1OldGI,

Been there...Done that. Get well soon.

If you're coughing up green phlegm, however, you probably have an infection, which can lead to serious complications, ie. pneumonia. I would strongly recommend a visit to your M. D. for some antibiotics.

Well, like they say, you can't keep a good man down. Woke up feeling not 100% but at least 100% better than yesterday. Minus shave and shower yesterday I felt like I was absolutely filthy so a long hot shower and a good shave was just what the doctor ordered.

Today; Weary; Dreary, and leaden sky. The Shave: Great, the big old one sider did a real number on my facial fuzz. Took a while to get it honed !!! The Arco was face lathered and the leftover bowl lathered. That is a BIG brush! It is stiff but not scritchy. The after wards were perfect for the shave!

The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!

It was do or die time for this razor today, I have honed it 4 times previously and been frustrated with the shaves.
After the last shave I found the edge had crumbled near the toe
Today I put my heart and sole into honing this, I added an extra layer of tape and bingo I nailed it!
2 pass shave, it went through bristles like a Filly should. Lovely and smooth & the edge has held good. I am very happy today
