I don't know who makes the Green Pond branded cream (rumor has it DR Harris does) but MAN, what a wonderfully performing Sandalwood! Scent is pretty much a dead ringer for the DR Harris Sandalwood splash, so it layers quite well.. but I wasn't feeling that this morning, so I didn't.

This was the Last shave of 2007 :sad024

Guess What it was also the BEST shave of 2007 :confused::confused:

I will leave it to others why or how this came to be but its odd !

- Super Hot Bath Olive soap Bar 2 in 1 coconut shampoo , SFH pre-shave oil into beard. soaking for 15-18m into bath.

-Parker Razor 71R (new 3 piece design 1st Use) +fresh Derby Extra
-Muhle Superbadger.
-Godrej SC (India 1st use ) /3 passes
-Element by Boss a/s
-Aqua velva a/s
-Musgo Real a/s balm.
-Sanex body moisturiser

This Razor is not for beginners it has an extreme exposure of the blade any slip up could do great damage hence I didnt start with the Feather blade.
Nice razor for the more experienced shavers.....

A shave this close I was sure id be getting a major sting from the aftershave well ZERO so its a big :confused::confused: to me either im not awake or still dreaming... ::

EEK! :eek: The Treet blade was not a nice experience! This was the first time I tried it and was awful! An experience I won't revisit anytime soon. I have had excellent shaves with the razor before with Feathers, Bics and IPs, so I can't blame the razor (Actually, quite the contarary as this is slowly becoming a favourite razor of mine (not THE favourite, but A favourite...); Easy to handle, nice feel.. maybe a bit on the light side.).

Happy 2008 to everyone!

I might have shaved today after working the day from 8 am till 5 pm.

It is a new policy of the company to be open on a saturdays now , we are 3 people doing this so we rotate the saturday this amounts to me doing once every 3 months 2 saturdays in a month and the other 2 months 1 saturday.

anyways im not a morning person so this was a rough start of the New Year doing two days 7am till 3:30 PM then on saturdays its 8am so then I can sleep an hour longer but I woke up 4AM kinda nervous because I left my blackberry at work and I use that as an alarm clock to wake me up. back to sleep for 3 hours then up again..

Anyways as I left work to get some groceries at the local shop im done in 15m then drove off to the local Egypt at the place where I live , all within a 30m time window I come home start to unpack my groceries then suddenly I feel a HUGE STING on my back just above my left butt cheek area just the area where your Hip starts.. since I was bending forward into the car I thought it must be some muscle or im imagining something because my first thoughts where Did I just got stung by a WASP ? in the middle of winter ?

I ran inside lifted my clothes and asked mom to check if she see's anything no she said nothing. I told her it def. felt very hot very painfull as if someone pushed a hot needle into my flesh. she said cant see anything.
I thought oh well must be imagining things.. (meantime this big huge wasp was climbing inside my T-shirt from the back to the top of my collar to get out)

As I walked to the kitchen suddenly the WASP came out and I dont know what happened I PANICED and yelled you SEE I told you it was something I didnt even see the wasp I could just hear its wings move up and down really fast like you would have a mosqito humming around you..and the damnn thing followed me while I was like waving with my hands around me to make sure It didnt sting me again.. as I unzipped the Sweater I was wearing somehow the wasp ended up on the ground and my Foot ontop of it and it STUNG me AGAIN.. I jumped up from the pain.. and yelled there it is.. mom had shoes on so she STEPPED on it HUGE ONE..

I was like in disbelief this was happening to me.. and only now the two spots became to irritate like hell bumps and sensitive.

I think this is the 1st time in my life I was stung and I didnt know if im allergic or not on top of it im kinda not insured for my health at the moment need to find a new insurance company before 1st Februari .

its obvious I didnt feel like taking a nice comfortably relaxing shave I have no clue as where the Wasp had the time to fly under the jacket I was wearing into my sweater and then probably stung me thru my shirt aswell which I wore under the Sweater. (it might have been the QUEEN herself cuz this was a huge WASP and the Queen is known for overwintering I belief?)

:eek: Oh gosh, Rene!!

I am so sorry! I can just imagine how you were freaking out. I know I would have! :eek:

[Sejanus]

Damn! That is quite the story Rene!

Good news is that you cannot be allergic to a Bee/Wasp sting the first time you get it. You have to be stung twice for any allergy to show itself.

[crackstar]

oy, Boubi, you just threw a big scare into me......:eek: :eek:

[IsaacRN]

I thought a wasp died like a bee once it had stung anyone once.

[SSLSTudio...]

I thought a wasp died like a bee once it had stung anyone once.

Not so Isaac Wasps dont have a hook on their angle so they DONT die with the 1st sting they can keep on attacking you notice the angle in the pic !!!

I think a Bee stings once but dies then. gimme a Bee anytime man !

@ Ken didnt know that..wow now im sweating.... you hear these horrible stories of people needing hospital help fast as #$@#@....

thanks @ the rest... I guess it had to happen the odds were just rising everyone around me has been stung and here little me kept on going without ever being stung..well that record is broken.

I havent ever broken a bone yet and I intend to KEEP that record !!!

Merkur Classic 3 piece razor

Colgate regular shaving cream
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue AS

I was feeling nostalgic and my old can of Colgate was looking so sad and lonely under the sink. So, I shook it up and shaved with it. Not bad.

Also, to imitate one of the other regular contributors, I dusted off my old phonograph and vinyl LPs. I'm now playing: Phil Bodner, “The Greatest Sax in the World” pressed in 1962 on Knapp Records

I might have shaved today after working the day from 8 am till 5 pm.

It is a new policy of the company to be open on a saturdays now , we are 3 people doing this so we rotate the saturday this amounts to me doing once every 3 months 2 saturdays in a month and the other 2 months 1 saturday.

anyways im not a morning person so this was a rough start of the New Year doing two days 7am till 3:30 PM then on saturdays its 8am so then I can sleep an hour longer but I woke up 4AM kinda nervous because I left my blackberry at work and I use that as an alarm clock to wake me up. back to sleep for 3 hours then up again..

Anyways as I left work to get some groceries at the local shop im done in 15m then drove off to the local Egypt at the place where I live , all within a 30m time window I come home start to unpack my groceries then suddenly I feel a HUGE STING on my back just above my left butt cheek area just the area where your Hip starts.. since I was bending forward into the car I thought it must be some muscle or im imagining something because my first thoughts where Did I just got stung by a WASP ? in the middle of winter ?

I ran inside lifted my clothes and asked mom to check if she see's anything no she said nothing. I told her it def. felt very hot very painfull as if someone pushed a hot needle into my flesh. she said cant see anything.
I thought oh well must be imagining things.. (meantime this big huge wasp was climbing inside my T-shirt from the back to the top of my collar to get out)

As I walked to the kitchen suddenly the WASP came out and I dont know what happened I PANICED and yelled you SEE I told you it was something I didnt even see the wasp I could just hear its wings move up and down really fast like you would have a mosqito humming around you..and the damnn thing followed me while I was like waving with my hands around me to make sure It didnt sting me again.. as I unzipped the Sweater I was wearing somehow the wasp ended up on the ground and my Foot ontop of it and it STUNG me AGAIN.. I jumped up from the pain.. and yelled there it is.. mom had shoes on so she STEPPED on it HUGE ONE..

I was like in disbelief this was happening to me.. and only now the two spots became to irritate like hell bumps and sensitive.

I think this is the 1st time in my life I was stung and I didnt know if im allergic or not on top of it im kinda not insured for my health at the moment need to find a new insurance company before 1st Februari .

its obvious I didnt feel like taking a nice comfortably relaxing shave I have no clue as where the Wasp had the time to fly under the jacket I was wearing into my sweater and then probably stung me thru my shirt aswell which I wore under the Sweater. (it might have been the QUEEN herself cuz this was a huge WASP and the Queen is known for overwintering I belief?)
