snooting

Yeah, this is certainly geared more toward folks who are already using/familiar with neovim.

If what you're doing ain't broke, don't fix it! :)

Thursday, November 14, 2024: SLS - Nocturnal

• Brush: Yaqi - Mysterious Space 24mm 2-band Badger
• Razor: Rockwell - 6C
• Blade: Bic - Chrome Platinum (2)
• Lather: Barrister and Mann - Nocturne
• Post: Stetson - Cooling Moisture Aftershave splash
• Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
• Frag: Stirling - Stirling Gentleman EdT

Tonight I used the Yaqi badger to compare it with the v24 Fanchurian I've been testing out over the last few days. The Fanchurian is certainly softer and denser, but the Yaqi honestly still made a great lather. It does do a worse job holding the lather in the knot (a lot falls through to the bottom) but still performed admirably.

Nocturne is a great scent. Unfortunately my wife doesn't love it, so I probably will stop with just the sample.

Praise Friday.

Nice, I’m glad you enjoyed it! It’s a very simple scent, but it really feels great on the skin.

Thursday, November 14, 2024: FLS - Mango Mammoth

• Brush: Grizzly Bay - v24 Fanchurian 26mm badger
• Razor: Rockwell - 6C
• Blade: Bic - Chrome Platinum (1)
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Voices
• Post: Mennen - Skin Bracer Aftershave splash
• Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
• Frag: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique EdT

On theme this morning with a mango sticky rice lather. I think this is my first time using the HoM base, and it gave me a stellar lather.

I'm not the biggest fan of sweet scents, but this wasn't cloying at all. I doubt I'd buy a full tub, but it's nice to have a sample kicking around.

Almost to the weekend y'all!

I'm also vaguely considering a refactor to use a sqlite file instead of json. I think that would be a better experience, even though the file format is more opaque.

Plus then I could in theory track my shaves in the database and do my own analytics!

Something like this might work (caveat that I haven’t tried it)

https://csvjson.com/

You’d lose the blade count tracking though unless you tossed the json back into csv format after each shave.

I wonder how difficult it would be to support csv as a format. Would that meet your needs, or would .xlsx be necessary?

• Lather: Stirling - Haverford
• Post: Stirling - Haverford Aftershave splash

An easy two pass shave tonight. Haverford just felt right for a chilly, dark, autumn evening.

I'm running low on the Haverford EdT and AS samples. I might need to get another Stirling order in the mail...

Well that's not what you want! 😄

I haven't, but the description sounds right up my alley. I love a good tobacco scent.

Razorock - Puros - Aftershave

Oro Valley + Puros sounds like a winning combination.

It's definitely a pretty one!

Easy luxury (™️) shave this morning. The Bolzano blade is still performing well, and Sandpiper is a lovely scent for a sunny day. No notes.
