Wow, A real journal entry...... Back to getting up before the dawn. It is nice because I am doing it because I want to and not because I have to, LOL I like to get to the shop early, set up and get the folks up and ready to start the day. One of my appointments and new clients came in for a Haircut, Shampoo, Full 3-pass Italian Straight Shave, Rest facial massage, and for 1.5 hrs of fun I got paid $50 + the tip, I could get used to this, LOL.
Anyway the shave today was typical Penhaligon's, Just wonderful. MY straight Razors however are in full revolt and I am awaiting a ransom note from them stating they have the Vector in a secure location. I will shave with them this weekend, but I have to admit it is really hard not shaving with the Vector... YES it is that good, and that fun. Those of you that know me well, know I never thought I would say that, since I love straight razors so much, but............ Looks as if I have been getting a ton of revelations lately that I thought would NEVER happen, but God works in glorius and funny ways, and would not surprise me if he was Andy Kaufman. More on that later.
If you are on the fence about the Vector, jump off, buy one and be done with it, you WILL NOT regret it.
Anyway a good 3 pass shave, not clean-up needed and DSBBS all the way. The Endymion is such a nice relaxing Oriental frag, and the Savoy Steam is glorious as the 1st layer, feeling like you have had a nice steam bath and massage..
Set-up:
On the Home Front:
As most of you know we live in the High Desert, and today it was the 1st 100 degree day.... IT IS FREAKING April 19th! Way too early. God's Glory #1.
My lovely spouse Sharon ( aka the Demon ) had been acting a bit funny since the beginning of April.... Well recently, and I still cannot believe it.... She gave me some news.... YES THE NEWS.... A bit of backstory. When we were dating, we had decided and agreed that it was not important to either of us to have children, much to the dismay of our parents, but indeed a decision we made before getting married. I think it was her way of trying to get rid of me ( boy that backfired ) hehehe. Now for God's Glory ( bring in Andy Kaufman) #2
At this stage of our life, we never thought we would hear the pitter-patter of little feet, We took care of my mom, are taking care of hers, and I just started a 3rd career as a barber in preparation for owning my own shop in whatever state or country we land in after Sharon's retirement. I know it happens, but this is the type of thing that you see in the newspapers or on Oprah. Get ready for it...
AND ITS TRIPLETS!!!!!!!!!!
Once I picked myself off the floor, and chugged what was left of a bottle of scotch, she explained she was terrified to tell me, as it was not in our plans. So again our lives will change, and of course we will gladly accept this with open arms. I will have more, including some pretty cool imaging that I will post here soon. That is one of the reasons I have been a been scarce this week MORE TO FOLLOW
