So I have had a running toilet. How this relates to Barbasol will soon be abundantly clear...
Yesterday I swapped the dual flush valve seal in the toilet without using the shut off valve for the water supply to the toilet. But the seal swap didn't fix the issue. I need a new flush valve. So I tried the shut off valve to see if it would work. Couldn't budge it, which I expected. I don't know why I even put them in. I searched for "guaranteed fixes" on the internet. I sprayed the valve with PB Blaster and banged around the valve to loosen the mineral deposits and let it sit overnight.
Fast forward to Monday morning. I filled the sink and scuttle for my shave and began running shower water. For some reason, I tried the valve handle again and, lo and behold, it began to move!....until the shaft broke, the handle in my hands, and water spraying out of the broken valve. I ran outside and shut the water to the house off.
I used the sink water for a quick sponge bath and Barbasol shave. TMI? Sorry, but I have to share how good the canned goo shave went! It was the only solace in my miserable Monday morning. I did one pass with touchups. It took just over a minute. Super cushion and good glide with a thin layer applied. I wish I had reached for my La Toja foam instead, but it was just out of reach.
ADD: new shut off valve has been installed and waiting for new flush valve...
