Why does the photo in the quote count against the post's 5-photo limit?

That reminds me of all the non-science b.s. DARE used to teach.. which made everyone disbelieve their core message from the get.

Also, does anyone else get hungry just looking at this thing? It gets props for using "narcotic" correctly. Pisses me off when that word is used to refer to any old drug. About as dumb as saying "nucular".

Even that price is too high. I used to buy blades from the (Schick) company store for $0.25 per bag of 10. They didn't come packaged, just in the little plastic blade holders, stuffed into ziplock bags, but they were fresh off our factory floor. I'm betting Gillette's cost can't be much higher, if at all; I don't know where they machine their blades, but Schick's are cut in Solingen, Germany and sent back to Milford for assembly.

And that's the reason all those Internet shave stores took off. Dollar Shave Club and Harry's and the like.

Of course, now that DSC sold out to unilever; your results may vary.

That chart is for online sales -- doesn't factor in store sales changes.

Their blades do win on price, and possibly even shaves/$, but they aren't comparable in design. Take a look at a Schick or Gillette cartridge and you can see how the blades have a profile akin to angle iron, which permits the blades to be strong while having a narrow cross-section, reducing the clogging during the shaving stroke. Dollar Shave and Harry's blades don't do this; their blades are flat steel with a cut edge, which has to be much deeper to make up the rigidity, consequently clogging much more readily.

That doesn't really have an impact on durability, but I find it tiresome to have the blade stop cutting halfway through a stroke due to clog. Personal preference, though. I can't even claim it's brand loyalty, since I've been using Gillette blades (now I'm not working for Schick I get whichever are on sale at Costco).

I was trying to find a photo to show what I'm talking about, but instead I found this. Anyone else see what's wrong here?

I knew meth was a prescription medication in other countries, same as diacetylmorphine (heroin) is a prescription painkiller in the UK, for example. But hadn't heard of Desoxyn until this poster.

Maybe I'm old, but we used Dexedrine to study. Is it being used as a party drug now? I don't think using it for studying should count as "misuse" even if it's been diverted.
