    Default Oh, the humanity!

    I was at my barber today and got talking about straight razor shaving. When she said that she hadn't given a shave in "many years," I asked if she had any old razors she wanted to sell to me. Since she hadn't been using them, she'd taken a couple dozen of her best and arranged them in a glass display in her husband's barber shop (a different shop), where they've been sitting as decorations for years. Thing is, they're remodeling the shop and have no use for them . . .

    . . . so they THREW AWAY the whole lot last week!

    Ignorant, just plain ignorant. As barbers they should have known better.
