    when i was 16 my mother and sister both pitched in to buy me … a shaver. I didn’t even fucking have facial hair. they bought one that was ridiculously overpriced. I could’ve gotten a Playstation 2 for the ridiculous amount they paid but instead they got me this dumb fucking appliance that I don’t think I even used ONCE.

    still can’t grow a beard for shit to this day though…

        Some people just don’t get much of a beard naturally. An interesting thing is that you can actually use minoxidil (Rogaine) on your face and still grow one.

        When i was 16, so 25 years ago lol, Gillette sent me a razor and a pack of blades through the post for nothing. It was a very good marketing strategy tbf as I continued to buy blades for it for 20 years until I bought myself a safety razor and enough blades to last probably 10 years
