Biggest expense for me when I swapped to safety razors over a decade ago was a nice brush. I got my razors and cup from my grandfather, the brush was not nice so I invested in a good badger hair brush and still prefer this method. Using a hot towel also really reduces cuts and irritation.

I personally agree that we shouldn't call USA people American's strictly as it's 2 freaking continents of people, but I don't control the world and how they speak nor should I. I'm USAian as well as an American. We use words that people understand, to change the meaning is really difficult in society. example: podcast. Canadian American, USA American, Chile American, maybe something like this makes more sense?

Just a reminder, this site is not running on AWS and didn't go down. It only goes down when I forget to pay bills or the power goes out. Sometimes when I trip over cables, okay so there are various reasons.
