July 6

Razor - Fatip Piccolo
Blade - (3)
Soap - Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
Brush - Stirling Two Banded Synthetic
Post - Alum

Well, I am definitely back in a clearance store at work. I haven't moved as many mattresses in a day as I did today in over 6 months. And all just to try and put it back in somewhat good order. More to do but it's a start. One thing about it, it's exercise and that should make my doctor happy.

I was happy to get home to another shave with the Fatip/Kai combo and allowed the fine scent and lather of Jeeves Bay Rum to carry me away. I did three full passes just to enjoy it more and ended up with a baby on my hands. Ahhhhh, the good life.

Now, time to flip on the apps and go haul some drunks around when they're ready. At least I don't have to lift them like a mattress. Have a great Saturday tomorrow everyone!
