Agree, every barber shop has those.  But I am wondering if when the OP says single style, he means what we in the USA call a single edge.  Only one edge, and very useful for scraping labels, cleaning paint off glass, etc, and less danger of cutting your fingers when using them.  Also the metal of the blade is thicker and stronger than the double edge blades so it does not flex.

If that is what he means then they had them here in Dumaguete at the Lee plaza Hypermart complete with a handle which allowed several different applications for using the blade.

I think I paid about 45 pesos for 3 blades and the handle.

You got it, I'm referring to these.  They are useful in oh so many ways.

Corona? I can't imagine wanting Corona when San Miguel is available. IMHO San Miguel is the equal of Corona and Heineken.

I'd take San Mig all day long before a Corona but I would prefer a Heineken to either.  That said, it's twice the price here - I don't like it that much to reduce my consumption by half!

Most of it is available but very expensive, kind of defeats the point of living in a 3rd world country lol. e.g Tesco mayonnaise 150 pesos in SM here, about 40 pesos in the UK.
Not sure if 'Lady's choice' was a serious suggestion but that stuff is vile, I used to find the Tesco mayonnaise vile in the UK but it's 10x nicer than Lady's choice lol.

The San Mig is pretty yummy.  When I'm at the in-laws its usually Gold Eagle.  Around the house, San Mig Pilsen.  Never was a big Heineken fan.  But I do enjoy Corona when we happen by S&R.

I like SM Pilsen too. Never tried Gold Eagle will give it a try next visit.

I thought Corona in Mexico was like Fosters in Australia? Locals didn't drink it - they preferred others.

I think San Miguel is a superior beer with several different versions - try the Super Dry. And it is not expensive either...

I like Heineken, but it's not worth the price difference to me - San Mig is fine!

Fosters isn’t really sold in Australia because sales were so bad, despite I being the internationally known ‘Aussie beer’.  Honestly... it’s pretty bad.

San Miguel Pilsen works fine for me.
