Use the Fat, Luke!
I am at the point of the sabbatical where I am starting to get very, very curious about other razors. Blackland Dart, iKon Standard B1, being objects of desire.
My amazon list is up to date, but when my wife asked me what I wanted for father's day, I ultimately told her to save the money. I am patiently waiting for the Stirling SS to release, and that set is my exception. I have waited this long, might as well wait a little longer...

We’re almost to the half way point. It’s hard to believe that six months of the year are behind us.
I was asked by my wife what I wanted for father's day and I replied - nothing. I didn't think I said it in a way that had an asterisks or footnote but an Anova sous vide stick just showed up at the house. Maybe I am not performing up to par in the grilling department? Although being able to pull steaks from the freezer at noon, toss in a bag and let swim the the aquarium for a couple hours takes way less planning time than thawing in the fridge for a couple days.
As far as shaving stuff goes... I still really like @JAHE 's SOTD pictures. At the risk of offending him I will toss out the old photography joke - "Wow, you take such good pictures, you must have a great camera."
I have an over abundance of shave stuff to keep me supplied for at least a decade (probably two).

Glad it wasn’t shaving related! While off topic for this thread, Sous Vide is a game changer. Perfect meat every time. Great for veggies. I triple batch everything I cook now and vacuum seal and freeze for week day dinners that are thawed on demand using sous vide. It saves so much time and effort.
I was just reading on the net that sous vide is the next thing in keeping lather warm - move over scuttle 
FWIW, my test run was frozen steaks -> fish tank -> grill.... perfect and happy family. I fear that a vacuum sealer will be in my future - but this is the wrong thread to talk about it. Unless it is to talk with me on the "great race" as provisions.... ya thats the ticket.

Hi,
Stick meat and veggies in aluminum foil. Use safety wire and tie same to manifold. Ready to eat at the night stop. And, yes, I have done this many times.

Hi,
I ought to add that this was pretty normal for the long hauls cross country to the road courses. The manifold, of course, was the tow vehicle and not the race car. Usually, we'd go two to a crew cab with two cars in the trailer and then the drivers would switch and sleep in the back seat. Dinner came at a rest stop for a driver switch. We'd just plain go until we got there.

Thank you, Sir. I am not offended at all. All pics have been taken with my ancient mobile phone cam (and sometimes some minor software adjustments), so it's a compliment if someone likes them.
Here is another one...

Back from a short vacation; breathing some fresh air, staring at the sea.
And in the evenings, this little guy reminded me of the importance of celebrating the simple joys in life:
Now back to everyday world.
I'm still on track and not overly tempted to buy something new.

SOTD:
Razor: Fatip Lo Storto
Blade: Shark Platinum (2)
Brush: APShaveco Silksmoke
Cream: CRS Wild Rose
Aftershave: Gillette Cool Wave
Today's shave was a three pass shave. The shave was bbs with a dfs on my neck. Shark Platinums are a very good blade. They rank right up there right with Silver Star in my opinion. The gnome looks like he's taking a whiz behind CRS Wild Rose. This was not my intention.
