A shave can make you feel better

[oc_in_fw]

I hurt my back on Monday. About twice a year I throw my back out bad, and have to go to the bone cracker to fix it up. I had three sessions and it wasn't getting better. Long story short, one leg is just enough shorter that, over time, my hip gets thrown off 7mm in the vertical. Nothing a good shoe insert can't fix. Enough background- I haven't shaved for five days, and was sitting at my desk being miserable. So, I grabbed my Palmolive shave stick, my ER1912 with a fresh carbon steel blade, my Semogue 1460, and my Aqua Velva Ice Blue aftershave. I had a nice, long hot shower and a shave. I feel like a new man. The back is still kind of hurting, but my outlook has vastly improved.

Sometimes it's the simple pleasures...

Indeed. I followed it up with a bowl of McClelland Frog Morton and a cup of Earl Grey tea. It is a good day.

Just got home for the ER about 1.5 hours ago (kidney stone blockage this morning before I could shave).
Sure felt GREAT cleaning off 1.5 days of whiskers with a straight!

I agree. I was down for a week with a stomach virus and didn't feel like shaving. The first shave as I started to feel better was wonderful.

Back pain is miserable, I know from experience. Glad that a shave was able to brighten your day!

I know about back pain and kidney stones. I rather have a bad shave any day, but a good shave goes a long way. Glad you're feeling better.

Glad you got it worked out.

Yep, I have been down all week. The shave was a return to normalcy.

That, and the pain is beginning to subside. I don't wear shoes in the house, so I took a heel cup and ace bandaged it over my left sock. It appears to be helping.

Thanks.

No doubt a good DFS can make one feel better. It can also start your day so great that it extends throughout the day. When I have my better shaves with no burn, nicks, weepers I go the rest of the day with a better attitude.

I was busting my butt in the gym (gotta get some weight off to help my back in the long run) and man if that hot shower and shave didn't feel good tonight. I hope you find relief soon.

a great shave can really lift your mood, much the same as a bad shave can dampen it!
