SEPT 30 Day Rule/Focus Pic & Discussion Thread

Makes you wonder what the Chinese people actually use to shave with.

 

Head shave:
Schick I1
Schick injector blades (Chinese)
Omega 10066
TSE Shaving Oil
TSE Barber Shoppe
Gold Bond Ultimate
Fantastic shave! Nothing beats a smooth Q-ball!

 

So another day, another shave.
September 5
R41 for a razor, Walgreens club 35 blade, semogue 1250, and the PAA Otra soap. Switched out the AS today with captains choice sandalwood.
So the shave... Yeah I don't know what is going on but i don't like it. I'm on the second blade and think I'll give my face a break tomorrow. Then I'll be switching out back to the GSB. These razors just seem to drag on my face/neck. Couple Weezer I didn't feel on my neck. The irritation though. Paying attention to angle should be paying off more than this lol

 

Thank you. I hope so too but at least if it doesn't work, I will know that I did everything possible to avoid surgery.

 

I'm in big for OCtober as well! I've had but one shave ever with one, New LC and loved it!

( I gotta find a way to shave twice a day!)

 

Ah, sage advice for sure! Thanks for having my back!

 

Now I must go get Ritz crackers

 

That's awesome. I got a tech from him and it's greatness! Very slick on the face.

 

Razor: Valet Auto Strop/ Red Tip(5) Feather blade)
Blade: Feather (1)
Brush: Frendrihen Silver Tip Badger Faux Black Ebony Handle 22/49
Bowl: Yokohama Studio
Cream: Proraso
A/S: Old Spice
Day 5

Changed the blade in the Valet tonight and got a very good shave. Once again I pulled the blade back a touch and made 2 passes with it. Still having to use the Red Tip around the chin and jaw. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. The Old Spice is amazing. Forgot to include the brush in the picture tonight. Same brush as yesterday.

 

I hope the injections work for you. By the time I finally went in last year, the doctor gave me a less than 5% chance of success with injections. I went straight to surgery. I am still dealing with some loss of strength and numbness in my leg. Do you have a herniated disc?

 

I may have commented in the past, but that bowl is great!

 

Thanks, my wife bought it for me. I like because it is really deep. Very easy to whip up a great lather. Probably good for soup also.

 

I've found that pretty much everything taste good on a Ritz. My favorite would be peanut butter and jelly, or ham and cheese, or........

 

Peanut butter and jam for me. Jelly is good also.

 

The very bottom vertebrae has slipped down and forward 10mm or so pinching the nerve. This is causing a lot of pain in the lower back and pain shooting down both legs. The bottom 3 are all effected but not as bad as the bottom one. If I have to have surgery, the it will be a spinal fusion.

I hope you continue to get better and things improve for you.

 

How you are feeling better soon.

 

Thanks Doug. I am sure it will all work out for the best in the end. God willing.

 

Prayer lamp is lit up here.

 

That is worse than what I had. The doctor basically went in and did a Roter Rooter on the disc to ease the pressure on the nerve. It definitely helped the pain I was having at the time, but I now have a disc that is severely damaged, so I get more back pain than I had. Overall, it has been an improvement, it is just different than I had before.

 

@clint64 and @Norcalnewb I hope there will be some resolution to the back issues you are suffering that will allievate the pain.
