New Horizons in Shaving

The following is a dramatization of my life -

It's officially in the Twilight Zone now.
 
News headline: Health trainer and part time self taught coder goes crazy - heard to say “At least I smell good” as lead away by authorities.

Man, what a time to be alive!

My ongoing drama seems to have turned into a neverending story. It only takes one difficult person in the right position to turn your life upside down. Going on nearly a year of complete stagnation thanks to one stubborn individual.

Thankfully there have been some little personal victories, picking up a bit of coaching work and consistency hitting the coding gives me the sense there is a tomorrow, if I can ever put the current mess behind me.

Shaves, are great, and smells are great too, and I'll say this hobby helps keep me sane. I'm not pretending to have any restraint with fragrances, but at least am moving to some that are easier on the pocketbook. Via le Caron!

And of course rocking that Ukrainian make beauty the Apollo Light. With all the stress, great trouble free shaves are what I'm after, and boy does the post modern retro art piece deliver for me.

So smooth, no irritation or redness, rarely a nick even with the aggressive head. yeah!

Good to see you posting my friend!

I have Caron on my wish list! Hope it brings you some stress free moments!

Thanks so much guys!

Go for a Caron Brian, they used to be cheap as chips on FragranceX etc, not sure it's still the same, but maybe cheap as Pringles now.

Chris, I'm working on the hacking the Matrix, but starting with breaking into a box of Finnish chocolate.
 
Whew, a couple of crazy weeks. Well with where Finland is on the map, I think readers can work out what I’m talking about.

Still, shaving must go on! And I’m extra happy to have my Ukrainian rocket at the ready for daily service. Though I’ve used the English Aristocrat once as well.
Soap is just as much on lock, I’ve got a 7 day rotation 6 T+S and then the Extro for ‘variety’. The Extro is really growing on me though, definitely worth a try as a great non-tallow soap.

In personal life, I finally made it official, and have left my start-up. All I can say is it’s a shame, but you’ve got to know when to throw in the towel.
Still working on coding, learning about working with databases now, and hoping to get started on some real apps in a few months time. Stay tuned!

Apple had the big event I’ve been waiting for, and released the desktop that I’ve always wanted them to make, so we decided to bite the bullet and order. Of course we took a few days to think about it and now delivery is all the way into June! That’s ok, at least I know the end of the beach ball is coming! :)

Have a good one folks!

Good to hear from you. Create an app that is totally novel and superfluous. People will pay you 99 cents for that stuff.
 
Glad to see you and your family are healthy and safe! I know that business was a hard decision - but having peace in your life and reducing stress is more important!

I hope you dig your new Apple computer when it comes this spring!
 
Tried using a feather blade recently, big NOPE!

We just upgraded our Wi-Fi I noticed our service was outdated, and we were paying top euro for crap speeds! For just a few Euros more than what we were paying we’ve got Gigabit now, and just bought a new Wi-Fi 6 Mesh system, speeds blazing now, like my neck after using that Feather.
