Nicked Legs Dont Come Cheap in Paris

Unfortunately I did the math right the first time around. Each Euro I spent cost me US$1.30. The exchange rate wasn't too bad last week. But the cost of razors in Paris was absurd. So at 20 Euro, the pack of 4 disposable plastic gillette razors that chewed up my legs and spit them down the drain into the bowels of paris cost me US$27.00. Thats almost US$7.00 a razor - 5 Euro each.

I should have checked the carry -on luggage rules ahead of time - turns out I could have taken my Venus. Oh why oh why did I leave my razor at home? 20 Euro extra could have got me any of the following:

• 4 cafe au lait at my favorite cafe - Cafe Grand Corona
• 2.5 bottles of pretty darn decent red wine
• 20 pain au chocolate
• 10 baguette
• 4 packs gauloises
• 3 museum admissions
• 3 glasses champagne

Sounds so much better than a scabby leg, oui?

This guy TP apparently loves Gillettes, and says they are a great example of getting what you pay for. Hmm, he should buy them in Europe and see what he thinks?
