    Not yet but they said about three weeks. I've been in camp with my coach so that's why I haven't posted much but next weekend I'll leave it all out on the stage.

    Check out the npc night of the Champions 2016 for results on Saturday night or Sunday morning

    I don't think i'm ever cutting again. My last cut was some time last year, i went down to about 8% body fat and was dizzy when standing up and angry all the time from caloric deficit. Looked great, felt like crap everytime! :)

    I know your pain. And I sympathize with you whole heartedly. I'm taking a break after this for a while to finish my degree and work on my advancement

    I can understand your need to do so as a competitor but i always just did to land more chicks and to look good at the beach. I'm naturally pretty defined, i'm done torturing myself, not worth it buddy. :)

    Good morning friends. Today i shaved with my new to me SS Jared by Soap of The Gods which i was enabled to buy thanks to my friend William aka @White731. It's fantastic! It smells of some beautiful high end cologne and whips up easily into some creamy protective, heavenly goodness:love029:. William :thanks:. I also tried out the Wilkinson Sword blade for the first time thanks to my buddy Andrew aka @Linuxguile :thanks:. I really had high hopes for this blade but found it tuggy in my R41 and after two full passes i had to toss it for a GSB to finish off this shave. First time...damn three firsts in one shave! Using the Stirling Glacial Spearmint after shave splash. It's dreamy! Crazy cold and smells just like spearmint gum. :love055: BBS finish, have a great shave and a great weekend guys. :)

    Good morning everyone. This was such a wonderful shave, Glacial MITA is a knockout punch of a menthol blast! Very easy load in seconds, face lathered to a voluminous slick, cushiony, tropical smelling goodness.:love055: The Red Tip is such a joy to use, efficient yet smooth. Dolphin smooth 3 pass shave, outstanding! The Glacial Lemon Lime balm added another layer of freeze while the Glacial Spearmint splash sent me into hypothermia. Beautiful :love029: Have a wonderful shave and a wonderful day friends. :)

    Great shave brother, I just tried something this morning and it was glorious. 50/50 mix of the glacial balm and glycerin with 2ml of m-bomb as a pre shave oil. Freezing cold but oh so enjoyable

    Good morning friends. I felt like a surgeon with a scalpel this morning as I wielded this E2. Precise, exacting, easy to get the under the nose whiskers, the tricky jawline and corner of the mouth whiskers...gone! Vanished! Three easy passes with angles adjusted for my growth and I'm dolphin smooth. Do yourselves a favor and get an injector guys...you'll thank me. Wonderful lather from my Arko stick PIF'ed graciously to me by my friend Chris aka @Bama Samurai. :thanks: buddy. Some say Arko isn't slick enough...work on your water ratio, i say. Have a great shave and a great day guys. :)

    Jim,

    I did a cold water shave today with a menthol soap. Very cold and, I have to admit, not too bad. I'd tried cold water shaving before and wasn't particularly impressed, but this was just fine. I know most exclusive clubs have an initiation so my question is what qualifications do you have to meet to be a member of FCWS?

    As long as you enjoy a cold water shave regularly you're in @Herm2502, doesn't need be everyday! :)
