Did this instance defederate from kbin? Only ask because it doesn't seem to have synced in a few days. See here: https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

Could very well just be a kbin issue, but just wanted to ask.

At this point I just live with it. Slowly trying to get better at it, but the last time I actually got it done well I ended up with a few ingrown hairs. So for now I'm just leaving it not quite as smooth.

2023.06.17 SOTN:

  • Prep: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

  • Brush: AKA Brushworks Amethyst Watchman with 26mm AP Shave Co G5C

  • Razor: Henson AL13(+++)

  • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (3)

  • Lather: Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime

  • Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry


I postponed shaving a couple of days because my new Henson arrived today. I've been using the mild (+) version for about 5 months or so (around 50 shaves), so I decided to buy the aggressive (+++) model to try out. Have to say, my initial impressions are that I enjoy it more than the mild version. I used SIL because I know it is a great lather and would make it easy to judge the shave based off of the razor. I still have some problem areas on my jawline, but that's always been the case. This was one of the smoothest shaves on my neck I've had, so that alone is a big point in favor for the aggressive. Time will tell, obviously, but as it stands right now the mild will probably be going to the bazaar.

Edit for Lemmy: would've posted this from kbin, but for some reason the federation isn't quite synced right. Oh well.

I recently stopped using alum and I think my skin is better for it. I do witch hazel and aloe (currently using Stirling's mentholed version), then aftershave (either splash or balm), followed by Neutrogena hydro boost gel cream extra dry. The Neutrogena is phenomenal after a shave.

I know it's a little redundant to use the witch hazel then the aftershave since most have those ingredients, but I like using it.

He hasn't been fired because Mo doesn't want to fire this many managers in such a short time. Pure ego.

Is this also in your email signature?

This is what I tend to do, but mostly because I don't like the thought of getting my tubs all messy. I know it's a stupid reason, but it's my stupid reason.

I will just load my Stirling samples in the dollar tree tins, though. Really great for travel too.

There's another app on f-droid, but it hasn't been updated in 9 months. It's called Lemur.

I was never a big fan of Twitter's layout, but it is cool to this crossover.

My biggest peeve with be app is that clicking on a comment reply doesn't take you to the comment. I think just using the mobile website is currently better.
