Now you get it......
I think I need to talk to my boss about having a rest area at work just like @bentheduck

You’re the boss though! I guess it would be weird if your underlings say you hashing it out with yourself...
Do you need a letter from a paramedic explaining all the benefits? I got you.
I need to check them out someday.
I always find that it is best to beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission. Just say that you were taking initiative!

Good thing I looked at a few new posts before I got out of bed this morning. I forgot the cadre focused shave for today. Didn't really have to do much out of the ordinary because I can attribute a ton of what I have to the cadre. And many days I think how cool it is that I know the people that made, gave or "encouraged" me to have what I'm using. Especially when you take the enabler effect into account. @Majorrich gifted me the razor and the alum last Christmas. @Smattayu made the brush. @DocHoliday0831 gifted me the soap a few Christmases ago. And of course Stirling and @Joe Hackett to finish it off.

A&E Revolution AS
When I saw Dave had picked Revolution as one of his 5 soaps to keep I knew I needed to pull it out and be reminded what it's all about. I think I likely just burnt myself out on the slew of cologne copy type soaps. I like it, but I remember liking it more. Probably just a cycle thing. I'll focus on smoke, pine and leather for a while then head back to those others and citrus. Good soap though. Hey look, 100% of my shave this year have been straight shaves!
Got a couple of things done around the house yesterday. Not a lot and that's okay. If you saw my last video, the update for CoD finally finished downloading after 10pm. So I only played it for like 10min and headed to bed. I clearly need to schedule some time with it tonight!

2019 Shaving Year in Review
This year was marked with less variability in my hardware than past years. Getting old and settling down I guess. I need to either get rid of the stuff that wasn't touched or pull it out and use it this year.
Top 3 razors by use:
Blacklands Vector - 74 shaves
Feather SS - 63 shaves
Rockwell 6S - 62 shaves
runner-up Asylum RX - 47 shaves
This shows the lack of variation in what I'm grabbing. The top 3 are one from each type of shave. It also shows when the Vector taking over once it entered things with it having almost a month more of shaves than the RX.
Top 3 DE razors by use:
Rockwell 6S - 62 shaves
Timeless - 31 shaves
Super Speed - 30 shaves
Top 3 blades by use:
Feather Proguard - 116 shaves
Feather - 96 shaves
Schick Proline - 68 shaves
Again no surprise here as the Proguard is exclusively used in the SS and the RX. The Feather is my go to in the 6S, Super Speed and Psycho. And the Proline is the exclusive blade for the Vector.

Thanks! It's another non-sense number to shoot for I guess. How long can I keep it at 100%? I'm betting only 1-2 more days, but we shall see! I really am interested in seeing how plate 4 or 5 on the 6S feels again too.Congrats on the long stretch of straight razor shaves.
Dave let me try out his 6s and I made it a goal to try all the plates. Funny thing is I found one right in the middle, 4 I think, that was really rough but the rest were really good.

3 for 3! A little irritation on the cheek which is unusual and felt like the blade needed to be replaced. This one had been in the razor for a little while and the SS sits on the counter and gets moved so I'm somewhat suspect if it gets banged up from time to time.
Working on uploading a little project which should be a fun little watch. But since I goofed off doing that this morning, I need to get some work done! Well, after coffee.

Interesting. Thanks for the info, but Hope seems like an odd name for that soap!
