Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,461


Today I was going to mark my since keeping track, 4 years wthout missing a shave. 4 years would include a leap year so 365 x 4 + 1 = 1,461. I had hoped to use some of my favorite equipment and do a video. On Friday afternoon my Dad (Stepdad but more a father than my father was) had an accident. He has relied on machines and medicine to keep him alive while sedated. At 84 with all the physical injuries even if he pulled thru it would likely not end well. His brain hemmorages are progressing and due to location are inoperable. They do not expect him to make it thru and the decision to let nature take it's course has been decided by the family and will be passed on to the staff today. I tried to do as intended for my shave but as I stood andwas selecting what to use my heart was not in it and I selected yesterdays exact same setup. Sorry to be a downer but today took everything to power thru and shave....no pic or video. This one was for you Dad........HUG your loved ones tight today !

I didn't really feel like shaving today but then I remembered the words of Dave from Kentucky, just shave through it, wise words indeed.
So I did and a very good shave was had and I do feel better for having that shave.
@Dave in KY , our thoughts are with you today.


Paul.

So sad for the Family, but you have probably made the right decision not to try and prolong the life of who you think of as your Dad.
May you remember the good times you had with him.
