    Well, yeah, but not skating on them until tomorrow.

    Seriously though, if anybody sees this that's had experience, the LHS I got em at told me they don't need to be contoured/profiled. I was a bit skeptical. It doesn't matter, I wouldn't trust them to do it anyway, but I was wondering if those who have used them still get them profiled. My guess is yes, still get them profiled.

    Any feedback will be helpful. I expect the first couple skates will feel weird enough that I won't know if they need it or not.

    From the difference in pitch, you might want to try them first and then see how you like the holder.

    Mirror finish....

    As I reported elsewhere, the local sharpener jacked up my BlackEdge runners by honing them. But, that said, they never had a mirror finish. It was a rather matted finish. (If I recall correctly....as they are definitely matte finish now!) DOH!

    It's nice that it's wider than the skinny little inserts you get with a lot of the shorts. I like the 10K better than anything else I've tried over the almost 50 years since I started playing. I have the one without the garters. I'm not big on multi-function stuff, and I use the velcro on compression shorts to hold up my socks.

    I use an old Itech boxer sort type under the Jofa/Reebok cup. I cut out the cup out of the Itech after one of the straps came undone. Works like a charm. Comfortable. I did not like the Jofa/Reebok cup as much on bare skin with a garter.

    I had a pretty similar run last winter/spring and it turned out I had a number of previously undiagnosed allergies. I strongly suggest being tested to anyone that has had a string of sinus issues. It won't alleviate the deviated septum, but it certainly could reduce the amount of sinus problems that you have.

    I have a band mate who had the sinus/deiviated septum surgery and he always had a million sinus infections even afterwards. It was allergies to certain foods that caused him to be succeptible to the infections and sinus congestion. He changed his diet and not only lost weight but he has had no sinus issues from then on. I have to check, but I think it was dairy and wheat or gluten causing his issues. I had never heard of such a thing.

    I spoke with Chris when we were looking to get cheap jerseys for our school's team. He was a nice guy, and was seemingly going to bend over backwards to help me work with zero budget. The funding fell through, and he was cool with it. I think this whole issue might be someone responding as the real Chris. either way, I am sorry that you had a bad experience and went thought that anguish.
