My Single Mom Life

I asked in the entry below about buying things from the As Seen on TV website or calling the 1-800 #, and said how I was interested in the Twin Draft Guard they sell.

When my post showed up in my Twitter feed, BJByrne said;

@mskat do a google search for a review on anything you are looking to get. A lot of the "as seen on TV" is not the quality you expect.

I was seriously thisclose to purchasing the Twin Draft Guard, the commercial makes it look like it works really awesome, fits any door, only needs like 2 seconds worth of adjustments to make it fit your door perfectly, and the blow dryer test they do really had me convinced that it was exactly the draft dodger that I have been searching for.

But I took BJByrne's advice and did a Google search for "Twin Draft Guard review", and came upon many, many unsatisfied customers.

I also did a search for "Infinity Razor review", because while I was on the As Seen on TV website, they had some special savings if you bought certain products, and one of the deals was like $5 off the Infinity Razor.
I had both items in my cart, ready to purchase based solely on the uber convincing commercials I had seen and the product information on the website, but after doing a search on the razor, I found that it too, is a complete piece of craptastic shit.
They claim that the razor is super sharp, that you'll never need to purchase another one, but I read quite a few reviews from people saying that the blades show up dull fresh out of the package, that it takes 4-5 hard strokes to get even a halfway decent shave, and most people ended up having to use one of their old razors to finish the job.

So I dumped both items from my cart.
I'll have to keep using my caterpillar stuffed animal for a draft dodger for now, and I'll have to keep buying blades for my Venus Embrace razor.
So far, the Venus Embrace razor for women is the best razor I have found to use since having spinal fusion.
The handles are slightly longer than most other razors, men and women's razors alike, and because I can't bend and reach as far as I used to down my legs, can't bend and reach as far as most other women, a longer handled razor is a must.
I even tried duct taping a long wooden ruler to my razors to help me be able to reach lower down my legs, but the tape gets wet and softens after just 2 showers, and the wood also gets wet and softens, and then breaks, and then you get splinters in your hand as well as nicks on your legs because the ruler snapped in half and caused you to slip when the splinter jammed into the palm of your hand.
So not fun at all.
I was hoping the Infinity Razor would be true to it's claim because the handle looked like I could tape a round wooden spoon handle to it, and also because for awhile after surgery I have trouble going shopping for replacement blades, (hell, I have trouble going shopping for anything after having surgery) so the "blades never dull" claim sounded like an awesome thing for me because I have another spine fusion surgery coming up again.
I'll just have to go stock up on Venus Embrace cartridges before I go in for surgery.

Anyway, thanks BJByrne for reminding me to do product reviews first.
I usually do, but I guess the commercial for the Twin Draft Dodger had really permeated every inch of my brain after seeing it a million times, and I was all gung-ho to buy it without question.
