Its a waiting game for death.

Ahh mate, I'm so sorry to hear that. That really sucks for all of you. I hope you can all find the strength to get through this incredibly difficult time.

Sorry to hear that Nick. I got the same news today. My bud was just put in Hospice and taken off Chemo as it isn't working. Can't eat and is in constant pain. Down to 128Lbs....
Paul

...and to you also Paul. I'll be thinking of you brother.

Es-Ex 3118 6/8.
New Forest 2201.
Ingram sc
Thayers Lemon WH.
Floid Vigoroso a/s.
444 a/s balm.
Floris Vetiver Edt.

A cooling menthol shave with the Ingram, Floid and 444. Two passes and a jaw and neck touch-up yielded another fantastic shave. And today will be better than yesterday.

Location: Sydney Australia
Brush: Comoy Badger
Soap: Col. Conk's Shave Soap
DE: Gillette Tech
Blade: Feather
I'm travelling pretty light, didnt bring any balms or after shaves. Had a 7 hour road trip today from Coffs Harbour down to Sydney and along the way threw the gear on the roof of the car for tonights pic.
Result: A brand new Feather blade is a beautiful thing.
Just 2 passes on the head shave for me tonight and I'm almost BBS. (I never seem to get a perfect BBS on the head)
My head is shiny smooth like a cue ball and I'm ready to live up to my user name at the Sydney meet-up in the morning.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics gentlemen. Keep 'em coming
Grant
