Look Jeff, I like for you to do what you like....But that Flu business has to stop. I'll give you the rest the day and thats it !! No more Flu !! OKKK ?

 

Good to hear that you found something to use when your CTS flairs up, and I'll remember your posts and review for future reference for those that suffer from it.

:sihns011 Get to feeling better soon Jeff!

Thanks, folks--I haven't been sick like this, and for so long in years.

 

Have you tried the hot as you can stand it bath then pile on a bunch of coats and blankets and sleep for 12 hours trick?

My Grandpa swears by it. You basically end up giving yourself a temporary fever and cooking the bugs to death...

 

Prayin' for a quick healing, my man.

Shave Of The Day - September 24th

• TSD ISZ Pre-Shave Balm - :freezing :freezing
• Hot Shower
• E.J. Badger Brush
• Lathering Bowl
• Proraso Red - :freezing
• Schick Injector - Easy Rider Edition
• Vintage Schick Platinum Coated Blade - Day 1
• Thayers Witch Hazel/Osage Rub Mix
• Brut Aftershave Splash + 2 drops M-Bomb - :freezing :freezing
• 

With all the talk of injectors floating around here lately I decided to pull this never used by me Easy Rider model out of my "razor box", clean it up and give it a whirl, resulting in a pretty nice shave

The Schick razor/blade combo worked pretty well, leaving just a few hairs like I normally experience when I use a later model injector, but the great Proraso cream and Brut scent pulled this up to a 4.5 blade shave.

 

Yeah, bring a hookah too while you're at it

 

Holy Tie-Dye Batman!
