Cal Ripkin Challenges - 2,632 in a Row (The hardest challenge in B&B)

I am at 18 days of shaving in a row, which might be the longest I have gone with daily shaves. My skin is feeling great and I am really enjoying my time. I am not sure I am committing to continue for the next decade, but I am having fun for now.

The days will add up. Then one day, you may discover you don't want to break the streak because you'd have to start over.

I wear size 12 EEEE shoes. I've run and walked so many miles over the years that my feet grew from 9 1/2 D when I was in the Air Force.

I'm back to being a normal single-setup shaver. I don't think about buying anything different.

Meanwhile, I'm heavily back into jogging. Not a lot of miles yet, but I'm getting there.

I'm listening to books as I jog. It's kind of like giraffes and acacia trees. The more I jog the more I want to jog so I can listen to more books.
 
this really is not for the faint at heart, however I see how it can be done, I went like almost a straight year using only my Simpson Badger brush, I think I used my Omega Proraso brush about 5 times in that stretch.

I think a more realistic challenge would be 2,632 shaves straight. Regardless of what products you use, that would at least give you some variety for when things get stale and bland.

I can't imagine, knowing what I now know and having experienced what I've experienced, doing the Cal Ripken single set-up challenge.

Having said that, I got my Feather SS shavette last year and used it for the first time on August 24th. Since then I have not used any other razor. So I'm now over 5 months. Which, by B&B standards, is a VERY long time, lol.

The single setup challenge has been easy for me. The only problem will be if my razor or brush breaks. If one of them does, I may change the rules to allow a new one of the same type.

The hard one is the 10,000 step challenge.
