Nocturne is so good this time of year. This "older" vegan base is very easy to lather, but it loses slickness pretty quickly if you add too much water. It's pretty much ready to go with whatever water was in the brush during loading.
Block lemmy.ml and hexbear to start. I find their users to be quite toxic.
I'm definitely in the same boat. I have no interest in thin lather.
Thanks! By my math (thanks to using it during AA and weighing as I went), a tub of Stirling lasts me approx. 53 shaves.
Other people claim their 1oz samples last 30 shaves... That's crazy!

🚨🚨🚨 TUB KILL! 🚨🚨🚨
Same setup as yesterday (aside from the brush and aftershave), but a more comfortable shave.
I switched from portainer to dockge. Dockge makes updating a 1-click process which I love. Portainer is overkill for homelab, but I like how it lists things like images and networks.
I use zfs with Proxmox. I have it as a bind mount to Turnkey Fileserver (a default lxc template).
I access everything through NFS (via turnkey Fileserver). Even other VMs just get the NFS added to the fstab file. File transfers happen extremely fast VM to VM, even though it's "network" storage.
This gives me the benefits of zfs, and NFS handles the "what if's", like what if two VMs access the same file at the same time. I don't know exactly what NFS does in that case, but I haven't run into any problems in the past 5+ years.
Another thing that comes to mind is you should make turnkey Fileserver a privileged container, so that file ownership is done through the default user (1000 if I remember correctly). Unprivileged uses wonky UIDs which requires some magic config which you can find in the docs. It works either way, but I chose the privileged route. Others will have different opinions.

Back to DE shaving after a week with GEMs. Apparently not the best combo here, or maybe I'm just spoiled by GEM shaves :-)
I just adjusted the rudder servo on my RC airplane. It's a 3D plane with lots and lots of throw, and I adjusted the mechanical link to allow more physical movement of the servo itself. Basically like choking up on a baseball bat. It'll give me slightly more resolution in the rudder movement. It took me like an hour including fiddling around with the radio and watching a YouTube video to figure out why something wasn't working.

This tub is on the kill block. I used it for AA and there are only a few shaves left in it. I need to make room for the tub of Sea Ice Lime that I got in the https://spearheadshaving.com giveaway.
What's notable to me about Port-Au-Prince is that I started the month thinking it was a meh scent, and ended the month loving it. I never got sick of it, and even a month removed from the AA shenanigans I still find it a wonderful smell. I can see myself replacing it with some other vetiver scent eventually -- maybe from Mike's Natural?
Yeah, at the time I only heard that this zing version didn't smell right to people who had smelled the OG.
I'll probably pick one up in a couple years if it comes back again again.
