  Another wonderful Wednesday shave.

  The brush, soap, and soap holder all came from Phil’s shop some years ago, while the razor was from the ‘Nook’s BST.

  A very good shave - I used a ridiculous amount of soap, which is apparently what is required in order to get a good lather going with hard water. I did something right when honing the Friodur – trouble is, I don’t quite know what.

  Have a good night!

      Watched it, thanks! Great video, with very helpful illustrations, and you dumbed down the material science to the point where I had the impression understanding 😂

      You seem to be on your way to wetstonetube fame - continue the good work!

      Very nice video, thanks! May I ask why you rekilled the edge on the 8k? Do you think there would already be enough fatigued material there?

    trouble is, I don’t quite know what

    I’ll be doing a Principles of Honing video in the next day or two. Hopefully, there will be some information there that will be helpful.

  Delicious - Djunior

  Weinstrasse and Armonía are a fun combo, very green and lively, and — most importantly — Djunior-approved.

    Kids are a ton of fun at that age. Are there scents that Djunior does not like?

    • djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I think he still takes his cues from me, so he mostly approves 😅

      But there are some scents here really likes and will compliment unpromtped, like Haverford (of course), and now Armonía
