    Thank you Joe. I am not a diabetic and the blood sugar is fine. I am one meds for my blood pressure and it is generally in check provided I don't miss the meds. My Tinnitus is going crazy over the last week or so which could be another symptom or cause. I just need to get through this weeks deadlines.

    I only wish that were my car :angry017:

    Really great shave Myles. It's good to finally put a face to the name . If I may make a couple suggestions.... try not to over shave the areas where there is no soap . Add more lather and then go over it again or leave the spots for next pass. Secondly try some skin stretching around jawline . Gradual hair reduction is the key. I'm just speaking from my experience when I first started. Have a great day my friend and I look forward to more vids :)

    Another great shave Joe. I love the Dickinson's also but found the new formula I bought with the blue label smells better....if that makes sense . Could be cause it has a slight menthol scent . Enjoy your day :)

    Well I am glad that I was wrong about the diabetic part. I don't have tinnitus, but I have heard it is quite annoying. I just hope it's the stress of your job that is causing it. I sometimes take 15 min during the day to close my eyes and beeathe slowly but deeply to slow me down. I find that it relaxes and refreshes me. Even if it doesn't solve the headache issue, I think it is a good idea to tune out the world for 15 min.

    My better half has tinnitus and says hers is set off by stress ( not from me );). I sure hope you get to the root cause of your headaches Clint as I stated before when I get them there is no mercy. Hope your day goes well.:)

    Thanks Patrick! TBH, I picked up the Dickenson's witch hazel at my local drugstore. It was the last one so I surmise that they really don't stock it on a regular basis. I have been known to be wrong before. Lol! I would guess the menthol version would be difficult to find near me. I could get it online, but why add shipping ro the cost. When I run low on my wh, then I will look in the local area to replenish it.

    I buy mine at Walmart Joe and the yellow label formula has disappeared. All they stock are blue and pink label.

    Good to know! Next time I am in Walmart's, I will check it out. Thayer's is too expensive!

    Awesome shave this morning with the Occam's Razor V1.0.

    The Yaqi two band badger did an excellent job with the P160 this morning.

    Three smooth passes with the Occam's and the alum was quiet this morning. A little Witch Hazel and a splash of Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Lotion and I am ready for today.

    The Occam's did an excellent job but needs to be amped up. Smooth shave but not as close as I like. I may try the 3 dot plate or move to the Feather Professional Supers. This morning I run the 2 dot plate with the Feather Professional Blades. The Supers are .2mm wider (front to back) and .056mm thicker. Clint @clint64 what blades and plate are you running on your Occam's?

    Hope everyone has a great humpday!

    My thoughts exactly. I may buy alot of stuff lately but I'm still a cheapskate . I like low prices no matter the purchase.

    Lovely shave, Clint! I had headaches near the end of my work career and turned out to be high blood pressure. I’ve been on lisinipril since age 58 with no more headaches. It's worth checking into. Been on Lipitor for cholesterol as well since that checkup. My maternal grandfather died at 61 from heart disease. Might as well take advantage of the medical technology. Feel better, my friend! Been there done that! :(
