  My smush for the next BVWSC arrived today, looking forward to it!

  In worse news, the GEM Damaskeene open comb that I bought from a community member was stolen from our building’s mail room by a food delivery person this week.

  I’m super disappointed about it, but it’s unfortunately just a part of living where we do. Hopefully I can find another in good condition soon.

    I got my smush from @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social , too! I hope the porch pirate knocks on your door to get recommendations for what kind of blades to use in it 🤣.

      Ha! Honestly I’d be relieved to know that someone is using it. I suspect they threw it away once they realized it wasn’t something obviously valuable.

  I got some honing equipment in the mail over the past week. I got a Naniwa 10k synthetic and an Atoma #600 diamond plate to use as a flattener/lapper.

  I don’t have any straight razors yet, but spent some time on one of my kitchen knives. I need to set the bevel of the knife, and even the #600 seems to be too fine to do the work quickly! But that’s ok, at least I can play around with it and maybe eventually get the bevel set (using a guide clip).

  Lapping the synthetic stone was a little scary! It felt like I was taking a lot of material off, but of course in reality I’m not. I stopped after a little while but I’m going to draw pencil lines on it and go at it again to make sure it’s actually all the way flat.

    For knives, this is pretty good advice

  I got 300ml of Tabac Aftershave today. Finally I will be able to enjoy the full aroma of the wirtschaftswunder

    That’s a lot of aftershave

      Ask not whether you will live long enough to use all that aftershave; ask how much you can use in one go without dying or suffering an insta-divorce
