The closest possible shave

Gentlemen!

Do you have one of those insane three-to-five blade razors to shave yourself every day?  I do.  The razor itself is fairly cheap, but the blades, over any period of time, are damned expensive.  I offer Harry's razors for those of you who have no time to do anything else but shave as fast as you can.  They are high-quality, and, of course, replacement blades cost money.  They'll do a good job, I guarantee.

There is another solution for those of you who are adventuresome: straight razors.  I have two of them.  Let me tell you, they are frighteningly sharp, so sharp, that stropping them with leather makes them more sharp (think about that).  They are not cheap, but are readily available.

There are plenty of guys who use them.  It's one of the best ways to maintain a pencil mustache, for example.  The main attraction is that, even for you guys that have incredibly thick, heavy facial hair, a straight razor is the very best way to shave so that your face is totally baby-butt smooth.  Ladies may like that.

Shaving with a straight razor is definitely not for everybody.  You have to pay close attention to what you are doing, or you will cut yourself (I have, several times).  You have to practice, and be patient while learning to use one.  You have to have good beard preparation.  I offer the best products to do that, and link to the best website on the planet for learning about straight razors.

Again, over time, using a straight razor is significantly cheaper than disposable razors.  The blades, if well-kept, will last several generations, they are so good.  You just have to take the time needed for a really good shave.  Worth it, when you need a baby-butt smooth face (hope she is worth the effort!).

The Best Toilet Bowl Cleaner Ever

Do you hate, hate, hate to clean your nasty, smelly toilet bowl?  I do.  What an unpleasant, never-ending, gross chore!  Sometimes, the crud, especially the ultra-gross black mildewy stuff, doesn't come off, even with Comet and repeated, hard scrubbing with a scrub brush.  Eccccchhhh!

Well folks, there is a solution to this horrid problem.  It's called The Works toilet bowl cleaner.  I get it at my local HEB, but if you like, you can buy it right here at Hyper-Ad.  I looked for a solution to my problem of gross toilet on the Internet, and discovered this stuff, went out and tried it, and it worked, spectacularly, the very first time!  All the crud was destroyed, and the once-menacing toilet bowl again became pearly white, and so clean and sanitary that even dainty, germ-phobic ladies wouldn't hesitate to ascend that throne.

This stuff is effective because it contains 9.5% HCl, also known as hydrochloric acid.  That is the same acid in your stomach, and used in swimming pools.  Be careful when you use it to not get it on your hands, and especially not in your eyes (you should wear gloves and use eye protection whenever using harsh chemicals). Rinse off any accidental spills with cold water.  It's not concentrated enough to hurt you, but you should never allow acids or bases to stay on you longer than it takes to rinse off.  Just common sense!

As a former chemist, I know what HCl is and how useful it is.  You don't have to worry about environmental impact, since most places have alkaline water (so the stuff is neutralized as soon as it hits the sewage system).  Even if you happen to live somewhere where the water is acidic (not common), you are merely lowering the pH of the sewage system by a tiny amount, making it a bit harder for some nasty bacteria to live.

This product is for the inside of the toilet bowl only, where all the yucky stuff goes. The outside of the toilet can be easily cleaned with Comet or Scrubbing Bubbles. I recommend using a lowly bar mop for the outside - it's so easy, and you just plop the bar mop into the next hot water wash to recycle it for the next go-round of cleaning.

I hate housework, too!

Update: Apparently, other companies have similar products. I included them.

Welcome to Hyper-Ad

In business now for over 20 years, Hyper-Ad is a constantly evolving high-tech company primarily in the business of online retailing and high-tech consulting.  This blog allows us to communicate with our customers informally without adding clutter to the main site.  Here, you will find occasional explanations of what we're doing, rare editorials (which we shall strive to keep very brief), occasional specials and other sundry items of interest to our customers.

We are striving to make online shopping simple, easy, and very clear.  In general, each page of our online store will be about just one narrow category of products from just one source.  This should make check-out a bit less complicated.  For each type of item we sell, we will offer only three choices: good, better and best. Please be advised that we have affiliate programs with multiple vendors, so a particular shopping trip may require several check-outs if you choose to select items from different sources.  We'll do our best to make that very clear.  Our most important priority is to waste as little of our client's time as humanly possible.

Periodically, we will review our offers in light of changing circumstances.  Prices and quality on online items tend to change rapidly, so we cannot always guarantee the best prices. However, our prices should be competitive.  We will work only with reputable vendors with good records of customer service.

Last, should you run across an issue with any purchase, first go to the vendor that fulfilled the sale.  All of them have extensive customer services.  We'd like to know about it if you have a particularly frustrating experience, so we can prevent that from happening again.  For the most part, that should not happen, since we work only with well-established vendors (Amazon, Wal-mart, Sam's Club, etc.), but occasionally, bad things happen.  A quick note to us will usually prevent a repeat of the issue (and by that we mean we will stop selling the item from that vendor so other folks don't have the same problem).

Thanks for stopping by.  Come see us again soon!
