My 30-day challenge (bet with myself) for the month of May

[Sir Harry]

I have kept a bald head an no other hairstyle for five years running now. However I have NEVER shaved more than two consecutive days in a row due to razor bumps, schedule or just whatever. Since I shaved my beard for the ROTC ball with my (ex-step) daughter, I figured now would be a good time to try my own 30-day challenge while my beard grows back and I have no reason to visit a barber for a beard trim right now, I want to test myself and my skin by shaving EVERYDAY in May. Now that I have better tools (brushes, DE razors, bump patrol, etc.) I think I will survive the 30 straight days of shaving (31 technically). Further, thanks to some good prescription medicines (as well as some homemade concoctions) my surgical scars have flattened and slowly blending in with the rest of my scalp. That said, wish me luck and I'll keep you posted!

So far so good: On the 1st and 2nd, I used a DE...The last three days, I used my ATX, as I was working all weekend and I needed a quick shave. Tonight, since I'm off, I will go back to the DE.

How are the first couple of days coming along?

[Sir Harry]

Sorry, guys....I did it for seven days in a row, and missed yesterday....The A/C went out in the house and had the a/c man here all day.....By the time he finished it was time for me to go to work. So, starting today, I will start over. If I succeed this time my 30 days will be up June 7! But hey, seven straight days is a record for me!

Hi Harry, wishing you success in your challenge!

[Sir Harry]

I made it to seven days in a row again! Sadly, on day eight, I got called out to work on my day off and had to work 14 hours. I was too tired to shave. But I just had another thought. I've decided to put this challenge off for now. Why? While it's nice to shave for 30 straight days, I have a work and social schedule that is too full to commit. I've been sly for five years now and know I will stay sly. That said, I do appreciate the support, but I will go back to my every third day for now. Thanks again, folks!
