Excel can handle millions of rows if he brings the data into PowerPivot.

Random point but Excel sure could use a CONTAINS function for substring matches.

I was looking for something like this yesterday and the solutions I found were quite ugly.

Ended up having to use DSUM/DCOUNT instead which is still inelegant when one has to to multiple lookups with slightly varying parameters.

I bought a handle from eBay for $1.50 shipped from China. The most expensive thing was the brush, which is (or, at least claims to be) badger hair. That was $12 shipped.

My understanding is that different blades suit different complexions. For example, the platinum blades I've tried are too sharp and irritated.

Get a sampler with a few dozen blades for $10-$15. Then get the blade you like for $20 for 100 blades.

Once I switched from a cheap handle to a [$30 Merkur](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NL0T1G/ref=oh_aui_sear...) the experience was much improved. I still use the cheapest blades I can find at [$8/100 blades](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NL0T1G/ref=oh_aui_sear...)
