== Writing Container ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, and to be honest, you haven't used this type of container for the past couple of years. This hasn't been your format of choice either. Right.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Exactly.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So it's excuse me. It's outside the realm of the normal writing experience.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All right.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' So we let's put this one to bed and we can always we can always circle back around it because I'm sure we'll get some emails on the the preciousness argument. And, you know, I can totally agree with that. But let's let's talk about something that you maybe have have put on some some fancy paper or, you know, that you got in recently.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Do you know what? I'm going to make the people wait just for a little bit longer. Oh, look at you. Such a tease. This week's episode is brought to you by Harry's. For many of us, shaving can be a pain. It can be a pain on our faces. It can be a pain on the other parts of our bodies that we like to shave. But it's also a pain on the wallet as well because razor blades are expensive and they tend to be even not great quality or because they're expensive, you use them for a little bit longer than you should be. This is what Harry's set out to fix. It's started by a couple of guys who wanted to create a better product, which was fairly priced, great quality and meant that you could treat your face nicer. Harry's make their own blades. They have high quality, high performing German blades. They're crafted by shaving experts. But because they own the factory that creates those blades, they can offer them at about half the price of other big brand blades. They will also ship them for free to your front doorstep. On average, an everyday shaver who shaves with Harry's blades will save themselves $150 every single year because they use Harry's blades. Harry's blades are cheaper. They can use them more often. It's a great combo. And with Harry's, your satisfaction is guaranteed because that is something that is important to them. They have a starter set which you can get yourself for a fantastic $15. In fact, you could actually get it for $10, which I'll tell you about in a moment. And with this set, you'll get a razor, moisturizing shave cream or foaming shave gel. And three razor blades. Now, I am a foaming shave gel person. I know that Mr. Dowdy is a moisturizing shave cream kind of guy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yep.

'''Myke Hurley:''' But that's the great thing with Harry's. You get the choice and both of their products are great. They both smell great, but they have different characteristics to them. I like the fact that the gel turns into a crazy foam. And Brad just likes the silky smoothness of the cream because that's the kind of guy. Brad is silky smooth. So it doesn't surprise me at all. So Harry's products all look really great. They have great design to them, which is kind of this really great retro modern style that I like. And this is in both their graphic design, but also the design of the razor handles and stuff like that. I think that they're absolutely great. I use them myself to keep myself looking sharp. I think both me and Brad are beardy guys. But we use Harry's blades just to trim everything down because otherwise you're going to get completely unruly and that's not what you want.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. Keep it tight and clean and looking sharp.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yep. I remember. I remember the, the bathroom smelling great.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. Don't leave home without it. You bet. All right. So tell us about some fancy ink you got. I really want to hear about this.
