School starts for my older 2 tomorrow. RIP me. I need more summer. They’re excited (and sad), but – I’m mostly just sad. Dang kids have a way of just ripping your soul out while you watch them grow up. I know some of y’all are way further down the line than me and I know the relationship changes but I just want to keep them as the sweet “dad is my hero” kids that they are forever and every year they go to school and at the end of it they come back different. Fuller, more independent, more grown up. And I love that for them and I hate that for me. Stupid self-sacrificing to raise kids.
Shave was decent, though. Couple little nicks – went with the grain and across the grain on this one for most of it (more than usual, anyway) and it went well. Had to hybrid two pass my chin and my neck somewhat. I was reflecting on how awful the first 3 shaves were now that we’re in the final three and dangit I’ve come a long way. Kudos to all you other fools who endured some early suffering to come out more refined on this side of things.
Dundy++ I forgot to take pics pre-shave so you get wet brush today. Not sorry.
Dammusi ++
