Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 21, 2025

I use one a month…

I use a strait razor. I never buy blades.

Disposables cost too much, safety razors shave better for far less.

ouch

Except me! Oh yeah, I am a plugger.

When I was much younger (early 20s) my father used my razor once to see how well it worked. I had to change the blade as it no longer worked for me. He dulled it some how.

Me bearly shave but yes me do this too.

Yeah, and we don’t use fancy gel, and we don’t cut our faces! And we LIKE it that way!

As long as the toilet paper and pain threshold holds out.

Keep your blades in a pyramid-shaped cardboard container. The blade stays sharp longer (according to mystics) but plastic handles tend to melt. (—

I just use an electric razor.

I think it’s time to get a new razor!

I get about 6 months from a single safety razor blade (’bout $0.10).

Razor? What’s that? said the bearded one.

not something I scrimp on

Many more miles… on a bumpy narrow dirt road.

OUCH!

Haha…a plugger would rather walk around in public with dried blood and scratches on their face than shell out the 75 cents or so for a new disposable razor.

After the first nick, I take the hint. They still make styptic pencils by the way. Stings a little but makes for a faster clean up.
