Tuesday

Hello my friends.

I haven’t posted a SOTD for a while as I’ve been rather distraught. One of Bailey’s little friends in the cancer clinic who was diagnosed at the same time as Bailey passed away last week at 4 years of age and I attended the funeral yesterday. Funerals are always sad but when it’s a child it seems so much worse. My daughter asked me to attend to give her support but I’m afraid I was no help at all; I was a blubbering wreck!

To the mundane, though, this morning’s shave was excellent. I’m getting better at shaving my chin (I shaved off my goatee a few days ago). The razor I used this morning did a great job and it was one of the few times I was really BBS all over after two ½ passes (WTG and XTG and a bit of ATG). I may need to send the Klas Törnblom away for sharpening (if I keep it) as I’m not able to get it quite sharp enough to do an ATG beneath the chin.

Talking of chins, I’m trying to keep mine up so to speak but it’s hard, it’s hard...

Since the day we found you
You have been our friend
And your voice still
Echoes in the hallway of this house
But now
It's the end

We will be with you
When you're leaving
We will be with you
When you go
We will be with you
And hold you till you're quiet
It hurts to let you go

We will be with you
You will stay with us
