Speaking of hair removal, for my shaving I've been using this Merkur (34C I think) safety razor for years and it's not likely to quit on me. There was a learning curve, but not a big one. The result is quite good.
The titanium coated blades last me many months each and produce minimal waste with no plastic.
I also tested an open razor, but found I can't trust myself waving that around in my face before morning coffee.
Wait. Almost 100 people follow me? I'm at 91 right now which is just wild to me considering how wildly inconsistent this account truly is compared to my other social media accounts.
It's my last work day of the year, so I decided to don my iconic Ugly Christmas Sweater. This was the first one I ever got for myself that I debuted at work about 4 years ago to many snickers and giggles. It's such a silly sweater, so I just had to finish out strong with it.
So, I went to the post office around lunch today and a guy was giving me an odd look, but I shrugged it off. He then apologized a few moments later and said, "Sorry, man, I just have some real beard envy."
Another Friday in December, another amazing Ugly Christmas Sweater!
This week it's my fantastic Aldi sweater I found. It's from a few years back and, honestly, I found at an off-price Department Store (Gabe's) out of season. It was...a surprising find, but I love it.
Decided to wear a sweater vest and I think it works for me. Also, this beard is getting wild and thick. Going to need to trim it back soon, but mostly to make it more even. I kind of like how big my beard is getting.
This was a real conversation I had at Thanksgiving with my recently married brother (Bro A) and his wife (Mrs A).
Bro A: Beard looks good
Me: Thanks, it was even thicker than this before your wedding, but I trimmed it back to make sure it looked good.
Bro A: Oh?
Me: (Shows him and his wife the picture of my beard then)
Mrs A: (Widely smiling) That looked good, really good on you
Mrs A: (Turning to at Bro A and touching his face) You should grow your beard out like that
Bro A: What? No.
Mrs A: (Nodding aggressively) Yes, very yes.
[The Washington Post] Tim Scott appears with girlfriend at debate, ending mystery over her identity
Shortly after candidates had finished their closing remarks, Scott walked to the edge of the stage, greeting a blonde woman in a light-gray pantsuit. Reporters and audience members were quick to notice the pair held hands at one point. Who could she be, they wondered? By Meryl Kornfield
