Seconded. I bought a Merkur handle, 25 blades and some soap about 15-18 years ago. Since then I've bought maybe 3 more soaps and a pack of 100 more blades. I probably get through moisturizer faster than I get through any of my other shaving stuff.

Shaving is basically free if you use a safety razor. It makes me wonder what other basic necessities stolen by capitalism are actually easily reclaimed.

    Thanks for sharing, I'm tremendously intrigued by this. I really can't imagine your experience.

    When think of a song I like, I almost automatically "hear" it in my mind. It doesn't interfere with my actual ears, it's kind of on a separate plane of existence. Other noises in the real world can be distracting but I can (with a little effort) ignore one and focus on the other. Are we on the same page here?

    With visual stuff it's exactly the same. If I think about a person I know, I immediately see their face. Not with my eyes, but on a separate plane again. It doesn't interfere with what my eyes are seeing but can require some concentration to focus on details. My internal monologue might say their name or I'll hear something they once said to me, and I'll experience certain emotions depending on the person. What happens when you think about a person?

    The one where the whole thing is just Walter chasing a fly around the lab. I've even got a vague memory of Vince Gilligan admitting it was only there because they were an episode short of whatever they were contractually obliged to produce but had very little budget left.
