I was supposed to demonstrate some software in a cross-departmental staff meeting this afternoon, with several big wigs and folks I don't know. Yesterday, I got a haircut, and last night I started my "I need to not look like a hobo" shaving ritual.

Now, I almost never use an electric razor anymore. I don't know why, because for about 15 years or so, I almost never used a safety razor. But, no matter which I choose, my skin is always irritated, and after shaves either make it worse or make me break out.

Any time I have a big to-do and need to shave, I try to shave the night before, and that will give my skin some recovery time, as well as giving me an opportunity to shave AGAIN in the morning for any stubble I might've missed the first time around. It's kind of overly complicated, but it works for me. I end up not being as blotchy, and my skin has had some recovery time.

This morning, thanks to a neighbor who is oh-so-generous with skin care product samples (bless him), I tried some after-shave care lotion which didn't sting. I haven't gone through the rest of the bag yet, but my skin feels better than with any run-of-the-mill cheapo product, so if I don't break out soon, I'm going to count that as "buy this stuff, it really works."

Now I wonder what Nala's cholesterol conditioner would do for my goatee.
