On the shaving front, I use Harry's and some gel from Ulta that my wife buys. The gel is so slick that I can't hardly hold on to the razor and it's impossible to keep it from getting on the handle after the first rinse of the blade. I cut myself* one time fairly bad because the handle twisted in my hand while beginning the cut near my chin. Took a decent sized patch of skin off.
*I know, easy joke here but who hasn't cut themselves shaving?

So wow, I discovered that I can NOT calorie count and not ride a bike at the same time. I went crazy for one week and managed to maintain my weight, but I told myself I would start counting again Monday. Well, I've been counting them and going crazy on lunch (I was really hungry) nearly wiped out the whole day.
This sucks. We'll see if I can get away with a single PB&J for dinner.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
All I know is that not counting calories for a week was awesome, but I'm never going to lose weight that way.

Did anybody see the GCN video about over-indulging on gels on rides? Evidently it's a fattening habit. Gels are so intense with carbs that the body can't absorb them if you suck down to many too fast. Storage and weight gain is the result from that little packet.

Don't doubt it. I ride with a guy who isn't overweight who sucks down 3-4 gels on a 40 mile ride plus eats a cheese omelet and toast half-way through. I figure that he's a mutant, though.
