The Future of Shaving!
"I bought a Merkur Futur safety razor with stand, soap bowl, Colonel Conk soap, and stinky badger brush. I will save money over the next few decades by using this razor. safety razor blades cost 15 to 30 cents apiece, as opposed to 3 bucks per Mach 3 blade. Plus I get closer shaves, AND my bathroom sink looks like that of an old man!!"
