Thread: This is bad, very bad.

I knew there was a reason I shouldn't lose any weight.

yea maybe some inflatable bladders to put under the skin that way your face would never change.

Maybe, to match my thinner face I need a thinner blade. Maybe I'll throw away all my blades bigger than 6/8s.

I was going to suggest that very thing, I'll PM my address so that they can be disposed of safely.

Dear big... ,

Over about the last 3 years I've also worked at losing weight and have dropped about 60 lbs. I figured that I had to try something to ease the strain on hip and knee joints going south. It seems to have worked, so far. Interestingly, my hat size changed too - not as much as my belt size, but I'm now more just a meat head than the fat head I used to be. However, since the change has been slow I haven't had to deal with changes in shaving routines and angles of attack, etc. Good luck with your adaptive procedures.

Cheers

Spendur,

FWIW You kill me! Congrats on your weight loss, hopefully this will keep you around alot longer. My dad used to call me the last of the big spenders! Champagne taste on a beer pocketbook...when I saw your handle it brought back a bunch of good memories. Thanks.

Health be damned! Time to bulk up again for BBS!

Just kidding. Congrats on the weight loss!

Now you know how I feel, TBS. I watched some youtube videos.. and was unimpressed. Not only are the videos not at a high enough resolution to see if they really did get a close shave quickly, but the rounded nature of their faces made it much easier than us non-big-fat-hogs have to contend with.

Funny this should come up. I recently came to the conclusion that I would be the world's worst sick old man so I figured I should do something to not be a sick old man. My last visit to the Dr. was pretty disappointing, not only am I currently on blood pressure and cholesterol meds, he says my blood sugar is getting pretty shady as well. He asked if there was any history of diabetes in my family and I replied, "No, Doc, my folks have always been heart attack, stroke or emphasyma people." My flippant remark of course was only intended to hide the fact that alot of what he was saying was really kind of scary. I decided then and there that I was done being a fat, sick old man. I started a 5 day a week PT program and I'm currently down about 16 lbs from my last doctor visit. The difference in how I feel is amazing and while I've still got plenty of weight left to lose, I'm confident it will come off in time. The ultimate goal is to return to my active duty conditioning and weight (well as close to that as I can get) hopefully I can get off some of these meds with such a program. It would sure be nice to just take a multivitamin and a fish oil supplement and call it good. I'm nowhere near ready to begin training yet but in the next couple years, I'd like to run a marathon. I did one in 1990 and it was the coolest thing ever. For now though, I'm content to just go out and do a slow waddle for a half an hour five days a week but I'll get there. I haven't notice any changes in my face yet (at the moment the weight seems to be coming off of the barley and hops storage reservoir.)

I've gotten the DE adapted no problem and the WTG strokes with the straight are OK but it's the across and against that I need to work on. The other day I was using a spike and I discovered I have this big depression to the right of my adams apple that wasn't there before. Funny how I didn't notice that but that spike sure did. That sure did smart-Har har.

I solve the problem by shaving right after a shower with just a towel wrapped around me and my feet slightly apart. But I hear the gravity ain't strong enough for everybody, so YMMV, har-har
