== Harry's Shave Cream ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' Today's show is brought to you by Harry's. Harry's was started by just a couple of guys, Jeff and Andy, who were fed up of being overcharged for razors. So they decided to fix it. They went ahead and bought a factory of 100 years of blade making experience so they could not only make their own products, but that they would be high quality as well. Then sell them online and ship directly for half the price. With Harry's, you'll be used to just paying $2 a blade compared to the $4 you may be paying when you go and buy from the jailhouse drugstore as they lock everything away. Harry's razors include everything you need for a close, comfortable shave. They have a weighted ergonomic handle, five precision engineer blades of a lubricating strip and trimmer blade, and travel blade cover as well. And Harry's have all of the extras you need, like amazing shave gel or cream. Brad, what is your favorite of all of Harry's extras?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' It's the shave cream. And I have a travel pro tip that I just realized that I do as I was packing for Little Rock this week. The shave cream that I use now comes in two sizes. So I order one medium for every two larges that I use because the medium just stays. It's the perfect travel size. So it stays in my travel kit. I don't use it except when I travel and I don't have to hunt down or lug a big, you know, big tube of shave cream or any other product with me. So keep that medium in the travel kit and it's good to go. So that's what I do.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Harry's is so confident in the quality of their blades. They want you to try their shave set for free.

'''Matt Armstrong:''' And allow me to say I'm going to probably go over and sign up for Harry's as soon as we're done here because I have been using one of the other subscription services and I'm not particularly happy with the quality of the blades. So I'm excited to give them a try. You've got to. Come on. If for no other reason to have me on the show, it's to finally switch me over to Harry's.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That's awesome. The podcast is, you know, all of our guests, it's just like a slow march towards moving them over. That's all this is. This is just a shell, really, this show. Mission accomplished.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That's right. Well, our good friend Scott, who is in the chat room and on Slack, this is the paper late segment of the podcast where he submitted six questions for Matt. I'll see if I can get through all of them here because I have some other questions from other people I want to hit. But there are he had some very interesting ones that I wanted to discuss. And that starts with the first one he submitted. He said, does Brad ever think about doing videos? And does Matt ever think about doing a podcast? So what do you think about that, Matt?

'''Matt Armstrong:''' I have not thought about doing a podcast because why would I try to compete with you guys? No one can compete with us. All right. Exactly. I let you know right now. You're so far ahead of me right now. No, I've done podcasts before and I enjoy them. But I really I love the video format and I don't feel like I could do anything better on a podcast than you guys are already doing. So to me, it's an additional voice. Yeah. Yeah. I I don't see that there's a need for it for me anyway. I you know, if someone else wants to do a podcast, I won't stop them. But you guys do such a great job. I'm not sure what the point would be.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, the thing is, if anybody wants to do a podcast, we will try to stop them. Like, I think I need to make there is there is room for just one pen show.

'''Matt Armstrong:''' And it is this one. Why do I have this vision in my head of like a Jets and Sharks West Side Story style rumble at a pen show? I just could totally happen. Yeah. Myke and Brad snapping and creeping toward each other using Bob Fosse choreography. I've got this vision in my head. I think we need to make that happen at the DC show this year. Definitely, definitely need to make that happen.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' We can we can totally swing that. The YouTubers versus the podcasters. I don't know which side would Myke be on. He's kind of he's kind of turning on me. Podcast forever, baby. That's right. That's right. Me doing videos. It's it's it's very much the same thing that Matt said. There's no way like I look up to Matt's like technical acumen and quality of content. Like that's like the gold standard is like, why would I want to embarrass myself? It's hard. It's hard to do.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's hard to learn, you know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. Plus, I have all of these time commitments already and knowing how much time Matt puts into that like that. I could never do that just with all the I mean, just planning on the podcast alone. Myke knows how that goes. It's you know, a lot of times it's late and last minute because just of the time commitment it takes, which makes Matt's work even more impressive, Scott. So, yeah. But I think about it all the time and realize that I'm never going to do that. And if I do anything, it'd be, you know, live Instagram or live Facebook things, you know, where I can just fly off the handle and not script out and plan.

'''Matt Armstrong:''' Yeah, I love doing that stuff.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I started watching yours and I was like, I need to do this more. That just looks like fun. Like I did Periscope for a while, but the Instagram stuff looks very, very simple and easy to use.

'''Matt Armstrong:''' Yeah. And it's just fun. It's one of those. I've got half an hour. I'm not doing anything. Let me make my bed. So the background looks like I've got my life together as an adult. And then I go, you know, sit there and just answer questions and chat for half an hour. It's fun. I enjoy doing that kind of stuff.
