So today was my first day at my new job, well if you can really count it. I spent the entire day in orientation. Me and 2 other new employees sat through an 8 hour long information session. The information ranged from basic company background information to benefits explaination and everything in between. It was a complete information overload. I think there were about 7 different people who came and told us stuff and showed us around the building. My favorite part is that almost everyone of them said something to the effect of “Now I know your not going to remember all this because we are giving you so much information today…” I just think that is great. They know they are giving you way to much info to take it all in but they do it anyway. Why not just give us some information today and the rest tomorrow? I mean we could do like a half a day of orientation and a half day of “learning your job function” and then remember so much more of it. Oh well. Wednesday I actually go in and start my actuall job though not my actuall shift. Its all good, I am looking forward to it. I hope it all goes well.

A New Way to Shave
For the past few years I have been using my trusty Mach 3 straight razor to handle my shaving needs. It has been a good razor, but I was getting tired of constantly spending money on replacement blades. At the same time however, I was unsure of how to handle this situation as it was either shave or join the Amish. Of course I always had the option of getting an electric razor, but I had had a bad experience with one many years back. On the one occasion I had used an electric razor I remember it feeling like the hair was being ripped from my face.
Well yesterday I decided to give an electric razor another chance, I mean after all there have been many changes in shavers since I last used one. Now I had been thinking about getting one for a while now and I finally settled on the Norelco Cool Skin Lotion Dispensing Razor Model 7735X. After bringing it home, reading the owners manual and allowing it to fully charge, I gave it a try this morning.
I am happy to say that I am very pleased with the results. The razor gives a nice close shave that leaves my face just as smooth as my old straight razor did. In addition to this I did not end up with “razor burn” like I used to with my straight razor. This alone is a nice bennifit to me, as my beard does not tend to grow in a normal fashion. As such there is one spot on my neck that always ends up red and irritated after I shave and can be that way for a day, however after shaving today with the new Norelco I do not have that.
The only draw back for me was the razors size. It is obviouisly a lot larger than the razor I am used to and as such will take some getting used to. That aside I find that I am looking forward to mastering the use of my new razor, and with Norelco’s 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee, I know I will have time to see if I can fully adjust to its use.
