Bring cans of food and get a hat!

I've never met him, but I have to assume that Jeff Hagan is a genius.  Why?  Because according to this story in the Wall Street Journal Hagan "bought 100 Gillette Mach3 blades. Then he found oil that helps double the blades' lifespan."  Mach3 is my shaver of choice and though I don't much like the expense of the blades, I've found they give me the best shave, much better than the newer four blade shavers, and I'm worried that they blades will go away or get even more expensive.  

Mr. Hagan's genius is revealed in this excerpt:

"I'm basically investing in blade futures," Mr. Hagan remembers telling onlookers at Costco as they marveled at the pile of cartridges in his car. "That's my hedge against forcing to upgrade."

I can't really afford to get 100 blades at once, but if add one pack of blades (the Costco packs hold something like 28 blades) every other time I go to Costco I should be able to build up a stockpile pretty quickly.  Now I just need to find that oil and I'll be golden.

With establishments like this on the same block you know you’re staying in the high rent district.

Heading out. Thanks for the hospitality NOLA. Can’t believe I’m gonna say this but I’m looking forward to some normal NC humidity.

Ate at Stanley’s for breakfast since the line at Cafe Du Monde was WAY too long. I highly recommend the Stanley eggs which is basically eggs benedict with fried oysters thrown in. The cajun breakfast potatoes are excellent too. And then there’s the chicory coffee…
