Arrrgh... Gotta shave my head for hunting season...
Stone blade bald.
(Obsidian is a stone, right?)
I'm getting that "feeling" in my scalp again and I can tell you that there is little worse than Shingles... unless it's Shingles on your scalp and you need to shave the hair ff of it to put your antiviral cream on.
Preemption seems the best course of action.
Oh well. People seem to like the "Bruce Willis" look, so who am I to complain? I just hope it's a false alarm this time.

Re: Arrrgh... Gotta save my head for hunting season...
If you haven't gotten the shingles shot, get it. Faster than cleaning your dryer lint, right now! Only thing I have had worse than shingles is gout. Get the shot.
Oh, and OI, you are a little shorter than Bruce Willis...by about $50 Million a year!

I'll look into the shot. I thought it was useless once you had it though...

Re: Arrrgh... Gotta shave my head for hunting season...
Well, the story I got from my regular Doc was you can only get it once, and since I had had it I didn't need the shot. Then I talked with another Doc who said that was not right, and the shot will definitely prevent you from getting it. So, I got that shot quick, didn't want to take any chances with that stuff.

Re: Arrrgh... Gotta shave my head for hunting season...
The Shingles shot, Zostavax, can prevent it even if you have had it before. It doesn't help while you are symptomatic. If you are already feeling the symptoms, then you need to wait until about a month after all symptoms subside.

Obsidian (volcanic glass) is a stone and the edges of a broken piece as sharp or sharper than any razor. Used by natives to make arrow heads.
An idea... get some lollypops and go as Telly Savalas on Halloween.

Re: Arrrgh... Gotta shave my head for hunting season...
Chuck, the obsidian is sharp due to the ability to fracture to within an atom or 2 thickness. Steel doesn't get thinner than about 10 atoms or it bends. I read where a surgeon was talked into using an obsidian knife by an archeologist. The surgeon said it was the sharpest blade he had ever used.
