its not very nice.

As long as you keep moving around they'll never catch you.
But if you try it and get caught don't tell em I said to do it.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

I've been a grocery store clerk (raised in one), a stock boy, a salesman, a University administrator (Director of University Graphics), a convenience store manager (thanks to my upbringing), and always an artist, first in oils and now in fabrics. So I guess I've never really retired despite taking an early SS retirement.

I put on some dirty shabby clothes along with a shaggy wig make myself look as pitiful as possible and stand on a street corner holding a hand written note on a piece of old cardboard that says:
Will work for
straight razor money.
You won't believe how much I make! I have a sneaky suspicion that people are hoping that I'll slit my throat with one so I don't come back!
Actually I just retired after 40 years in the grocery business. I've been everything from a stock boy, a cashier, a produce and a meat cutter. I've never really acquired any of the 'ADs' but have slowly purchased what I wanted. I don't have anything really fancy as I pretty much go for function over 'Bling'.
OH! Personally, I think that collecting razors, strops, hones etc is a 'Hobby'. Using and maintaining a straight razor for regular use is a 'Way of Life'
