Jan. 29
So, this is the week of blood. I must have just been
crazy tired this morning, which I guess makes sense. My two-year old and I had philosophical differences on how sleep should be conducted. He felt that he should sleep in
my bed, perpendicular between me and The Missus, while kicking me in the kidneys every 3-4 seconds.
I felt that he should sleep in the garage. Always the voice of reason, The Missus felt we should split the difference and put him back in his crib--there were protestations (from both parties). I plopped him in his crib and myself on the floor to guard against egress. He wound up sleeping in his own crib last night, but the protestations were loud and lengthy, and at 1:00 am the collateral damage in sleep made this a costly victory.
At any rate, when 5:00 am rolled around I stumbled my way into the bathroom to set up the shave and photo. I noticed that there was a bit of a smudge on the head of my Flare Tip, so I wiped it away but managed to slide my finger across the blade. Got a nice quarter-inch slice along the top of my finger about as severe as a paper cut. Nothing major, but so, SO stupid.
Fortunately, the shave went much better. Stuck with two passes (WTG & XTG), and the lightest of touch-ups around the mouth. No issues, and a DFS which, frankly, kind of amazed me. One drop of Frost Drops on my remaining lather to reapply and leave on while I cleaned up. Cold water rinse, pat down, application of Clubman Original AS, and I was feeling so good I decided to forego the post shave balm.
