We don't use nasty cans of foam propelled by deadly gases, but instead take the time and care to craft our lather by hand from renewable products...Those cans of foam are also the leading cause of the drought don't you know...

Stand Tall, Stand Together and help save the planet by shaving with a pre 1904 Straight Razor today! (or tomorrow if you have already shaved)

On another note,what are your credentials for said disposal? Will the razors be treated humanely? Which gov't. agency serves as the watchdog for your activities? Are you yourself a gov't. contractor? Will any tax dollars be spent on your services?

Hey, I'm a senior moderator ..... what more do you want ?

Just kidding, Jimmy, honest!

That's only fully automatic straight razors. The Semi autos are fine. I think as long as the razors are less than 45 cal they are OK too. However you can't use those 30 round magazines for your disposable razors. I understand Gillette is asking for an exemption.

Dont jack with the ol' guy.... he wont play fair! LOL

And now back to your regularly scheduled program lol...

I don't understand why any of those regulations are being passed down in NY period?!

I pay for my own health care - who the heck are they to get all up in my face and try and save me from myself??!!

When they start footing the bill for my healthcare - When they start ensuring that there is a long enough paid time off for lady's who have just had a kid and can therefore address the need to pump or feed every three hours... then they can get all up in my face - but until that day, get out of here!

Thats all and good but I hear a lot of talk about him wanting to put an irremovable orange plastic cover over the edge such as those you find on modern cap pistols.

Until that day...? Why at all?

David --
The gov't.'s wish is for each and every citizen to drop dead the day before they turn 65 years of age. That way, the gov't. can take all that FICA $$$ and never have to repay it. Didn't you ever think of that?
