And I'm back. It was a very long week. Hazmat skills are done, now I'm waiting for the state to receive my packet and approve me for the written exam. My book came in so I'll be studying the next couple of weeks because I remember exactly 3 things. I'll talk about work in a bit.
I kinda had to stay for an extra 24 hours at work and my kit magically didn't have any soap or splash. I might've had a brain fart and forgot to put something in. I ended up going to Walgreens to get some blades, Barbasol, and Aqua Velva. That was an interesting shave. But I digest. I wanted to test this new soap out with a straight shave. Lathering was simple enough.
@Victory~Dale said it might be a little finicky, but I had no problems at all. The scent is lovely. I'm not very good at describing performance, but I didn't notice anything negative. The blade had plenty of slickness to ride on to make my one pass shave nice and easy. Icy Velva to finish. I'm gonna give Navigator another go tomorrow with the Vector, and I suspect that not being an amateur straight shaver will make the soap really shine.

My first day on shift was as wild as the last few shifts. The second day on was exactly as wild too. There wasn't a lot of down time in the 48, but I was happy to be able to get some sleep in the last 5 hours. To say I was exhausted would be an understatement. In addition to the usual ambulance stuff I held load the largest diameter hose onto the new pumper. That thing looks NOICE. I can't share any pictures of it because reasons, but I'll get some on here as soon as I'm allowed. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff, but that's alright. I hope you're all well. I'll be catching up on the journals over the next few days. Thanks for reading, Cadre.
