Without any prior knowledge of having “The Gift” (as the “Archuletas” jokingly refer to dowsing ability) or where he thought the pipe was, I had success in finding the same location. And yes, the pipe was there. I felt a little like Michael J. Fox discovering the family affliction in “Teen Wolf.” I had kept the safety razor that I used in callow youth (until Gillette quite supplying the blades in the US and I had to switch to the tolerably good/bad Atra “system”). I refuse to use more than twin blades. Five blades, geeesh, that’s a bulk cheese grater. There’s a guy in Florida that supplies less expensive razors. http://www.razorandbrush.com/barberiaraz.html When I was little, my father wanted confirmation of a water pipe he was trying to find in my grandmother’s yard.

I never knew any of this about you. (BTW I have wanted to switch to a safety razor for a long, long time. It just seems like the right thing to do. But there is nowhere I can get one locally and the ones I find online tend to be too pricey. I'm sure Smith's Variety has the blades for them: they have everything else. I'll try to work on my own list. David, these are great! I never knew any of this about you.
