SOTD 16-22 February 2025

It is sorta like riding a bike, although this morning’s shave was anything but as enjoyable and relaxing as I’d like.  SWMBO in the absence of her grandchildren has decided that yours truly required the same kind of close supervision they receive when visiting. Since my discharge from rehab, my left wing isn’t quite as adept as my right necessitating a change in my straight technique. And by the way, I had practiced, minus the blade in my Tedalus, using only my right hand to straight shave the mug. The doc, of course, had informed me that my straight-shaving days were over. I smiled and nodded, but after 78 rotations around the sun, I’ll be damned if I let some wet-behind-the-ears kid tell me of what I’m capable. In any case, despite the bride’s concerns that I’d shear off an ear, all went well with only a very minor red spot on my left jawline. All in all it felt good to get back into the swing of things.
