    It's 2:27am PST I couldn't sleep any longer, my knee is throbbing, I wasn't able to straighten it out all night :( I think I'll shave later with a stool in the bathroom:signs002:
    I'm hoping to get into my orthopedic surgeon/Doctor today or tomorrow.

    Sorry to hear that. I had hoped the swelling and pain would go down during the night. Maybe you can get an appointment quickly.

    I'm hoping Clint, my right is so damaged my surgeon says it's a knee of a 90 year old man. I've had major knee issues for the last 7 years.

    Thank you Bill! I'll have more information later on today, for now I'm icing and staying off my knee. My wonderful wife is setting up my old shaving table, when I was bedridden for a year. So I'll be shaving shortly. :happy088:

    Ouch! Sad to read this, hope it will feel better soon. Can't give you any advice on meds, normally I would recommend a good whisky or bourbon but you'll have to decide which one will have the best effect.
    Be well soon!

    1954 (Z1) Gold Tech
    Vulfix Super Badger (660)
    Proraso Sandalwood cream
    Aqua Velva Ice Blue

    Shave #2 with the Gillette 7 O’clock Super Platinum (Black) in my Gold Tech. Near BBS shave.
    Face lathered, then did 2 full passes: Pass 1 WTG on my face and XTG on my neck (top to bottom today). Pass 2: ATG. A solid DFS at this point. Tried to pay attention to the angle of attack to try to get better reduction from my passes, and was rewarded with less touch up to do. Did a cold water rinse followed by some targeted touch up in my problem areas. Decided that I would not be aggressive today and just let the razor do its work or accept things if it wouldn't.

    Another near BBS from the Tech and the Gillette 7 O’clock Black. A more enjoyable shave than yesterday because I didn't worry about catching the baby. I think I actually got a slightly closer shave than yesterday. At least, I only feel the hint of some stubble in one of my trouble spots.

    I have pain meds. Even those aren't working. I've been through this before. It's disheartening.
