Surprises

 I love the little surprises of the day. Especially the ones that make me smile or think. Really especially the ones that make me do both! 

This morning I was introduced to a new blog. It's called "Only Knives" and the entry that drew my attention was "10 Reasons to Shave with a Straight Razor". You can read it here

Now most guys would pretty much laugh at that type of thing. After all, who wants to go back 100 years or more. And, the thought of putting something sharp near your jugular vein conjures up all kinds of horror films.

But, I am kind of a retro guy. Much of our furniture is 50's style (mid-century modern). For fun I drive a '65 Chevy. And, much of the music I love is back in the tape or record era. So maybe it's something I should think about.

In any case, it's an interesting read. Even if you have no intention of letting anything more lethal than a Bic disposable razor anywhere near your neck! And, even if the only shaving you do is on those beautiful legs of your's. It may not make you think the way I did, but it will make you smile! And, if you decide to take a swipe at it (ok, wrong choice of words) it could save you some money!

Keep on Stretching those Dollars!

Gary

About Gary

For more than 25 years, Gary Foreman has worked to manage money effectively. Prior to starting The Dollar Stretcher, he was a financial planner and purchasing manager. While helping clients manage their hard earned money as a financial planner, he applied commonsense, time-tested techniques during the turbulent 1980’s. The experience convinced him that you didn’t need to hit the lottery to accumulate significant wealth. Following that, Gary had an opportunity to learn more about how to get the best value for a dollar spent in the corporate world. As the Purchasing Manager for a computer manufacturer, he was responsible for supervising over $10 million in annual purchases. Gary began The Dollar Stretcher website <www.TheDollarStretcher.com> and newsletters in April 1996. Over 300,000 readers benefit from the time and money saving ideas presented in The Dollar Stretcher newsletters each week. His mission is to help people "Live Better for Less". He also provides private label newsletters for companies wishing to provide money saving information for their clients and/or prospects. Gary lives in Florida along with his wife of thirty years and their two children. Much of his time is spent working with the men's ministry of his church. One of their ongoing projects is the "Holy Smoke BBQ" which sells bbq on Friday nights with the profits going to support local foster kids and orphans. When he has a free moment you’ll find him restoring a Checker station wagon nicknamed “Two Ton” or cruising in a '65 Impala SS Convertible with doo-wops playing in the background.
