Close Shave

Our gentleman's form-fitting skinny fit pants provide his physique with a smoothness that equals the smoothness of his closely shaved face. Quite the handsome fellow!

Speaking of close shaves... our HOTT Crew have been long-time subscribers to Harry's, the men's shaving subscription service. Harry's worked well when it focused on convenience, but recently they change shipping procedures to drastically reduce costs (is Harry's in financial trouble?), resulting in major inconvenience.

For example, our Harry's shave orders normally take 3 days to reach us, traveling from Wallingford, CT to Cambridge, MA. Here's the new route our orders are taking below!

After 12 days (yes, TWELVE!) our Harry's shave kits have travelled over 2,900 miles. We still haven't received our orders, but here's the impressive itinerary of what we now call "Harry's North American Gyre" (like the North Pacific Gyre that is a swirling mass of plastic waste):

May 12 - Arrival at Post Office in Wallingford CT
May 13 - Enroute via truck
May 14 - Arrival at Long Island City, NY
May 15 - Arrival at Astoria, NY
May 16 - Enroute via truck
May 17 - Arrival at Greensboro, NC
May 18 - Enroute via truck
May 19 - Enroute via truck
May 20 - Arrival in Des Moines, Iowa
May 21 - Enroute via truck
May 22 - Arrival in Springfield, MA
May 23 - Enroute via truck
May 24 - Enroute via truck to... Long Island City!!!!

We did call customers service at Harry's, and they reluctantly sent out replacement kits, but they're taking THE SAME ROUTE as the lost ones!

Harry's was nice while it lasted, and we'd buy them at our nearby Target IF that store carried them (they don't), but we think it's time to quite Harry's and try our hometown's Gillette On Demand service!
