It featured a (then) non-existent blade called the "triple track". The Gillette Trak-II or Shick Super 2 were the cutting edge (pun unintentional, but detected in process) technology in blades at that time.

I buttoned up a twenty-eight - and those

of their salad days, can still recall the most important
details of those moments that still interest them and matter

It's leaking like a blasted sieve, and yet,
the party must go on. I hope it stops

It has the 78 needle on the other side if you flip it. Which leads to another thing, which I was discu... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/gwbsamoron/21 Fri, 11 May 2007 17:32:41 It is the the insincere, boiler plate apology that is the loser.

My sister came to the house one evening accompanied by this guy (John Mayall) in a huge coat. He didn't say much to anybody; just kind of grunted, then made his way to the piano. He then hunched over the piano, almost completely hidden by the coat, and quietl... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/gwbsamoron/16 Thu, 15 Feb 2007 13:18:52 "You go on ahead while I give these two a lift".... http://journals.democraticunderground.com/gwbsamoron/15 Tue, 23 Jan 2007 15:39:13 I was just thinking along these lines today.

Xanadu may have been a flop, and be a real laughing stock, but I really don't see how anyone could like "best picture" Chicago better. Xanadu is a much more watchable movie.
