Re: DX
I can see why folks like the Japanese style shavers. For me, I've gotten fond of having scales as part of my grip. And, the built-in edge protection.

Re: Health
No doubt my extra tonnage is a contributor to the sleep issue. 5 years back, I was driving to the same hospital (not quite) enjoying my final cigarette during my heart attack. In the immediate months following I dropped a nice bit of weight, then....... I puffed like a finely whipped lather of homo sapiens tallow.

Even though abandoned my desk job to get back to a more active position in manufacturing I remain fatter-en-ell. I figure a plant based diet might cure it.

Will remain in prayer..... for victory throughout their trying times.

No Repeat November

Good morning!

Excellent shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Nearly silent alum.

My initial lathering attempt was a failure. I added too much water too fast. Easily cured by a return trip to the puck.

Have a great Sunday!

 

Ahh. The love of our companions.

 

I'm a lucky man.

 

Thank you, Charlie!

It's supposed to be quite healthy yeah. Black tea has some health benefits too. I tea pretty much daily, especially when the weather is cold. But i still prefer coffee. Black. Now i have been drinking instant, because i'm really lazy. And i loaned my coffee pot to my grandmother, as she managed to ruin the one she had.

 

Hah. That is some sage advice. For longer than I care to remember, I have been in a position requiring the bottom line at work. The directness has since entered other facets of my life. Also after a few thousand DE/SE shaves debating countless nuances, I just don't have a whole lot to say some times.

 

Ok, guys, I get it! First shave with my new/old Cooper Monobilt! Effortless three pass BBS. I’m in love with a 90 yr old razor! Go figure! Did not do the dome today; it’s still healing from it’s fracas with the OneBlade. It should be ready for the Jones Shakesharp tomorrow. What a great shave! I could hear the Cooper singing as it mowed down my whiskers. Great razor! I’ve been using Suneko blades for the last week or so! They’re great! Sharp and smooth! I prefer them over Polsilvers. And price-wise, 10 bucks for 100! Can’t beat that with a stick.

Congrats on the great shave with your new Monobilt!

 

Thanks Bill. We really do appreciate the prayers, and they definitely make a difference.

Congrats on kicking the cigarette habit. That took some real determination. I'm sure you'll find a healthy lifestyle that works for you. I love to eat, and it's been a constant battle for me over the years too. I still have occasional wipe outs, but I don't beat myself up over it. I just try to get back on the plan. The sleep apnea, the blood clots I had last year, and racking up a few more miles on the odometer have caused me to rethink a few things. We keep a ton of fruit on hand these days, and that seems to satisfy my sweet tooth.

Keep rockin' the DX, and I may eventually join you. I found a few eBay sellers with some good deals...
