Today Codie Sanchez made my email. You choose your hard... so please don’t complain. I’ve been in both, and I’m still deciding what to do next. I take my time, with no rush.

Gillette had taken razor technology to the point of absurdity. Five blades. Lubricating strips. Precision trimmers. Suspension technology. Even quantum anti-ageing effect on your skin. The biggest stars in sport and Hollywood to advertise them. And, of course, charged accordingly. Michael Dubin, today’s story hero, was tired of the whole thing. Tired of paying ridiculous prices for razor cartridges. Tired of having to ask a supermarket employee to unlock a glass cabinet every time he needed...
