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

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

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

(54,770 posts)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.
