I am trying. I hate everything this disease has taken from me. I hate admitting this but there are times where I feel so humiliated and degraded that I do fall apart and honestly break down in tears. On average I get about 3 hours of broken sleep a night because I'm in and out of the restroom. And God forbid if I crash hard and dont wake running to the restroom. I am tormented by this disease daily. That is why I have taken to this community so much. For those 20 min or so I have peace. I have tranquility. I dont have to stress out over this. I am hopeful that when I see my dr next week I'll get antibiotics and this will get better. I'm hoping I have pouchitis cause that is easy fix.

 

OK, first DE shave in probably about 45 years so I had to write @twhite and @jimjo1031 for any tips. Both recommended a setting at 2. I thought I had some Voskhod blades from a PIF that I never used years ago but must have passed them on. I did find some NOS Schick Platinum Teflon Coated blades a seller tossed in with some Schick injector blades years ago. So, after a clean up and bath the razors were ready and so was I.

First things first. I introduced the TARS to their cousins from another branch of the family tree. The Bunnies and TARS hit it off right away and a good time was had by all.



OK, time for that long delayed DE shave. I picked the black aluminum TARS and sallied forth. Right from the start it was smooth and easy. Turns out 2 was a great choice of a setting. I tried out 3 on the other side of my face and it was OK but not quite as smooth. I really like the large handle and ribs. Really easy to grip and maneuver. And quick. Just like that, two days of growth were erased and I’m looking forward to picking up the heavy brass TARS in a couple of days.



Happy shaving - Karl

The dice have spoken! I took Queen of Blades’ recommendation and added a die for the soap. Needed a 20-sided...

***EDIT - 1 pass + extensive clean up. BBS. Excellent results. I'm really digging today's bath, shave and scent. Unfortunately, I have to work this weekend on-call, but today's refreshing grooming set makes me feel like going to a park and getting into the early-Summer outside.

 

Great shave! That Adidas actually pairs well with the La Toja soap.
