That is one mighty fine blade you have there!
Forget about the problems with the lady friend.
Here's some (funny, but real) therapy. :-)

Tuesday evening
Hot water prep
Iwasaki Kamisori 8/8 - Acca Kappa 1869 sc - Silvertip badger brush - cold water splash - alum block - T&H 1805 asb - hot towel - Acca Kappa Muschio Bianco AdC

Yes! My first ever Nihon Kamisori shave! Awesome in one word. The razor was shave ready when it came in and I just had the amount of stubble to take away.
I am a bidextral shaver since about a year now and going back to using just one hand for all the moves needed a bit of adjustment. Had to experiment a bit more than I thought and thus had lather drying out a bit and scored a couple of small nics in the process. Easily closed with the cold water and the alum.
Overall BBS in two passes and very close to a new wave of RAD...
Will it ever stop?

Thanks Sleek! The Maca root is a good cream. I took a chance and bought it for a song during one of Body Shop's big sales. It turned out to be one of those pleasant surprises.
