Strange But True

The Rite-Aid by my house keeps razors under lock and key, my Gillette Sensor 3s in a cabinet behind glass just like they were XBox games at Target. I was curious, so I asked one of the clerks why I had to get assistance just to buy a disposable resource.
   Evidently there's a huge black market in razors, at least on Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena. The clerk told me they have to keep razors almost under armed guard because homeless guys steal them, then sell the razors on the street.
    Who knew? Instead of handing these guys a buck or two, maybe I'll give them a fresh razor, it's probably worth more to them.
