The Shave...
Parents and students are coming in today in order to turn in work for the last month, and to pick up new assignments--gotta be looking my best. I went with a 2 pass shave with touch ups.
First passes (WTG) are the easiest for me. Except for right under the nose. If I’m going to bleed anywhere in the 1st pass, that’s where it’ll be… but it was successfully navigated, and usually is.
2nd pass (mostly XTG today) was a little rockier. A small set down error on the chin, and remember that part of the upper lip right under the nose that gives me trouble during the 1st pass, but is a cakewalk (even the fool’s pass) on the 2nd and 3rd? I somehow managed a slight nick going from the outside inward--still unsure how that happened.
Styptic on the chin for a small-but-persistent weeper on the chin, and my other errors just went away on their own. Somewhere in between BBS and DFS today with a slight tinge of irritation on the right side of my neck just under my ear--don’t know how that one happened; it’s usually pretty quiet along there.
Well off to make this a little less of a vacation for a couple hundred kids--I'll check in later in the afternoon
Enjoy your day--if Thursday comes, can Friday be far behind?
43 down, 57 to go!
