snooting@wetshav.ing 1 day agoI use a system (SDS) for tracking usage, so I’ll typically push a blade just to see how far I can take it. I’m not sure why, I just get a kick out of it.
Is the Simpson cream vegan, or is there tallow in the ingredients list?

I see. I could experiment and see how far I can push the Astras. I’m using Logseq daily so I could use that to log my shaves. It just hasn’t ever occurred to me, because I only shave 1-2 times a week. My skin can’t take a daily or a every-other-day shaves. The Simpson doesn’t list tallow as being one ingredient, but neither does it explicitly say it is vegan. But AFAIK eg stearic acid (which the cream contains) can be both vegan and animal origin, so go figure. It was one of those purchases “if it doesn’t contain tallow and I’m guessing it’s vegan, I’ll buy it”.
