Think that's something? Here in San Francisco we show off our devil-may-care attitude by eating non-organic tomatoes...unwashed.

yea but there scottish not english, Firstly the scots being so cheap the blade are probably no sharper than a golf ball, and secondly they would probably have to battered and deep fry them first then drown them in brown sauce before they eat them!

Hi all,
How we will know which one it is? Can you advice a place to buy it on the net?

Hey, don't knock it till you've tried it!!

Omg...the previous post were hilarious and im glad i was sitting down. Truely funny!
However...back to the alum block. What i do personally, after i shave, is wet the alum block with witch hazel and lather the block in my hand, then i rub my hands all over my face; both shaved and non-shaved areas. Really quite nice...and sanitary. Try it...you face will love it.

Any shaving site will sell it. I get mine from a turkish site in N.Y called Tulumba.com. You can by enough blocks to last the rest of your life for a few bucks.
