    Friday

    Interview on Monday for a new job I applied for. I work in the Department of Correctional Services as an Education Coordinator; I’m applying for a Quality Assurance role, one I’ve done before, out of the prison in Head Office. It’s only temporary at this stage (4 months) but at least it’s an extra 10 grand for a while if I get it. I don’t mind if I DON’T get it; at least it’s nice to get to the interview stage. I normally do well at interviews. A colleague and I were joking today about answering all the interview questions with random quotes from Pulp Fiction; wouldn’t you love to do that?...

    Listening to triple J on the radio on the way to work this morning this song came on. I must say, Australian music is excellent right now; I really don’t think we need to 'make it' in Amerika any more to be ‘accepted’…

    I’ve already written two paragraphs and I’ve still got to mention the cufflinks and, of course, the shave…

    Cufflinks were antique hand painted pheasants behind glass; intaglio style…

    Shave was nice; the sensitive scents of the Nomad and O Melhor combined well in the Ãœber…

    (listen to the song, it'll make you feel good, I've played it about 20 times tonight at least (I post my post in the evening, in a vain hope to 'coincide'))


    Razor: W&B, lovely
    Pre Shave: Proraso, as always
    Ãœberlather: Crabtree and Evelyn Nomad/O Melhor/Glycerine
    After Shave: Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar, to make me smell like a gentleman
    Eau de Toilette: Burberry ‘The Beat’
    Cufflinks of the Day: Antique hand painted pheasants behind glass

    1) Max and Glen: whose gentle mentoring has enabled me to get my buffing exactly where I want it. The razor is dedicated do you. A special thanks to Baldy who unknowingly has pushed me to try different scale mediums. I like looking at his work a lot. Thanks Grant.
    Thanks mate, just to be included in the same paragraph as those two guys is a huge compliment.
    The razor and scales look outstanding too.

    Nice choice of music mate. I'm a Triple J man myself.

    No shave for me since Monday night, and as you can see I'm looking a little rough

    This is not the shave you're looking for.

    No shave for me today.
