Shave 52 with the Bunny V2.2 and 49 with the Personna 74 loaded went very well. The picture didn't turn out quite like I was hoping but I didn't have time to keep fiddling around with the setup.

Somehow I got my shave count off. I just went through and double double checked my text thread with the razors creator Tom White. To the best of my knowledge I have texted him every shave so far. According to that record of shaves the updated shave count is now 55 consecutive shaves with the Bunny V2.2 and 43 with the Personna 74 loaded. As of yesterday's shave pictured here.
