I hate all advertising!!! The primary reason I listen to KUNM-FM, despite their commie-pinko orientation, is because there's virtually no advertising. Although it is beginning to creep in (e.g. "Volvo service with a conscience"). Huh?! If I owned a Volvo (highly unlikely, if you know me) I would be more concerned with the competence of a repairperson (hmm, first time I've ever used _that_ word) than their conscience. Well, maybe "conscience" implies honesty. All right then. Of course my own strategy for the razor issue is to grow a beard for six months of the year, but apparently that's not an option. BTW, Friday is the beard's midpoint. This dislike, no, I need a stronger word than that…disgust isn’t exactly right, but I digress. I hate all advertising!!!

So, I would like to begin with a Thank you for something well written. That which for a while now, I have not been accustomed to. I myself, not being not so skilled in writing please forgive. I am going to have to deal with some of the same issues this holiday season, as he whose stubble does offend has requested a new electric razor. So my research began online and led me to this article. As I read the article I of course I felt reflective of the issue. Thus, my thanks given. I decided to reply because the reason I am purchasing a new razor to replace is his current self-cleaning razor. As the current razor was beginning to and now has stopped working. I am now inclined to make such purchase. I purchased had the self-cleaning razor last Christmas for him. Today is when he asked for a new one. I was hesitant as his is only one year old. Then today as he was getting ready for work I heard the razor from the living room on the opposite end of the house. We work different hours lately so I hadn’t heard it for 6 months, or so. The volume of it had gone up to about 4 times what it was new. It shocked me it was so loud. I went to investigate as I am the more mechanically incline of the two of us. He told me that it had been getting worse and worse. I had noticed that his daily stubbly was always longer, but I thought that it just needed blades, that no store caries anymore. Admittedly the newer self-cleaning razors might not do this, but I cannot be sure so I will not buy another. When I opened the razor cover the blades, the cover sides, the base of it 75% of the inside was covered with what the ”cleaning” solution had turned the hair into, some kind of paste. I continued to clean it with an appropriate brush. I thought it might be better once cleaned. It was not. I re-rinsed it trying still and it fell apart. Upon inspection of the pieces it appeared that the solution had worn down the inside parts also that holds the pivoting razor head on and the part that holds the additional piece from which the razor head pivots. So in total the razor when it fell apart was in 4 pieces, not including the base, wires, or any other part that was not originally attached to the main razor unit. Horrified I tried to put it back together. It was too broken. It is such a good thing that the author of the article decided not to go to with a self-cleaning razor. Assuming that the issue one newer models would remain. I think I will just buy new razor blades for his old razor. He used the last razor for 7 years. If that is the standard or even median life, with 2 blade replacements, one year is truthfully a waste of what was more than $100 purchase. This is a very timely publish for my life.
