Another Shaving Journal

Bruuuuce! Hope you and the family are well!

Still on lab duty?

My immediate family is well, thanks. My last surviving aunt died, so I'm driving to Michigan tomorrow to be with cousins and families.

After extensive training under the sterile hood, I have not been called upon to draw up sterile saline into 10cc syringes. At least I can add it to my resume.

I’m sorry about your loss my friend

Dang, sorry to hear that Bruce.

Drive safely today, and may it be filled with good memories of your aunt.

Thank you, Brian. I have many wonderful memories of my aunt. She was a sweet lady, loved by her children and grandchildren. She fought renal cancer successfully for many years, surviving long past expectations, but in the end cancer won. I hate cancer.

I'll check in over the weekend. Be well, Cadre.

Was in Michigan from Thursday till Sunday. Hung out with my cousins as much as time permitted. Good weather and a fun rental (Altima) made the drives pleasant. Good to be home.

Smooth, satisfying shave today. It's always a pleasure to use this razor.

So much catching up for me to do. Have no idea what happened in Vegas with The Big Announcement.

Mitchell's has a faint scent, but just. The balm is sort of lemony for a moment before fading. However, these largely unscented products demonstrate some powerful projection: people can't smell me for miles around!
