Luckily it was nearly all whitehead; the bleeding was done before the shave was.

Nope, no chickens were harmed in the making of this shave...I did drink some iced chai tea afterward though; the leaves weren’t talking today though.
It's the pimple shaving...Usually I enjoy your posts, but this one....

Ah ok. Well, I’d rather have a good shave and be rid of the blemish. I’ll take a scar for that if it comes to it.

Shave #205 (328 Open Blade Shaves) of 2019:
Gear: Feather AC SS shavette, Feather blade, Schick M Adjustable, Schick blade, RR Big Bruce brush, SS Citrus & Bay soap, generic witch hazel, Thayer’s Medicated, and Bootlegger’s Bay Rum AS to finish!
Really nice shave today and I get to go in early!
Finally finished rewatching Stranger Things season 2 last night, so the missus is all caught up and we can move on to the new season...so exciting!
Great shave this morning. Between the Feather, Weck, GC, and this Schick, I am getting some bangin shaves!
Yesterday finished up OK, but it was a bit of a mess before that. Lots of attitude issues with the kids this last week, having to deal with them complaining and being at each others throats half the day, every day...ugh. I never grew up with siblings, but I guess it’s all normal?
Then I finally had my meeting yesterday with the Jr High search team lead. I ended up not being one of the final candidates under consideration. Ultimately there was a candidate they felt was a little better fitting for what they wished to have and also they felt that, for my personal goals of being a pastor (which they fully are on board with) they felt this would be a misstep for me and distract me from that. To some extent I get it, but to another extent, it (with some of the other reasons and comments made) was some silly reasoning, but that is that. I know many of the people on the search team and know that they were not trying to write me off in any way. Ultimately I know there’s a bigger purpose to not being able to move further in the process, I just have to wait and see what it is. I think that after this week’s vacation though, my career/ministry search appetite is whetted, and it’s time to make some kind of forward movement, even if it ends up drawing us away from this particular community we’ve come to love. That’s just the nature of the beast...you go where you’re needed, not necessarily where you’d like to be.
Lastly...I had to rush around and fix a big snafu on my part last night. With all the focus on my vacation week coming up, I forgot that I was supposed to request tomorrow off for my wife’s family’s reunion! Oops! Thankfully we have adequate staffing at the moment though and with a little schedule switcheroo magic, I was able to correct my oversight. So Friday is my actual Friday for once...amazing!
Thanks for reading along if you made it this far!
Happy Friday all!

Sorry things didn't go as planned Chris.
Well sorry about the job news. I have to assume the bigger picture involves @The Monkey and something about ministry through shaving.
Got lucky you were able to get off work. Someone at home wouldn't have been happy!

I can see it now...
