Since you do not have to get your tax forms mailed until the 18th this year, maybe this will remind you of how the government shaves you nice and clean.
This video is on how you can get six months out of a razor blade. I'll bet Gillette and Schick hope you don't see this, and if you see it, you don't actually do it.
