Old Spice Navigator 2

Times are hard in San Francisco. In 2005 it was The Great Hoegaarden Shortage. Now it's impossible to find Gillette Mach III Cartridges. The Walgreen's by my house is deep in the heart of the ghetto. There are armed security guards by the prescription counter 24 hours a day. There are heartbreaking signs next to the diapers and baby food sections that say "shoplift and you will go to jail." Anyway, for whatever the reason, the only razor this place had left was the elusive Old Spice Navigator. It's red, and is battery powered. It's not a terrible razor, but it's not in the league of the Mach 3. The head of the razor does not swivel, so you need to keep the angle exactly right or it won't shave. The vibration is a distraction - because the thing is vibrating as you shave, you think it's working, when in reality the only factor that matters is if the blade is aligned properly with your face. It's $5 for three battery powered heads, which is much cheaper than the Mach 3. But when the shortage of Mach 3 cartridges ends, I'll be stocking up for sure...
