Ramblings of a MilkCrate

You'll be fine in a couple of days. You're not as spry as you once were, but they don't make milk crates like you anymore. Definitely see a doctor if things don't get better by the weekend.

And nice shave!

I still have a couple of the old steel ones, I'll never get rid of those!

I agree about the doc recommendation, little stuff can become big stuff quickly.

The Process-
TGITHMF! Great shave this morning. I did switch from the Black Diamond to the Henckels, that was given to me by the same friend. SV all the way this morning from soap and aftershave to brush. I hit the soap for a 20 second load time and whipped up a really wet lather. It was a bit wetter than normal, but it settled down nicely and smelled great.

10 laps on cotton and 50 on the leather and it was go time. I do think I need to tighten the hinge pin just a smidge. I went with my standard three passes of WTG, XTG and ATG with no drama to report. That was a very nice and relaxing shave. The scent carried throughout the shave and was nice and unobtrusive. Yes my friends a smooth, comfortable shave was had and I am BBS for the win! I also had a bit of lather left for a post shave while I cleaned my shave gear.

Wrapped everything up with a quick rinse and pat dry. A healthy splash of the AS and everything was right as rain! A great start to my Friday. Life is good!
