Ditto. Back pain is a real bear. I had a similar problem many years ago. I finally had to go to a sports medicine specialist, undergo physical therapy to strengthen my abdominal muscles and lose about 20 lbs. before I began feeling better.

My prayers for your speedy recovery.

Patience my dear grasshopper. Patience, LOOOOOOOL. Tomorrow, it shall be revealed.

The boys and girls who work at the AOS stores are as useless as tits on a bull

Another fine shave with the Cattaraugus Cutlery which I recently touched up with a barber's hone. The La Toja soap is terrific, another extinct product that always worked well. Why do they always seem to stop making great products? The Woods of Windsor Edt is another such example. And today will be better than yesterday.

Hey Nathan,
That is a great question...I often ask myself that. I wish I had an answer. Great shave buddy

It was teamed with Body Shop Maca Root cream, my SRP Thater fan and Thayers original.

EF,
Have a safe drive and congratulations on a beautiful acquisition. May you use it in good health. Merry Christmas

PS: Hope the earthquake in NZ didn't affect you and family
