Round-1 vs the snowfall is complete. I thought that I would shovel the driveway BEFORE the snow came, just to get ahead of things. 
Round-2 is also complete. Old man winter paid no heed to my preemptive actions and dumped a few inches for me to shovel this evening. But then again, maybe my earlier shoveling DID have an impact as it wasn't too hard to do. Hmmmm
Round-3 awaits in the morning, but the weather forecast says that the system has now passed us for the most part.

That’s ok Sam as apparently this year AZ is the snow birthplace. It should be there by Friday LOLRound-1 vs the snowfall is complete. I thought that I would shovel the driveway BEFORE the snow came, just to get ahead of things.

Feb.28 ASD2/Astra SP(3) ............ Paladin Sumo ........... TFS Rasozero Barbacco .......... Stetson milk
From a shaving perspective, February is in the books and all 28 days were with a DE. The Astra SP seemed to be okay after shave-3 on it, but the AS sting said it was time for the blade to be retired.
BTW snow shoveling was not needed this morning. Woohoo!

Nothing says it's Feb28th like buzzing your head down with no-guard clippers engraved with the initials of an honest to goodness celebrity barber.

Mar.01 Sensor(1-??) ....................... Paladin Sumo ........... TFS Rasozero Barbacco .......... Stetson milk
It's March and the freeze/thaw cycle has shorted out some of the few remaining logic circuits in my brain. I am kicking off the month by going back up to cartridge#1 in my fully used Sensor 5-pack. Going back through my historical logs, carts 1-3 were used in 2019 for an unknown number of shave each, cart-4 was used for 28 shaves (Feb) in 2021, and cart-5 was recently used for 7 shaves in Cozumel in January.
We'll see how this fares. The shave had the zip-zip sound of a cart and experienced some resistance, but the result was still good (better than meh, actually).

To follow this key and highly relevant Conan reaction up…one of my own
Thank goodness for your spreadsheet. I shudder to think of all the potential cart shaves that might have been lost!

Mar.02 Sensor(1-??+2) ............... Paladin Sumo ........... TFS Rasozero Barbacco .......... Stetson milk
Shave #mystery+2 on the 1st used sensor cart. It wasn't bad at all; a little bit of tightness post-shave on my face but no razor burn, alum sting or anything like that. To be the anti-Bruce, we'll see how long this one lasts.

As long as you document it, Sam. That's the key. It's important that future generations of shavers be able to study your records so that they may better understand our culture.Shave #mystery+2 on the 1st used sensor cart.

They may understand what sad fools we are better than we realize, however, using a cart and documenting it on a (nominally, i know) shaving forum, will mean Sam will historically be the undisputed king of a 'meh' shave!
That's some legacy right there

Mar.03 Sensor(1-??+3) ............... Paladin Sumo ........... TFS Rasozero Barbacco .......... Stetson milk
3 shaves in on my sensor cart#1 of unknown usage and you know what? It's doing the job! I'm also back on the elliptical machine to try to burn off my small belly bulge (but it's big enough for my wife to notice!) and today marks three days in a row. So far so good.
