    AA Day 25! Did 2 passes on my face, and 3 on my neck. Just did top-down, outside-in, then top-down on my neck instead of following my grain. Not the closest shave, but it looks fine.

    More road shavin'. Nothing eventful about the shave itself, but we did have an unfortunate event nonetheless: the appearance of the dreaded ring of death. This is rather sad as it means my shaves with this gorgeous soap are now definitely and visibly limited, and I hate to see a good friend go. There have been some very nice people on here who offered to help me source a replacement tub, and I will need to take one lucky poster up on that offer very soon.

    Besides that, nothing much to report. I suppose we're now officially less than 7 days away from the end of this marathon, so there's that. Counting down the days before I will have to farewell this beautiful set for a bit (or at the very least have it enter a less frequent rotation in the effort of preserving it). Starting to think about what my first shave in September will be. Some of you have been talking about that for a while now, but I've tried to stay away from it because I didn't want to get tempted. It'll be a tough choice for sure.
