Two more things I like about the Mach 3 razor, vs. the disposables I started with:

* The blades are physically separate, and have no material behind them. So you can rinse the razor after each pass simply by blasting it with your faucet, and the junk washes off cleanly every time.

* I like the look and feel of the metal handle. It seems to be the same sort of metal and coloring used on Matchbox car models circa 1980. (I am told they are all cheapo plastic these days, alas.) This makes me strangely happy.

More and more of the Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars (both owned by the same company nowadays) are becoming cheapo plastic -- especially the base. There are still a few all-metal base and body cars out there though.

This makes me happy I've decided to keep my 'box 'o matchbox cars' that Dad sent up from the house cleaning and eventual sale.

good times

I *had* several carrying-case boxes of matchbox cars, once upon a time. And then i believe my mom sold them in one of the yardsales, without asking me about it....

huge portions of my childhood were spent playing in the dirt with matchbox cars. Making roads with sticks, etc. I always hated Hot Wheels. I used to have a ton of military vechicles, which would engage in wars with my next door neighbor and his set of matchboxes, with clumps of dirt as the weapon of choice, across the sand pile.

A lot of my Matchboxes were actual UK ones, too. Mmm, metal!

For $1 each at Target, I'm not going to complain.
