Angloitalohelveticogerman Shave

A Wade & Butcher Celebrated Fine India Steel Razor with original horn scales leaning against a stick of Sir Irisch Moos soap and a bottle of Swiss Pitralon splash next to a Zenith B21 brush

  • Razor: Wade & Butcher Celebrated Fine India Steel Razor -13/16 near wedge with barber's notch
  • Brush: Zenith B21 (XL chrome-plated copper handle, 28 mm knot with 50 mm loft)
  • Lather: Sir Irisch Moos
  • Aftershave: Pitralon Swiss version

Exciting first SOTD on our shiny new Lemmy instance. This one is a bit of a copy of an SOTD by @timbuktu@sueden.social and as soon as (or if, we'll see) federation gets turned on this instance, he'll even be able to get a ping for credit.

I'm very curious where this experiment will lead, and whatever the outcome, I'm happy we're trying this hobby outside of big social.

To the shave: This Wade & Butcher is pure gold. I don't use it very often even though it's a fantastic razor because I try to preserve its condition. That's probably dumb.

As always:

Irisch Moos ++; Pitralon ++;

Question: What do we think about embedding pictures like I just did. Yay or nay?

I dig this embedded pictures thing in sotd threads. saves me one click.

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 3 points 1 year ago

Yay! This Lemmy thing is better than reddit!

I like it personally! It’s a cool added element to a post.

[–] djundjila 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not too r/wicked_edge? I also like it, but I wonder if it becomes overwhelming if many do it.

By the way, have you figured out how to username mention? @merikus@wetshaving.social seems a bit cumbersome @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social @djundjila@wetshaving.social

[–] merikus 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wonder if I can just @iamsms?

[–] merikus 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] merikus 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess all that works is @iamsms@sub.WetShaving.social.

[–] djundjila 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no, it's worse, you start tying the @beginningofthename, wait for about 5 seconds, and it'll autocomplete, but like a full on markdown link like so [@merikus@wetshaving.social](https://wetshaving.social/users/merikus)

[–] merikus 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh wow. So like @iamsms@sub.wetshaving.social? Happy it’s possible, but that is cumbersome. At least you can edit the text in the markdown, to shorten it for folks.

[–] djundjila 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yup. Not sure whether the mentions get federated, though. Let me ping your mastodon and see @merikus@wetshaving.social

any mentions on the mastodon?

[–] merikus 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] djundjila 1 points 1 year ago

yeah, this mentioning business doesn't seem to be compatible. oh well.
