1. I remember my grandfather used a straight razor, and a razor strop hung on the bathroom cabinet

I wish I knew what happened to them. I have my other grandfather's shaving mug and brush.

2. Cool! Never seen one. Our medicine cabinets still have that slit to dispose of em

5. I read a story about how those slots literally just drop used blades between walls!

There are multiple accounts of house renovations where razor blades avalanched out when they took down bathroom drywall to replace it.

7. Watching it makes me cringe every time it flips over

I keep thinking it is going to cut his fingers...

8. I started using single blades again after 30 years of double or triple blades...

Been doing it for about 10 years now and will never go back. Love the shave I get and it's so much cheaper.

9. When I worked in offices, I usually shaved with blades. But finally just gave in to electric razors.

In the 1990s I did use the disposable razors, but always the single blade ones. The double, triple, etc., didn't do any better.
