  • Brush: Zenith/Stirling - 510SE-XL 31mm boar brush
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Titanium Legacy Razor
  • Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (4)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Paganini's Violin
  • Post: Barrister and Mann - Paganini's Violin Aftershave splash
  • Post: Ginger's Garden - Unscented AS balm (+ menthol)
  • Frag: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Armoatique EdT

First shave with the new boar brush and with Paganini's Violin.

The brush, being brand new, is very much eating lather which made it a bit difficult to get the hydration right. We got there in the end though.

Both of these are great additions, I'm glad to have them around.

Most excellent, thank you!

Ah, thanks for the info. I'm 100% alright with a larger handle, I might even prefer it.

Rod already got a replacement brush in the mail for me, and told me to keep this one as well! I'm looking forward to shaving with it tonight. :)

Oh, I'd love one if you could spare some!

You have my address already, yeah?

It's a great razor!

I'm tentatively in on Vespers, it sounds like an interesting scent. Do you only have the shave soap? I'm wondering whether it's worth picking up the trifecta.

I might start with just a sample though, given that I've never put nose to scent.

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay - v24 Fanchurian 26mm badger
  • Razor: RazoRock - Game Changer .68
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (3)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber
  • Post: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber Aftershave splash
  • Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm

Not my best lather this morning as I was rushing through to finish before a morning meeting. Still great results though, the CF base always performs well for me.

Have a good day y'all!

+1, sounds like a great plan

Yeah you’re right, after sleeping on it I’m pretty sure the misalignment would continue to bother me. I emailed them this morning.

It’s such a silly and minor thing to care about, but damnit I do! :)

Yep I sent them an email with images of the brush. I tried to make it clear that I assume the issue is with Zenith QA, we’ll see what they say.

After thinking about this for a few minutes, this is almost certainly over-complicating things.

Why don't we try disabling anonymous voting and have folks input their usernames? I think we can trust that people won't try to game the system.

I would be fine with creating a burner gmail address for this purpose.

Though this is perhaps more friction than we want for the voting process?

It also wouldn't be too difficult to self-host this and throw it on an authenticated route. I'm not very familiar with the architecture of lemmy, but in theory we could leverage our existing username/password to access the RCV app.

Easy second luxury shave this evening. I'm a big fan of Ramblin' Man (clone of Creed Himalaya), and it's arguably my wife's favorite scent.
