It’s been kind of a wild year.

Excellent, the plugin now fires as expected. I’ll give it a shot for tomorrow’s SOTD post. Thanks!

I didn’t think about going and looking for your dotfiles, I’m sure I would have found this had I looked. :)

• Brush: Omega Pro-48 28mm Boar - custom handle
• Razor: Geneva Cutlery - Vintage Straight Razor
• Blade: 9/16
• Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II
• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II Splash
• Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II

This was my first open blade shave in over a year. I’m honestly surprised I’m not bleeding right now. All in all it was an awkward shave, but the products worked exactly as they should have. My technique leaves a lot to be desired.

Lazy doesn’t appear to be loading the plugin, although it’s installed. Perhaps I’m doing something daft?

I’m making some progress on setting up my den.json

I blind purchased mine at SMS’s suggestion, and don’t regret it at all. I borrowed a Blackland Blackbird after AA 2023 and knew I had to have one. I’ve shaved with virtually nothing else since. The GC is different, and I’m glad I used it again.

• Brush: Maggard - 24mm Purple Swirl Synthetic
• Razor: Razorock Game Changer 84
• Blade: Gillette Nacet
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Almond Leather
• Post: House of Mammoth - Almond Leather Splash

I hadn’t shaved for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. The scruff under my chin was actually starting to irritate me to the point I was having a hard time falling asleep. So I put a fresh blade in the Game Changer and in two passes feel like a new man. This is my first shave using something other than my Stainless Blackland Blackbird in a hell of a long time. The GC really does punch well above it’s weight.

Wait… did someone say… Neovim… and SoTD in the same sentence!!!

• Brush: Maggard’s SHD
• Razor: Weck Sextoblade
• Blade: Kismet
• Lather: Blades Grim - Smolder
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Noir et Vanille

This is the third time I’ve done a two pass shave with the Weck, and have avoided bleeding. I’ll take that as a win.

Super happy to have the GC back. While Blades Grim as a company is questionable I still love the way this soap smells. It’s like toasted marshmallows, and it makes a good lather. This was an amazing shave. 10 of 10 would highly recommend.

• Prep: Splash of hot water
• Brush: Moar Boar!
• Razor: Weck Sextoblade
• Blade: Kismet
• Lather: ZM The Watchman (sample from J33p)
• Post Shave: Lucky Tiger Splash
• Post Shave: Proraso Sensitive Balm

In all this was a pretty good shave. I spent a bunch more soap, and time making lather than in previous shaves and ended up with a much thicker lather. I’m also getting better with the Weck, as this is the second time I’ve done both a North to South, and South to North shave with it, and remained nick free.

nice. My initial attempts to interact with the Lemmy instance with golang wasn’t super successful.

oh, you may have just revolutionized morning shaves for me…

• Prep: Splashing hot water
• Brush: SHD badger
• Razor: Stirling (DE3P2S) with the OpenComb plate
• Blade: Gillette Nacet
• Lather: Proraso Sensitive shaving cream (tube)
• Post Shave: Lucky Tiger

What can I say, this was a simple evening (00:10 am) shave. The Stirling has more blade feel than any other safety razor I own, but I wouldn’t call it extreme. It’s my travel razor, and since I’m going to be traveling next week I thought I’d take it for a spin and make sure I’m all good.

I aim to please…

I’ll take a stab at writing something simple tonight in golang and report my progress back.
