Well, I woke up this morning, not so much in a rush but I needed to get out ASAP. I know, not so much the best time for a shave, but I went for a single pass. Well, I was using a near wedge Pipe Razor that did OK. Before leaving I looked in the rearview mirror noting the flaws of the shave. I could not go back inside to correct the issues. I got scolded earlier in the semester for being late once. It maybe a part time job but it is better than no job. On the upside, I was able to enjoy a nice slow shave after class to finish the job. Also, the class watched an interesting film called Mugabe and the White African. Students were actually participating in the post movie discussion. As an instructor, your job is so much easier when at least one student is participating. Otherwise you feel like a schizo wondering around in a group home, muttering insanities alone and in desperation.
