Hotel shave. Surprisingly close shave without much effort.
Pending any additional bugs, sotd comments posted here will automatically get crossposted to Zulip chat. If you want to opt out just let me know and I’ll filter your username.
We plan on traveling to Europe on Monday or Tuesday, and our goal is to make it to Brussels. We’re going to travel standby (a perk of my job) so crossing our fingers for some seats together with our kid. We haven’t gone overseas since 2019, so I’m looking forward to it!
Wow, an unmentionable!

Early morning shave with a great soap & razor.
Welcome back, even if just for a moment.
We're all dying to hear the results of your synthetic/jnat test.
Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio.
A dupe of Killian Dark Lord, it's a great scent in a great new soap base made by u/TheStallionPartThree.
October 2nd, 2025: We have the technology!

I thought my face was healed from yesterday's rough shave, but I felt myself having to take it easy today even with a better razor. Still, a much better shave than yesterday. Just ignore that little thing on my cheek.
I've been working on something for the new chat ( https://chat.wetshav.ing/ ) which will soon automatically grab the latest top-level comment in a SOTD post on Lemmy and post it in the SOTD thread on the Zulip chat. Some of you may be familiar with the $discord tag to go from Reddit --> Discord, but since we have fewer users here and on Zulip, plus the fact that Zulip is open source and hosted by me on our server, I figured people wouldn't mind.
Of course, if you do mind, and don't want your SOTDs cross-posted automatically, please let me know and I'll come up with a way to exclude your username.
Just to clarify, this feature is not yet fully automated, but will be soon assuming I can finish up the final touches.
In other Zulip news, I think together with @snooting@wetshav.ing and @bosshoggins10@sub.wetshaving.social we've sort of worked out the quirks of Zulip and made it as simple as possible, with decent default settings for new users, and as similar to Discord as possible to make it feel "at home" if we ever need to switch over.
Great leather scent!
Congrats @pi_dash_rho@sub.wetshaving.social! Send me your details and I'll ship this out.
After seeing pictures of it and voting for it on multiple occasions on the contests held here, I got to see a Eurasian eagle-owl in person today. I was a little far away so the picture isn't that great, but I was very impressed.
I also got to see a Barn Owl, and it was beautiful!
Thanks! We plan on leaving on Monday. We've been to Belgium once before and I remember really enjoying it.
