Thread: Which way to stretch?

I'm with you, xman. I'm at the point where most shaves qualify as BBS, but about one time out of 5 after I shave, I cannot detect a single whisker with my hands, no matter how much I stretch, pull, probe, or rub. For some reason, those are the days I seem to be able to handle any difficulty life throws my way. As Buddha said, "A great shave is the start of a great day."

So that was him who said that, eh?

No, it's the calling card of a member over at B&B -- but the wisdom is such, it must have originated with the Buddha... either him or Springsteen.
