It's Pirate's Day. Bay Rum for all! As you can see at least I have enough Bay Ray to last me for a while. Hate to run out of that. I might mutiny myself. Can I do that? I chose today's products for variety and personal favorites. The Shave Den Bay Rum Soap in honor of JoAnna, the Ogallala products for their outstanding scents, and the Saint Charles Shave Bay Rum with a Twist for it's striking subtleness. I know that sounds like a paradox but, it's one of those things where it has an outstanding scent but doesn't do it in a way that makes people say things like "you put too much cologne on." I one passed the Feather ACD-N with a little touchup since I wanted to extend the shave by using the Merkur 34G for the other passes. I had so much nice lather in the bowl that I wanted to use it up. Now, time to go pet my parrot and drink some rum. Yo Ho!
Wow! I had planned on TSD's BR soap this morning. Decided to try SUPERLATHER instead. JoAnna's Bay Rum Soap AND BR cream! Man oh man! GOBS of lather and a truly outstanding shave! After all the good things many of us have said about JoAnna's soaps, this trumps 'em all! And that was with a 5-day old Feather! Buy more!! TSDSSAD is good!
I'm alive. Tired, and no depth perception, but I'm alive. Hopefully, I can give a full report tomorrow, if my vision improves. Thanks everyone for the kind thoughts and words. :love029
Okay - no driving for you!! Oh, and try to avoid stairs if possible! Seriously, JoAnna, glad to hear you made it through what had to be a very tough day. Let us know when you can actually see the keyboard...or my avatar!!
I ate at ARRRRBYS today, does that count? :rofl Actually, I used TSD bay rum soap, and TSD bay rum AS
I hope your feeling and seeing better today. My prayers are with you. Oh, and I did have a slight eye irritation (in your honor) last night, and I'm fine today, so I hope you are too!!! Susie
Eyesights a little fuzzy today. Very disorientating feeling. Not to mention I seem to have better vision in my right eye, than I did before yesterday. But my left eye is weaker, and my glasses seem half useless now. I need a monocle. Call me Mr. Peanut. :ashamed001
New avatar? Seriously, JoAnna, did the doc give you any indication that this might happen? Hopefully it's temporary until the eye recovers from the trauma.
I figure some swelling still needs to go down. I certainly don't mind improved vision, but I already have glasses, and don't want to have to buy new ones, yet.
