I have lost count on my shaves and even going days with no shave. I believe my count to be between 34-36 give or take a few.

Method of lather: Face
Quality of lather: Kind of Slick

Aftershave: Honeybee Gardens Key Lime + GFT Coral Skin Food

The doughnut shaped soap started spinning in the wood bowl. It made it a bit difficult to lather. I will try again tomorrow, and if it happens again, I will probably grate it into the wood bowl. This will allow me to lather on a flat surface again.

D.R. Harris Arlington Shave #59

Razor: C. V. Heljestrand MK 31
Brush: RazoRock Amici
Soap: D.R. Harris Arlington + KMF Lavender
Method of lather: Face
Quality of lather: Pretty Slick
Post: Alum
Aftershave: Honeybee Gardens Sandalwood Splash

I did a super lather today, with the KMF, to try to get a bit of slickness. I may add just a little squirt for each shave from here on out. It just seems to help a touch.
 
I'm still 3017'ing my puck of Arlington. It probably has 50-60 shaves on it so far. I'd guess I'm at the halfway point, maybe slightly past.

On the weekend I tried to cheat with a sample of Mike's orange/pepper/cedar. It felt...weird. Getting back to Arlington was a relief and I'll miss it when it's done.
