Another late evening shave. Is it just me or is it more difficult to find a moment of free time during vacation?

Is it just me or is it more difficult to find a moment of free time during vacation?

I've been known to take staycations to avoid the stress of a vacation.

I used to do the same, and it used to be glorious!

Nowadays, my wife and I need to use our vacation days carefully to cover the summer and winter breaks of Djunior's daycare.

Luckily for me, my company has a few company-wide R&R days every quarter in otherwise normal working days (i.e. Djunior at daycare and my wife at work) those mini-staycations are great

Still having consistently close and comfortable shaves with this blade. If it were a DE blade, I would expect to start feeling a change around this many shaves (8-10).
