I've seen it called black, green (my observation), and now gray. Interesting.

  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers – "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 4 SB
  • Blade: Personna 74 (1)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Caoba - Soap
  • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Musk - After Shave Cologne
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment

Not only do these blades last a long time, they also shave really well. At least according to the first shave...

Continuing the tub kill with Caoba. What a great, easy, woody scent.

The Era is one of my all time favorites, and I usually use the 3 plate. The 4 worked really well, too. Not as buttery smooth feeling as the 3, but a nice close shave.

Whew, long day. Nice shave this morning, this time with a nice mild razor. I much prefer this razor the the Parker 22R that I used yesterday. Super smooth. Maybe not quite as efficient as the 22R, but the comfort is exponentially higher.

New scent and artisan for me. I've heard good things about the scents from this guy. I didn't have any trouble lathering this soap, but I did load the entire Smush. It was an ample amount of soap, but I can't imagine using only half of the smush like some people! With hard water to boot!

Similarly to that other BVWSC member, I cut myself during this shave. I haven't used this razor in years, and now I remember why. It's all blade. I don't blame the soap for my cut because it was obviously my mistake. I also got some weepers. I just don't get along with aggressive razors, no matter how little pressure I use, etc. A DE blade just needs something to calm it down for me.

Nice unique scent! It reminds me a bit of Chiseled Face Vert Noir, but this one is better. Very Noir smells like fish food, and this one is more refined than that. Both are green in color.

Ah, thank you. I always get that mixed up. The doc on the phone did mention "secondary thingy".

TMIMy snot is dark yellowish.

That's very good to know, though. Bacterial doesn't sound as contagious as viral, but I might be wrong about that aspect of it.

I'm cognizant of antibiotic resistant bacteria and feel like I did my due diligence by waiting so frickin' long. I have some important work and travel stuff coming up immediately, so it was time to kick this thing if possible.

Thanks! This whole time has been pretty mild. Still working, etc. That's probably why it's so widespread here - everyone is going about their day with whatever virus.

Pretty great, except this blade is pretty much done. I took a break from killing Caoba because that tub is now packed away in my suitcase for my trip to Atlanta for training. I also packed my envelope of soap from @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social for use tomorrow. Woot!

You & I (Will Die) has really grown on me. Once I found out that the volatile hit up front was "floral" I found a new respect for it. Of my Mammoth tubs, of which I have 3, it's my favorite. I still want a tub of Voices if Ben ever changes the label on it (which might happen now that Lather Talk has ended?).

I finally did a tele-health call today, since I've been sick on and off (more on than off) for well over a month now. The doctor on the phone was like "uh, yeah, usually we tell people to wait 10 days, so you're well past that". It was a super fast call, and I already have some antibiotics in me doing their thing. Yahoo!

[–] walden 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

Buying a camera now is basically for one thing - having quick access to physical knobs and buttons to change settings on the fly. Same goes with being able to manually zoom quickly, or focus quickly on a particular object in the frame.

You can accomplish this sort of thing with a cell phone camera, but not quickly. By the time you're done fussing around with it, the motorbike covered in ducks has sped off down the road.

I bought a Nikon D90 in Vietnam about 12 years ago. It was more expensive than it would have been in the US. Someone here might recommend a good camera, but either you won't be able to find it locally, or it'll be out of your budget. The D90 was already somewhat obsolete when I bought it, but damn did I get some really great pictures that I'll cherish forever.

I recommend going to a local shop, preferably with a local friend. Try and touch stuff as much as you can.

Watch some videos on aperature, exposure, ISO, and what you can accomplish with those things. I generally prefer letting the camera pick ISO and exposure automatically, and having manual control of aperature. I found that gave me good control of getting the effects I wanted (short depth of field, for example).

It might be lower now, but depends on whose sending out the soap. A couple of our people pop in from time to time and don't get a chance to nominate or vote.

I'm doing the initial burn in on my wife's new air fryer. (self.dull_mens_club)
 

Wife wanted an air fryer for X-mas. Sure, it's a bit on the "stereotypical gender roles" side of gift giving, but who am I to deny her what she wants?

I unboxed it for her and it says to do a 30 minute cook with no food in it to get rid of the burning plastic smell, so I cleaned everything and now it's baking away the extra plastic.

The kitchen smells like burning plastic.

I can't wait for some crispy fries and other assorted foods.

Our boiler is getting its yearly tune up. (self.dull_mens_club)
 

We have a service contract with a local heating oil company. It includes 1 tune up per year. I asked him a couple of questions and he was nice and answered them. One of the parts he was replacing had stripped threads and he had to wait for the parts truck to deliver a new one, but it's covered by the service contract.

Right now he's in his truck, doing paperwork I assume.

I stepped in dog poop again, which prompted me to fashion a shorter hose. (self.dull_mens_club)
 

We have two dogs which create lots poop in the back yard. I stepped in some for the second night in a row and finally decided to create a short hose for quick shoe rinses.

The problem with a longer hose is we have to straighten out all 50 feet and make sure it's drained so water doesn't freeze inside (short term it's probably fine, but I want these hoses to last). So a quick spray of water turns into a bit of a chore.

This shorter hose is super easy to drain and hang. Good stuff.

[Show and Tell] Removing a synthetic knot from a handle (self.wetshaving)
submitted 2 months ago by walden to c/wetshaving
3 comments fedilink
 

Not long ago I won a beautiful brush handle from Peter at Wolf Whiskers in a charity raffle. It came with a great synthetic knot, but it was lofted too short for me. I decided to remove it so I can put something else in.

I emailed Peter and he confirmed that all of his brushes are assembled with epoxy. I didn't want to risk steaming the handle, but the Discord chat convinced me to try a 5 minute steam, which I did... 5 minutes isn't long, and it didn't work.

Not wanting to further risk a total failure (the handle is in 2 pieces, plus it has a coin in the bottom), I went back to plan A - mechanical destruction.

Picture 1: I used a box cutter with a fresh blade to slice most of the hair off

Picture 2: I used a combination of a small cutoff wheel and a grinder bit on a Dremel tool and started slowly chipping away at things.

Picture 3: This bit worked the absolute best. It's small, so it took a while. It also created TONS of dust, so I had to do this outside.

Picture 4: This is pretty much the end result. It was very difficult to know when to stop. The end of the knot/epoxy and beginning of "handle" was never really obvious. In the end, the hole was 15.5mm deep, and 26.5mm wide.

I did mess it up in a few spots. The keyless chuck on the dremel has some knurling which made contact with the ferule a few times, despite me trying to be careful. I was able to buff them a little bit and they're only noticeable if you're looking closely at it.

I still haven't decided which knot to put in it, but it's a beautiful handle!

I do realize that this is a bit like asking "what's the best razor?", but what strop should I start with for my imminent Moarteen Koraat?

All I know about strops is they come in leather, cotton, probably some other materials... and I seem to remember hearing denim works fine.

I'm in the USA, but buying from overseas isn't out of the question.

Thanks!

[META] Suggestions for a URL that points towards a different front end. (self.wetshaving)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by walden to c/wetshaving

Sup everyone. Hope you're all enjoying the season of decorative gourds.

I know a lot of you just use mobile apps (yay, mobile apps!), but for the few that also use a web browser, I've been slowly rolling out alternative "front ends". The normal URL (https://sub.wetshaving.social) has the default front end. It is honestly pretty good, if not a tad dated.

Most recently we brought online https://old.wetshaving.social, which is designed to look like old.reddit.com. Even though I'm used to that layout from real-reddit, I'm still finding it a bit lacking for Lemmy, especially from a moderator point of view.

Next, we want to introduce the Alexandrite front end. @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social already uses this, accessible from https://alexandrite.app/sub.wetshaving.social. Feel free to check it out there until we get ours behind https.

Anyway, we want to run our own instance of Alexandrite, which will be locked to our lemmy server, simplifying the experience for people like @sahenders@wetshaving.social.

All that is to say, we need a URL to put it behind.

So far, the suggestions are:

gem.wetshaving.social - Alexandrite is named after a gem on the devs wife's ring, and of course there's the GEM connection with our hobby.
alx.wetshaving.social
new.wetshaving.social - simply the opposite of old.wetshaving.social

Please leave your ideas, good or bad. Often our worst ideas turn out to be great, so don't be shy.

THANKS!

Do you miss the layout of OLD reddit? Do you wish Lemmy looked liked that? Well, check this out... https://old.wetshaving.social

Maybe someone will find it enjoyable to use.

There are some limitations to this front-end, but I don't know enough about it yet to give any advice.

Technical details:

This front-end is called "mlmym". https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

Like everything else with Lemmy, it might break in the future. All it does is change how stuff is displayed. Think of it like a theme.

There are other front ends available, but this is the only one that we've implemented so far. There's one that makes it look like an old-school forum (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmyBB), and one called Alexandrite that looks very interesting https://lemmy.world/post/1095076. I might play with that one in the future.
