Well Kate was calling out to me too, but TJ won't let me use her, so I grabbed The Doctor. What a novel idea compared to the dollar razor. Use an actually sharp blade, and hold it still. I thin
k they are really on to something here. It was my first use of Foxville, where I got more of the citrus and less of a darkness and spice. It wasn't the cold weather scent I would have hoped for from the description. It's nice to be back to ye ole BBS.
 
I thought you might miss the whisker collision alarm system. Great for shaving in the dark!

I agree, that's a great feature for sure. I guess I'm just more a bare bones type of shaver that doesn't want all the bells and whistles
 
You’ve obviously dropped the 2 a day shaves. Miss it much? Not going to go for 730 shaves in a year?

Ha!! That was only a few times. I actually thought of it after one of the $1 shaves because my face was rough, but I didn't want to irritate it knowing I had another $1 shave the next morning.

I figured a waiting a day after the $1 razor it should be safe to return to the SS. What a pleasure it was to shave with it today. Nice and smooth. Thought I might have pulled off a BBS with it, but did need a couple t
ouch up strokes. That's cool. No alum sting. I also decided to play contrary to the grey/rainy weather and citrus it up today. Smelling good.

Have some busyness coming up. The house is pretty much a disaster with interior painting in slow progress and items from the destroyed shed still being stored all over. The replacement shed made it into California from the east coast a day ago. So I'm hoping I get a call for delivery on that soon, which will then involve a day of moving and assembly. Electrician is finally scheduled to come Saturday morning which will involve me being up earlier to clear out all the stuff being stored where he needs to work. And currently I'm 80% sure I'm going to take tomorrow off to stay home and complete the painting in the hallway and few major walls so the wife sees some things being finished. Might just catch a football game on Sunday though.

Hey I’m going to take tomorrow off too. But I may boycott busyness.

Playing hours of Red Dead also crossed my mind. But that requires Cool Ranch Doritos and milk, so I would have to go shopping.

There, caught up. As TJ would say, I've been working as hard as a dog fightin' a homeless man for a hot dog. Got the painting done on Friday. Just one more area to go but we have to empty a wine fridge for that. Then yesterday was putting together the shed in a combination of off/on rain and wind. Also had the electrician here. It took all day but just as it was getting dark I got the door on. Started to move stuff in today, but the rain isn't cooperating. Been doing other chores this morning. It's noon now and I'm hoping to call it quits for the day and catch up on all you jokers.
