My wife is out of town for the past few days. I’ve indulged myself by shaving with Varen, which she hates.
In the middle of the spring my allergies went absolutely nuts. I’ve had seasonal allergies my entire life but this just killed me. Called my doc and they said that it was the worst allergy season in their memory and prescribed me allergy meds that have helped a lot. Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll take a look this afternoon and let you know what I find!

My wife hates Varen. But she’s out of town so I get to use it. It’s such a perfectly dank scent. I also love how it’s in Stirling’s Sheep base, that’s one of my all time favorite bases.
Less than 24 hours since my last shave and the 5 felt too mild. Going to try it even milder tomorrow, just because.
I’m so used to the MMOC at this point that it feels only mildly aggressive at 9!
Great write up, I love Stirling.
I’d try it again without the image and see if it works. If not, let me know what time (down to the minute, if possible) you tried it and your time zone and I’ll check the logs.
Ball end tech is a magical razor. Feels mild and yet gives a great shave.
That’s odd—trying to make a post or trying to post a comment on a particular subLemmy? Let me know which one and which subLemmy and I’ll take a look.

Now that I’m back home from vacation, I’m back to trying my DEs again. I hadn’t shaved for a few days, and yet again the Slim Adjustable did a pretty good job with all that growth. I was getting irritation when I tried it on only one or two days growth, so it will be interesting to see how it goes later tonight or tomorrow.
Welcome! I decided to break out these two threads (Welcome Wednesday and DQT) to make creating the bot easier, honestly.
We tried to set this up as similar to the /r/WetShaving subreddit as possible. The main difference is that, since this is a server, we can create other subLemmys if we want. So some people have created ones for, say, !straight_razors@sub.wetshaving.social. But we’re trying to keep all of the main sub stuff here, and as similar to Reddit as possible.
Hope you enjoy this experiment!
I’m not sure I’ve ever run into that blade before. Interesting!
