This is exactly correct. Child of the early 70s.

I heard my peers say this about the 80s and had to laugh and laugh.

For every Prince, there were 100 sucky bands.

This is capitalism. It doesn’t care where it comes from or how the money comes in. But b***h better have my money.

This is why the country is going to hell. It can’t even invest in infrastructure anymore because there’s no short term profit in it.

Welcome to our late stage capitalist nightmare.

Cost! The cheap disposable blades are horrible to shave with. The good ones are crazy expensive.

Good quality safety razors are cheap! I bought a pack of blades and it’s lasted me literally years. It probably cost me $10-15 too.

You have to shave lighter. Once you get used to it, they work incredibly well.

With a 3-5 mini razor Mach something, you can push pretty hard before you cut yourself.

Safety razors it’s much lighter touch but it still shaves very close. I bought one of these 10 years ago and it’s still going strong. Safety razors are cheap to buy and once you get used to it, works just as well if not better.

Safety razors are the best! They are cheap, you can buy a bunch of quality blades for pennies compared to a “Mach 3” or whatever.

Once you learn how to shave with one, there’s no going back.

My 30s were so so so much better than my 20s, it wasn’t even funny. I partied practically non-stop from the point my 1st marriage ended in my early 30s, to when my 2nd one began at 41. I made tons of new friends, dated around a lot and had the best time of my life.

Now that I have 2 kids, a stressful job and my money evaporates the moment it hits my bank account, I also have lost all my friends. The only ones I have now are other adults with kids around the same age as my kids, because that’s pretty much the only time you get to socialize with other adults.

The secret is: hang out with people younger than yourself and/or get involved in a scene. I’m a musician so I just went to shows or met people at mine. It doesn’t have to be that though, I also joined a volleyball team and while I stunk up the joint, I also got to meet a bunch of cool people. Really most friendships are based on proximity and common interest, so if you’re into movies, go to movie festivals or special showings. Go to meetups, get involved in a political campaign (if you’re political).
