Description

Five dollars. That's what one plastic cartridge cost me, every week, for thirty years. My grandfather paid pennies a blade and shaved closer. So I bought a 1950s Gillette for eighteen bucks and shaved his way for a full year. I kept every receipt. The total's at number two, plus one cost nobody warns you about.
