The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

Glad to see you in happy spirits man! And love that Old Type - it was one of my first DEs in the den during my first year of wet shaving. I would revisit it but I loaned it to someone and that person POOFed on TOF. Very odd to me.

Used a sample of B&M Reserve Classic, that was sent to me by Shave Pastor. Performance was great. Nice gel-like lather. Scent was not great. I was told it is supposed to smell like Gillette Sun Up, which I don't think it does. I enjoy the Sun Up aftershave.... but I just felt the soap was stinky.

Anyway, I'm going to be pretty light on the forum through the weekend. I'm prepping for the Kansas City Wet Shaver's Meet-Up and have a lot to do. I've got tons of donations coming in from vendors, I need to get together all of my stuff for the BST table, and I have to go shop for food and start prepping as much as I can.

I'm prepping as if we are going to have 20-30 people there, and I really hope I'm not over doing it. I have things going on tonight and tomorrow evening, and I really hope I have enough time to get it all done. Kinda starting to feel stressed out about it now.

Thanks for asking. I had a follow up with the Surgeon last Friday. No much happened there, he just looked at my incision, and released me to go back to work, with no restrictions. Been busy with work, and after work stuff (planning and un-planning for the meetup), so haven't been on much.

I went to the endocrinologist on Wednesday. She ordered some blood work. Based on one of them she upped my Synthroid form 75 to 150, and told me to take a Vitamin D3 supplement. Still waiting on some of the labs they had to send out. These will tell her if we need to do a Radioactive Iodine treatment. If not, I'll go back for my next follow up in about 3 months.
