No need for camo on my face anymore, but I still like the shave.
I agree that you don't need fancy new razors, but the preshave oil and soap combination were amazing. I'm italian so I have rough facial hair, but I'm also irish so I have sensitive skin and it was the smoothest my face ever felt without any irritation. But I do agree how expensive it is (around $100/mo) and I couldn't deal with that. But it was nice since I got their weekly starter kit for free as a promotion for a new store that opened.

It's not bad to brave it every now and then as long as you are safe and confident you can make it in. Your work will now think of you as a better employee who they can rely on and it could really help you out in the long run

Stay safe though Justin!!!

Well, I just read the new Army promotion policy. I don't think I have a chance of making it to SSG before I get out. Oh well...

Thanks augi. I have always liked the dark chrome look. I am pretty sure that they carry the look in a can.

Hi Sergeant Miller `Greg, if they won't promote you, we will & make you a SSG...Are you now a E-5 or E6 (if I remember the ranks correctly)...When does your enlistment end ? Would you get the promotion `if you re-enlisted ?
If you don't re-enlist ~>? what type of work will you pursue ?
We could start a campaign & we could all email your First Sgt & give our endorsement....Don't give `up & keep do'in your best 2 get 2 where U wanta `be 4-Sure....Good Luck : )
========================================
`Augi, I like those Rim's, but I'd keep them stock (?), but they aren't mine, so be creative & do what U like best....That's what mades everybody's car their own style : ) 4-Sure...
Look forward to reading & seeing what U `do...
=================================
`Justin, be careful out there...I just watched the noon news & they showed vid's of your area of the country...WOW...
Take it E.Z. driving 4-Sure...
========================================
Mod `Mike & Dave, If shaving cost $100 a month, then I am now happy that I don't have to shave that often 4-Real : )
Maybe I can glue some hair 2 my face from other area LOL
----------------------------------------------------------------
I had to get `up to relieve a security guard @ the gate that got sick until another arrived...I was having a great dream about racing cars when I was awaken : (
============================
Go'in back in2 recharge Mode...Still tired & outa `gas...
-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks everyone for all your contributions.
Peace/Happiness to all reading my words from `Space : )

Thanks 'Space. I am a Sergeant (E-5). A re-enlistment would only give me the additional time to promote. It wouldn't help me directly. When I get out; I will probably do the same thing that I do now. I don't mind the Corrections aspect of my job, but I truly enjoy the Law Enforcement side of it.
