It was day one again, this time for 7th and 8th graders. Despite the staffing shortage in our unit, it was probably one of the better first days of school I’ve encountered.

I had a great shave this morning, to boot.

Have a nice day and kind to one another.

Halfway point. Definitely craving a larger brush. Starting to long for variety as well. Resist the impulse to purchase products, my brothers. This is the phase of AA where anything different from what you've been using starts to sound pretty damn good. Blade is still going strong. This razor is pretty dang good for everyday use. If used more sporadically, I'd definitely long for the aggressive plate, but not the OC plate as that's reserved for mad men.
