A simple shower'n'shave this morning, and that's exactly how things are supposed to be!

Sensor(4-28+2)

I never counted shaves when using a cart - I'd just keep them till I'd finally notice my shaves were starting to suck.

= -22

 

[woodpusher]

That explains my shaves! This cart is newer than new!

A little rough on the neck this morning but no pulling, so this one has to be chalked up to user-error ... maybe. We'll see what happens the next few days.

A nice late morning shave, but some minor issues on the side of my neck with some swirly growth Yesterday was a good day, as my brother his wife, my niece and nephew, and my mom came over for fish tacos and a week-early surprise BDay cake for my mom who is turning 86 next Friday. We also played Telestrations and it's way more fun than I thought it would be.

 

[GearNoir]

It’s never too early for early birthday cake!

 

[woodpusher]

Mom definitely agrees!

 

[MarkB]

Early Happy Birthday to your mom!!!

Lots of alum sting this morning and my face feels tight. I think this cart is done after 33 shaves, with only 5 of them being "bonus" shaves. Back to my ASD2 and Injector starting tomorrow, and I will save the last cart from the 5-pack, which has only 7 shaves on it, for the net time I go on vacation.

So glad! I was getting worried...

You're not even gonna try for 75?

 

[woodpusher]

First non-cart shave since the end of February and it might take me a day or two to unlearn the whole "use pressure and MULTIPLE buffs on a near-dead cart to remove whiskers" thing that I have been doing for well over a month now. A little teeny tiny bit raw, but more than good enough. At least my face and neck and not red and no weepers. I'll get there .... I think.

Forget the carts and never go back, Sam....

From a dead cart to a so-so blade. You are living the dream, Sam. It's a nightmare, but it's yours.

As you say...
