I wouldn't say notably better than K2, but I think it feels slightly more moisturizing, with a bit better post-shave feel.

2nd shave with my new brush. Holy crap, this thing is great! Builds a rich, creamy lather in just seconds, and puts it on so smooth and soft. Highly recommended.

A 1930's Remington mechanical typewriter. My dad used it regularly until he passed away, it still works perfectly and I've got a whole box of ribbons for it.

I agree, the universe definitely came first.

The truth is that using a backlit screen before bed will affect everyone differently. Try both and see which works better for you.

I've been sober since February 2018, after my dad passed away. My drinking had been increasing since my marriage ended a couple years before that, and I knew it was starting to get out of hand, but it took my dad's death to give me the motivation I needed to stop. He was a lifelong drinker, and I realized that's just not what I want for myself. Good luck to you on your journey, OP.

Happy Father's Day, everyone!

Wondering how many other jazz heads are on here?

Awesome, this takes me back in a great way. My parents had an old hi-fi phono in a beautiful wood cabinet, and they had some Esquivel records just for the purpose of showing off the stereo sound. Thanks for this!
