    Poor Kitten. I put the stuff on and went for a motorcycle ride. I thought I would die from the smell inside the helmet. The thing still stunk the next time I put it on.

    Jim99 Gold Water Shaver

    I definitely like the first one on your hit list
    Wow! That sounds like some kind of a torture chamber. Did you replace the helmet? And, more importantly, did you pour Pinaud down the drain?

    No the helmet eventually aired out thank goodness. Yes it went down the drain.

    Please, not another "old man's" smell comment. Please tell us what an "old man" smells like. I am 68 and do not consider myself old or "smelly". I believe something can smell awful and not like an "old man". Not overly sensitive; just a proud senior citizen.

    I thought it would be a good one coming from RR but it happens, I've had the same issues with most OC's.

    Not to worry Kerry...the rake works great for me. I got a nice BBS yesterday with it. I paired it with a lighter handle and focused on holding the angle. It has a sweet spot...
