u/MrTangerinesky - I swear I didn't try to copy your last SOTD photo. I do these a day in advance thanks to timezone fuckery, so your photo wasn't even out yet. I swear!
Yesterday night I noticed the wings on my little Aristocrat Junior were losing their shine and sparkle from all of the repeat shaves. Not sure if it was psychosomatic, but it also felt like the cap was dragging/skipping a bit because of that build-up of soap scum/mineral residue (though it could also have just been the lather itself).
Oh well. Nothing a quick scrubdown and microfibre polish couldn't fix. It looks brand new again and still shaves like a dream. The Nacet is also settling in very well. It's certainly lost a bit of the bite it had when it first came out of the tuck, but it still slices through hairs with no problems.
Not much else to report, really. My shaves are getting later and later - need to make sure I get them in before midnight every day else I'll just say 'fuck it' and bin AA. Been too busy of late to stick to my usual 7-8pm time slot.
