Day 70 (ish)
Where to start...
Firstly, my apologies for not posting these past 6 weeks or so. It was not intended and I should have reached out to my friends on here. We had a tough week or two as a family that I just didn't feel like posting during and then the time got away from me. We are okay now, no need to worry. No excuses, my bad. I know this thread is a 'drop in when you want' thread, but I very much value my time with my online friends here. Regardless, I will endeavour to be back amongst the participatory now.
I've kept going with the Fine Platinum, short for a week away (unintended) that I used Palmolive for. I think I'm within a day or two of day 70. I can see about 1/2 the bottom of the tub. It continues to be a great focus. I've snapped a few pics along the way as I've cycled through fave razors...the floating head... the karve... the new lc...the monobilt. A great month of hardware and software both. A few pics:

I will read the past several days, in hope that I am up on current events. Hopefully Charlie's jokes haven't been too bad in my absence...

Welcome back Jason. There is no need to apologize. We all understand life can interrupt posting on here.

Happy Tuesday. The first of several tax deadlines is this Friday. Yesterday was completely crazy and I anticipate more of the same each day this week. Last week, I sold 2 razors and decided to reward myself with a new brush. I ordered a Rover style brush from Rudy Vey. I decided to go with the Muhle XL STF knot. The brush arrived yesterday and given my complete lack of patience I used it this morning. Initial impressions are very good. I plan on using the brush a good bit over the next several weeks. Take care and have a great day. ​

A beautiful brush, Clint. Congrats! On first look, the knot is reminiscent of an Omega Evo.

Welcome back, Jason. We kept the light on for you.

Thank you Jason. I am sucker for the Rover style handles. Now that you mention it the knot is similar to the EVO. Perhaps it is a touch smaller.

AoS Sandalwood~~Semogue Mistura~~Feather AS-D2/Sharp Star~~Burt's Bees Bay Rum
Today, the only changes were the brush and the stank.
The AoS makes an unbelievably protective and slick lather.
On my lower neck, this is priority-one.
Even with the "mild" AS-D2, an ATG pass on the neck can be treacherous.
Not so, today.
The Burt's Bees has some added patchouli; something unusual in your typical Bay Rum.
Me likey.​

My math was off…60 days into the Fine 3017, not 70. Regardless, the end is within the next 2 weeks or so.
I’m not the biggest Gillette TTO fan, but this ‘Canadian Rocket’ is a nice shaver.

Happy Wednesday Everyone. This time change has left me exhausted. I just wish we would pick one time and stay with it for the year. This bouncing back and forth is way past getting old. Now that I am finished venting, I did have a wonderful shave to start the day. I must say that I am enjoying this soap much more than I anticipated. Take care and have a great day. ​

AoS Sandalwood~~Simpson CH2~~RazoRock Game Changer .84 OC/Sharp Star~~Royall Mandarin
This Game Changer rivals my Wolfman at 1/5th the cost.
Outstanding tool.
The CH2 really loads and is not too much of a lather-hog.
The highlight of the shave was the lovely, citrus scent of the Royall Mandarin.​

A nice shave today. This razor may be, imho, one of the most stunning shavers ever built; however, there are Gillettes made in the same decade that are better shavers.

Marching along!

Always wanted a TTO Aristocrat...

I agree and I really like the looks of the Senator as well.

Happy Thursday Everyone. I decided to go with the Hone 15S this morning. I have not used this razor since last November and had forgotten how nice it shaves. The razor had more blade feel than I remembered which was nice. Overall a fantastic drama free shave to start the day. I really can't expect more. Have a great day and take care. ​

Had a gorgeous Senator, which now resides with @gorgo2
What was I thinking...

I picked up a beater Senator last year, so perhaps we can work out something for its return to you!

Glad to hear from you Jason. I get it; I’ve been in a season like that too lately. And Charlie’s jokes are bad whether you are here or not. This once and for all answers the philosophical question “If Charlie tells a bad joke in a forest and you are not there to hear it, is it still bad?” Yes.
