  Good shave. Strange scent that I really enjoy. This is basically the avocado toast of my selections.

  The Days Of Weckoning are upon us

  • Brush: Rubberset 400-3 with a 26 mm unbleached Zenith boar knot at 56 mm loft
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade Med Prep
  • Blade: Kismet Rostfrei, Polymer beschichtet (8)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Oceana
  • Post Shave: Ralon – Original
  • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. – Island Man

  So, I came down with something, started AA with fever and a splitting headache, and almost didn’t post yesterday.

  Today I’m feeling marginally better, and I actually enjoyed my shave. Three passes with a Kismet, Soft Heart, and Oceana is a pretty great combination.

  AA Day 2! I typically don’t shave every day, so this is going to be an interesting month for me. Did a 2 pass shave (WTG & XTG). Not a bad shave. The underside of my jaw, though, remains to be a challenge area. My goal for the month is to master that area.

    Sea (Sp)ice lime was my AA scent for the last two years. So nice for summer!

      I agree. I prefer cooling soaps, so I went with SIL. My phone clocked 108°F today, so I’m happy about the cooling.

  • Brush: Maggard 24mm G5 Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Personna 74 (9)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Lavanille - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Coniferous - Witch Hazel & Aloe

  Whew. Love it. I enjoyed using /u/visceralwatch’s Karve Overlander very much, but going back to this razor… I have as much thrill for the Era Level 3 as he has for the Overlander.

  To be fair, this blade is hitting its stride, and the past couple of shaves with the Overlander were with a different blade. I take back what I said about the Overlander feeling like a Henson. After a few shaves, I disagree with that. It “gives you the angle” without “giving you the angle”. It works great for n00bs and experts alike.

  One more shave left in this tub. It started falling apart today, so I might have to treat it like a sample tomorrow.

  In other news… my FAVORITE old Reddit app (Sync for Reddit), was released as Sync for Lemmy. I’m pretty stoked!

    I don’t think that there is. This is what it looks like here:

    I haven’t found a way of choosing a default order within a post (AFAIK, this is not possible in jerboa or wefwef).

    Me too. I’m still using it for Reddit (revanced), but I downloaded it for Lemmy. It’s working great!

      That’s cool. I didn’t know you could do that. Do you just use your own API key or some such?
