Homeowners have been changing out the traditional bulbs in their interior and exterior lighting fixtures from halogen bulbs, to florescent bulbs, and now LED bulbs.

It just makes sense that businesses, schools and medical centers would also begin jumping on the savings bandwagon by replacing those old incandescent & halogen light bulbs.

I have had a beard for over thirty years. It was black once, and now it is grey. But the part of shaving that has always been uncomfortable is shaving the neck. So when I saw, in Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, an article “The Grooming Kit” about Jeff Raider’s online shaving company Harrys.com, it caught my eye. Apparently, Raider upset the high-quality eyewear industry and is now setting out to do it in shaving. Any guy knows that the razors he buys have a very high profit margin in them for Gillette or whomever. Harry’s seems to combine German manufacturing at a much lower price than the big guys, plus no tax and free shipping and handling. I ordered my razor and some blades Sunday but the starter kits were sold out, as were most of the handles. Writing about an improved shave is like telling a golfer he is going to save a few strokes on his score. In both cases, they are going to buy it! It seems like a great deal.
