  • Audiobooks.

    Listen to an audiobook and just walk, it does depend where you live though. I’m lucky there are a lot of trails and paths around my town.

    I walk about 5km every day, done so for more than 2 years now and listening to audiobooks helps the time pass quite quickly.

    What also helps a lot is doing some pushups at home as well, for a few months I did 100 pushups throughout the day and it really makes a difference.



  • First I’ve heard of it.

    But then again I grew up in South Africa, I doubt Gillette would send us anything for free.

    It is a smart way to get young men hooked on their product so that they never try the competition. The blades I use are Astra which are made by the same company making Gillette blades, Procter & Gamble.

    Hell, I actually did some work at their factory in Berlin many years ago and they were very specific about their name, it was drilled into me to use ‘&’ and not ‘and’.


  • When the Mach 3 launched, the women in my family were taking the mens’ razors and saying how crappie their own women’s razors were. The Mach 3 was a big hit.

    I still use it myself. I shave my head and the 3 blades is much easier to clean out. I do use a safety razor on my head first to do most of the work because the blades are dirt cheap. About £11 for 100 and they are made by Gillette as well. I bought these blades years ago and still got about 15 left.

    I use the Mach 3 to go over again to catch any hair I may have missed. I use it on my neck as well. Those multi-blades are a gimmick and I swear it’s to drive up prices.

    I also use shaving oil instead of gel or cream. A single bottle lasts me months, a big saving there as well.
