I joined B&B in February 2020, and I am just now discovering the journal feature. So I will attempt to bring the journal up to date in these first few posts and then keep it updated each day that I shave.
This morning I got confused on my medications and got my morning and evening medications all mixed up. I ended up dumping each dosage, sorting it out and putting the meds where they belonged. This put me behind schedule and late for church.
I tell you this to justify my cheating. I didn’t use The Fat this morning, I was short on time, so I used A&E Kaizen. It lathers quicker and gives me the same slickness that The Fat does. I also cheated during my shave. I did a modified XTG ATG pass. It was on an angle between XTG and ATG. The thinking was to get a closer shave with just one pass. As I said, I was short on time and I was trying to make up time wherever I could and still be bathed, clean shaven and sweet smelling for church.
The modified pass didn’t go so well. I might as well slowed down a bit and done a proper XTG pass and stopped there.
The shave, while presentable by eye, would not pass the smooch test. I’ll try to ignore it until tomorrow morning when I can apply a proper shave with a new Feather blade and The Fat. Till then, good shaving and good day.
I am so glad you posted this. It reminded me to take my evening meds.I'm only on one set of meds for my neuro issues, and they're only one time of day... supposedly. They should be taken at night, but as I don't have a stable body clock, that could be anywhere from mid afternoon, to mid morning. I do however have flexibility in the dose, and can choose between one pill or two, depending how I'm doing in the overall cycle (clear thinking but migrainous at one end of the spectrum, or zombiefied but non-migrainous at the other).
That is of course assuming I haven't absent mindedly forgotten, or had one of those moments where I'm not sure whether I've taken them or not, and don't want to risk doubling up.
Thankfully I don't have to rush shaves like that any more though
I hope you get a more satisfying shave tomorrow, Eric
