Ok, so with times as they currently are we've made some changes as to how we get through life on a daily basis. Here are some things that we're doing differently to stay safe.
We have to mail some shaving related items from time to time. When mailing items I'll print the shipping labels off via Paypal (or you can use some other program) and I'll drop them off at the post office after hours when nobody is there. The lobby is open 24x7 and there is a drop off box. Because of the number of people that go through there each day, I'll bring some disposable gloves that I'll put on in the car and take off before getting back into the car. By doing it this way I'm avoiding standing in line and being around other people.
Grocery stores are the worst and probably a place that you might be more likely to be exposed. Here we have plenty of people that aren't taking this all that seriously and they're using grocery stores as a place to hang out and socialize, visiting them daily. They recommend that you send one person from your family and to buy enough items to make it worth the trip and the risk involved. There is a better solution though. The wife has been buying groceries via the vendor's "click list" type applications, even before all of this started. It's so much easier and it's a time saver as well. She can order groceries from Walmart or Fry's online via their online app and have it paid for before leaving the house. She pulls up at a designated time, the guy loading them asks if she'd like him to sign for her, they load them into the back of our SUV and she drives away. You can specify if you allow any substitutions and they'll tell you what was switched out when you get there and ask if it is ok. This service used to cost like $4.95 but it's free now because of all that's going on. Fry's will even deliver them to your doorstep for $9.95 and 5% or your order price as gratuity. Either way, she'll wipe down the groceries with a Lysol wipe before putting them away. The people who are working at the grocery stores seem to really appreciate everyone using the click list options as we're not putting them in danger when doing so.
Being a shut in is kinda boring if you're doing it right. Amazon is getting a lot of my money as I've been buying items to fix things around the house. The projects I haven't gotten to in a while are being addressed in out spare time. I have to run some wiring and that'll probably be next. Cleaning the garage is another item on the to do list.
We're both working from home so to get some fresh air, the wife and I will take an early morning walk. We keep a more than sufficient distance between ourselves and anyone else, but other that that we're not really going anywhere. We're honoring the quarantine effort.
Shaving wise I've been less diligent with it. I've been working from home so some days I'll just take a shower and skip shaving or not shave until later in the evening.
Please, no doom and gloom stuff, no politics and nothing negative.... but if you're doing something specific that could help others to know about maybe share that in this thread. Feel free to share how this is impacting your shaving as well. Are you using this time to dial it in and try some new products or are you taking a more lazy approach when it comes to shaving.
Be safe everyone. Take care of yourself and your family.
