With all the excitement yesterday, I completely forgot to post my shave.
Still on track with 366 Shaves in 2024: 73 for 73 = 100%.
Wednesday's shave was the same kit as Tuesday.
Same outstanding performance and results.

I forgot to reply on my excitement as well! Great news David! Very happy for the both of you. And yes long ways to go and those begin with the first step - coming home!
Blessings to your Lovely Bride and to you for seeing this through and being there for her.
Guido
Thank you for sharing the amazingly great news, @never-stop-learning !
David, I'm glad your wife has overcome obstacle number one... and will be returning home. That has to be a relief... and a concern at the same time, as you'll both be working overtime as she improves at home.
I am glad you are keeping us up-to-date on her progress. Thx.

My Lovely Bride is home. Got her all set up. Wheelchair and walker within reach. Physical therapist, occupational therapist and RN will be coming to the house. Lots of hours of hard work ahead.
Our circle of friends and neighbors are helping out With those times that I have an appointment scheduled.
I thought our 2 year old mini-Aussie was going to wiggle herself silly when she saw "Mom" after two months. I had her on a lead for the first couple of hours so she wouldn't go flying on to my Bride's lap. Things have calmed down.
Prayers sent for your wife’s improved mobility and health, David

Being able to shave every day is one of the things that has allowed me to keep my focus these past two months. Might not have been my usual 3-Passes plus touch-ups, but still exceptionally satisfying.
Catching up on posting this week's shaves. All shaves are with the following gear:
Razor: Above The Tie X1 Slant (Timeless Crown TRH8 Ti Handle)
Blade: Schick Proline P
Brush: AP Shave Co Red (AP Shave Co 30mm Cashmere Fan)
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Lather: Tallow + Steel Hokkaido
Aftershave: Clubman Pinaud
After today's shave, the Schick Proline P blade has 7 shaves and 10 passes.
Still current on 366 Shaves in 2024: 76 for 76 = 100%
My shaves with the ATT X1 Slant, Schick Proline P blade, and the rest of this kit have been superb in all respects.
The X1 Slant is firmly positioned as one of my Top 5 AC blade razors. It is an absolute pleasure to use.

366 Shaves in 2024: 77 for 77 = 100%
Single Edge Sunday
Steep Angle Shaving Alliance
Razor: Shield Polished Ti AC Razor (Rosseforp GTS 25g Handle)
Blade: Schick Proline P (8 shaves, 13 Passes Total)
Brush: Rudy Vey Butterscotch Beehive (Shavemac 24mm 2-Band Silvertip Fan)
Bowl: Captain's Choice Copper
Lather: Taconic Shave Bay Rum
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Cat O' Nine Tails
Sunday's shave was very nice. The Shield Ti is a very competent AC blade razor. I used it for 3 or 4 previous shaves with the Kai Protouch MG blade. The plan is to use it with the Schick Proline P blade this week and focus on how it compares to my Top 5 AC blade razors.
The Rudy Vey Butterscotch Beehive with the Shavemac 24mm 2-Band Silvertip Fan is one of my favorite badger brushes. Love it!
New cream this week: Taconic Shave Bay Rum. Excellent first impression. Soft, slick, protective. I'm very curious about this brand.
Post shave, Captain's Choice Cat O' Nine Tails sure gets your attention. Very nice!
Superb 3-pass shave.

Monday's shave with the Shield Ti went quite well. Smooth. The Shield Ti seems to like the Schick Proline P blade.

Caregiving is a full-time job, but one that I accept gladly.
My posting will be sporadic for awhile.
I am, however, still allowing myself the time to shave daily.

Thank you, John.
Every day I pray for the skills and patience to be a good caregiver.
Whatever it is David (the level of your caretaking skills), a happy wife is a happy life. So you win either way. And she’s home too and you get to shave.
Respect my friend!
