I tried getting rid of this soap at the meetup yesterday, but understandably the wetshaving pros in attendance weren't very interested in it. Since I'm stuck with it, I figured I should probably use it!

September 20th, 2025: Meetup day

  • Razor: Gold Dollar Straight Razor (10)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave

Today is the Northeast (USA) Wetshavers Meetup, which will be a very small gathering in Albany, NY.

This razor is not at its prime based on how the first pass felt. It was dull and not very efficient. As the shave went on I added more water to the lather (maybe softening up those whiskers just enough?) and things stared to improve. In the end, I got a great shave worthy of being gazed upon by discerning eyes (like anybody actually cares...)

I am. It'll be a small but good crowd. Only 5 or 6 of us.

Not flying out for the Northeast Wetshaving Meetup? 🤣

Ah, maybe the max was 20GB for zip. I'd just do the max available for zip.

In the context of leopardsatemyface the mayor's political leanings are quite relevant. It could even be said this whole post isn't relevant to the community.

But yeah, keep on with your singular attitude.

Do it again, but select 50GB chunks. This will produce fewer files.

Use immich-go to do the importing.

I like using Alexandrite when browsing Lemmy, but the UI for PieFed seems slightly more polished than Lemmy (especially with the different themes built in).

I'm not sure I'd use Alexandrite to browse PieFed, but I'm certainly not against support being added!
