Safe Deposit Box for Shaving Stash?
Safe Deposit Box for Shaving Stash?
It occurred to me last week that I probably should store my extra shaving stuff, beyond about a year's supply of what I currently use and rotate through, in my safe deposit box at the bank. That way I won't stand a risk of losing it, in any one of a number of hypothetically possible ways. Right now, it's sitting in a series of plastic storage bins in the back of the closet. This does mean I'll have to upgrade to a larger box at the bank, of course. Doesn't this sound like a rational course of action?

Maybe the better course of action in the event of an unexpected loss of all or most of the shaving gear stored on premises would be a spirited and motivated international internet shopping adventure, which would probably be a very pleasant experience, within a specified budget, of course!

From Wikipedia:fatcity wrote:How about a tontine? any takers?
The basic concept is simple. Each investor pays a sum into the tontine. Each investor then receives annual dividends on his capital. As each investor dies, his or her share is reallocated amongst the surviving investors. This process continues until only one investor survives. Each subscriber receives only dividends; the capital is never paid back. The proceeds of the subscription were used to fund various private or public works projects. These sometimes contained the word "tontine" in their name, as did the Tontine Coffee House on Wall Street in New York City. Built in 1792, it was the first home of the New York Stock Exchange. In a later variation, the capital would devolve upon the last survivor, effectively dissolving the trust and usually making the survivor very wealthy; it is this version that has often been the plot device for mysteries and detective stories.

Looks to be an excellent story. Thanks for the reference. I'm going to plan to read it as soon as I finish the book I'm reading now.

This reminds me of George Carlin's observation "Have you noticed that their stuff is sh!t and your sh!t is stuff?"
Meaning if a burglar breaks into a house and sees a box of old razors and brushes chances are he'll say "eww" not "OMFG a Fatboy."
In fact you might want to put your armageddon bullion under a bunch of shave accoutrements to keep it safe.

I think buying more stuff is the best approach. A bar or plastic jar of soap or cream is probably the most innocuous-appearing article we can possibly have. Around these parts, I suspect the risk of loss is probably more weather-related, than anything else. If or when the tornado does go through, the news reports show the folks wandering around poking around among the wreckage looking for their stuff. The sad truth is that the stuff that would be scattered around where I used to live is the stuff that belongs to a hundred other folks, and my stuff is about 15 miles away distributed throughout other people's trees and yards.
