Sorry to hear about your injury, Al. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Watermelon. I love watermelon, one of the few things that makes the summer tolerable for me.

Because the mono box set will be missing Yellow Submarine, Abbey Road, Let It Be, and few other things, while the stereo box will be missing mono masters of stuff that didn't make it onto the albums. I concur. I'm wondering if I would be able to just get individual albums instead of paying premium for box sets?

Unlikely, unless Music Hall stops putting up ads on Stereophile.

Planted two hydrangeas in the front yard. The process took a whole longer than expected since I kept finding large rocks that I had to dig out.

Tyrion >me > riceboy > 4N6. I guess that makes you the 5th Head-Caser to own them. I sold them when I got rid of most of my headphone gears for speakers gears and house expenses.

If I'm not mistaken, you (Sherwood) are at least the 4th Head-Caser to own that particular K1000. I do wonder why I ever sold them.

Here's the initial verdict on Headblade. For the initial phase of shaving (going mostly with the grain), it worked well - it moved over my scalp smoothly and the resulting shave was very good, about as good as I've been getting with my conventional razor (Mach III). For the second phase - this is when I go against the grain to get smooth shave, it was difficult for me to go against the grain for all area of my head, due to the inherent design of the Headblade (i.e., razor is always situated perpendicular to your fingers). It was also difficult to shave around the ears, especially near the top of where ears are attached to the head. The one big fat caveat is that this was the first time I've used Headblade and I'm not accustomed to it. I'm probably going to give it a try couple more times, but I've a feeling I'll be going back to a conventional razor (with which I've gotten rather good in shaving my head) unless I see drastic improvements in the results/usage of Headblade.

Finally got around to listening to the Harry Potter series. As for actually reading, I'm starting on Beautiful Mind.

Actually, I've been shaving my head on regular basis for couple of years now. While I wasn't having any problem shaving with regular razor, it was taking good amount of time every time I shaved. I figured I'd give Headblade a shot to see if it'll be any quicker.
