They have electronics, clothes, shoes, shampoo, make up, bedding, kitchen stuff, etc.<br />I go to the Commiscary because the food is generally cheaper than the regular grocery stores, but almost never go to the PX. Although, I actually went to the PX on Saturday, as well. I bought some running shoes. But otherwise, it's not all that great.<br /><br />And then to get even more complicated, we also have MCSS (military clothing and sales) for uniforms, boots and uniform paraphernalia (pins and rank) and the PXtra for outdoor/garden stuff, toys, furniture, appliances and exercise equipment.<br /><br />I like men's razors, too. I think they work better. It's funny that Charlie shaves in the car. I guess it's just like women putting on their makeup while driving.

I don't know the terms, I don't think.<br /><br />And yes, Charlie has used my pink razors a time or two, but then he switched to an electric so he could shave in the car. Then we were sent a sample of the Fusion razors in the mail, and I liked them, for my legs. It's sad, I know.Sissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05831098254614285216noreply@blogger.com
