Excellent shave. I have at least 1 more shave left in this tub, and we'll find out tomorrow if there's maybe 2 left...

Good luck. Then again he probably knows something...

What'd you shave with today?

That's another side effect of acetaminophen.

Welp, yesterday and today (using the same razor) weren't the greatest. I blame the razor, the lather, and my technique :-)

Since I'm still in the FAFO stage of straight razor shaving, I'm not going to rub the razor on a stone until I've messed around a bit more with different soap bases, etc. I'm sure I'll have some more unsavory shaves before I give up, but that's how we learn.

What sort of sample activity are you doing? Part 2 of 3?

[–] walden@wetshav.ing 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I went to maga.place and it's so edgy! Some 13 year old is having a good laugh at their own jokes.

I know it's brand new, but as of right now it seems like a waste of time to even talk about it.

Could be a different story a week from now, but until then who cares.

That's what I did, just manually added some.
