That's the right prioroty :) I guess you couldn't do it without her backing you up, and besides yourself, your close ones are often you worst/best critics.

Andrew,
Man...RA is a very debilitating condition. Humidity and the cold are not a good thing for it either. I feel your pain brother and hope that it goes away. A couple of natural remedies that I have found to be very good for arthritis in general are: (1) garlic and (2) ginger. Depending n how bad, they can work wonders (not overnight though)
You know it brother

Cheers,

Nice set up! Do you know what material the scales are made of? Thanks!
I like the scales on the razor! What are made of? I need to make some scales and am brainstorming. Thanks!

A fine shave but I think the hones are calling to this razor, it was my best performer but has been used enough now to have just gone off the boil. That and my honing abilities have improved so the benchmark is rising.
Monday
A day off work today. Trimmed the hedge and then walked up to the top of Mt Torrens. Years ago I could do this in 20:59, but today it took me 35:39. It gets really steep towards the end, so much so that you need to use your hands as well as your feet to climb up the rocky path. I wasn’t going to shave today but after this walk I felt so good I decided to anyway.
As it was quite warm today, I went for a cold water shave; as cold as I could make the water (I put some ice in it). The Überlather I made with Proraso, ‘Shave’ cream and glycerine was quite cold when I applied it to my face. The shave itself was excellent, the edge of the Burrell is perfect; it really is. I’ve had this razor since I started to SR shave and it’s fulfilling to know I can keep such a nice edge on it.
After the shave (which was two full passes, WTG and ATG, to absolute perfection - no hair anywhere) I rubbed my skin with an ice cube until the ice cube completely melted, then applied the Floïd AS that I’m enjoying so much lately. I know for you guys going through such a cold snap where you live the idea of rubbing ice on one’s face will make you shiver!
