This shave was planned for Saturday, but it did not occur. On Friday, I had an episode, and my wife ended up calling 911. My blood pressure hit about 200/100. I was taken to the hospital where eventually I got into a room at 3AM Saturday morning. So, no Saturday shave.

I had a head CT, EKG, MRI, Echo cardiogram, a ultrasound of my carotids, blood work and urinalysis. I got checked out every way possible. Good news is, They could not find anything out of the norm. I spent Saturday night and consulted with the neurologist today. I must say, they have been thorough. What it boiled down to was hypertensive encephalopathy. That is a mouth full that makes two days in the hospital sound more reasonable. The high blood pressure ended up causing weird feelings and confusion. I think this was coming on from Thursday and came to a head Friday afternoon. I could not describe what was going on and they initially thought maybe a stroke, TIA, or some form of seizure. All that was ruled out, but by Saturday afternoon, I was feeling more like myself. My blood pressure slowly came down and today it was back to my normal except the bottom number was still high.

I am home now and have showered and got clean clothes on. I have not shaved to day, and I may just wait until Monday. It is good to be home. I apologize for not checking in, but my phone is dumb, and my computer was at home where I could not access it. Again, it is great to be back.

Just the Basics June/Just for Fun June - take your pick

June 10
Razor - Fatip Piccolo
Blade - (2)
Soap - Soap Commander Vision
Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
Post - Alum

Second night with the Vision soap from Soap Commander. Definitely a nice strong scent, heavy on the mint but the other notes come through nicely as well. I'm thinking I prefer the Fortitude scent to this one, though this isn't bad. Maybe the mint just puts me more in mind of Christmas or something. Not complaining, but this may not be my favorite after I try more. The soap itself, as far as its performance - I'll never complain about that. Perfect lather, exceptional slickness, excellent cushion and the after shave feel is awesome as always.

Two passes with the Fatip and Sharp Star to a near-BBS and that's all I need. Another classic.

Hope your week gets off to a grand start! We are adding new beds to the floor this week so it's been a busy time in the showroom. Working my muscles instead of my brain. Ouch!

Blackbird/Bic. I may get used to it with practice but I find the 70mm Blackbird handle hard to manage on my head shave. The Mamba handle is a good interim solution. A much easier shave.
