Shaving notes of the MaineYooper

Lambda Athena
Nacet (2)
CaYuen Au Naturale soap
Every Ready handle with Shave Forge 22mm HMW badger



Someone asked regarding what kind of lather this soap makes. When properly hydrated, it makes a slick, creamy lather, at only $11 a tub!

Nice looking lather Eric. Well done!

Klenzo B1126 20mm MR SHD bulb

After a 30 sec loading time I had a stupid amount of lather! Probably had enough for several faces, but there was only me and Sylvester and he said No Way, Never again!

Another very nice shave with just one little red spot.

I'm in an appointment for myself, a Sleep Disorder clinic. Apparently I snore too much for my wife! That and she says I sometimes seem to have long pauses in my breathing. Both my folks have sleep apnea and lately I don't feel ready to get up, sort of untested. So here I am! I'm wanting a Dark Helmet mask if I can get one!

Hope it helps you. I tolerated the contraptions just fine two different times but they couldn't maintain an open airwave for me. I have to sleep on my stomach to maintain and open airway ....... Hoping for a good outcome for you.

Thanks, Dave, for the encouragement!

I often deflect with humor. But this diagnosis is more serious and can actually lead to severe health consequences. So while I jest and act the clown, I am thankful for the support of the community.

My thoughts on CPAP: Yes the mask and hose wake me, but at least I know I am getting oxygen. On the rare nights that I don't use it, I feel very very foggy the next day. Totally worth it, but know that it requires its own adjustment to get used to.

Thanks, Eric ewk, for the input. I am actually getting excited to try this device. I don't remember the last time I slept really well or woke up without grumbling about not enough sleep.

The most comfortable for me has the hose swivel on top of the head and a nasal pillow. Only good if you don't breath thru your mouth. Otherwise you're better off with a full mouth / nose design.

I went through this too. Years of living with bad shoulders forced me to learn to sleep on my back which led to sleep apnea. After ten years or so of cpap therapy I lost 30 pounds and decided I didn’t have sleep apnea anymore. I got retested and the results showed that when I slept on my side I didn’t have sleep apnea but when I slept on my back I did have fairly severe sleep apnea so, I’m sleeping on my side now. I can’t sleep the whole night in either side do I start on one side then switch to the other about halfway when I get up to pee (that’s another issue. Agingf I get to the point that both hips are sore then I either get up or I’ll sleep on my back and crank up the head of the bed to the point where the sleep apnea is only mild. I hope it goes well for you.
