I’m flying out this morning and so did this pre-travel shave last night. It was just as good as the last three times I used it. Sir Irisch Moos has such a great base and scent.

@WegianWarrior@sub.wetshaving.social, Pork is right here. The issue is that when the bot creates the post, it doesn’t return a postID value, so I can’t easily just auto pin the thread. I have to do it manually each morning. When I have more time (likely next weekend or the following week) I need to figure out a way around the postID issue.

I own a shower mirror that is clearly based on this patent. My current shower situation doesn’t accommodate it, but I used it at the last place I lived and loved it. It works great.

Stirling’s mutton base is such a wonderful thing.

I’ve never washed my shaving brushes ever. I am considering doing a wash because I live in a hard water area, my water softener broke, and I think they need to get that hard water stuff stripped out. But, normally, I don’t wash them.

To be clear, I could be 100% wrong about this.

I know people were looking for apps for Lemmy? The iOS one, Mlem, just got an update to its beta that makes it slightly better? Not much, but slightly?

I’m away at a destination wedding, and instead of continuing my exploration of my DEs, I took the tried and true MM24. Such a great daily driver, it always gives me a great shave with little if any irritation.

The town we are in has a crazily well stocked independent grocery store. They had Thayer’s aftershave splash, which I had never seen before, so I decided to try it. It’s an alcohol based splash, and is not amazing nor terrible. The scent is a generic, inoffensive musky scent. I’d say it reminded me of Stirling’s aftershaves more than anything else. That’s not a criticism of Stirling or Thayer’s, they are both basic, serviceable splashes and I like that. But I see no reason to buy this again as I have Stirling.

Pixelfed is the Instagram of the Fediverse. Maybe you could use it as an Imgur alternative as well? I haven’t given it a try yet.

Thanks! I’d take you up on it if it wasn’t for the fact that for a bit more than the price of transatlantic shipping I can buy myself one. I don’t feel too compelled to buy a new razor right now, but when the urge strikes it’s good to know what I can look at.
