Thread: Noticing a trend among straight razor shavers....

I don't think I'd mind going back 70 or 80 years even though I've often wondered how ANYONE lived in Florida back then (no AC and electric fans for rich people.) I'm always amazed at the old photos of Florida back in the day. The guys, even if they're fishing or hunting, always seem to be wearing wool or flannel suits and ties. Most of the year I can bust a more than adequate sweat in shorts and a t-shirt. Why anyone would want to run around in 3 layers of clothes in such weather is a mystery to me.

All that aside, I suppose that if you never had AC you'd never miss it. Still something about having nowhere to escape the oppressive heat that is kind of disturbing.

I guess people would migrate north for the summer and south for the winter
