Something like this might work (caveat that I haven’t tried it)

https://csvjson.com/

You’d lose the blade count tracking though unless you tossed the json back into csv format after each shave.

I wonder how difficult it would be to support csv as a format. Would that meet your needs, or would .xlsx be necessary?

An easy two pass shave tonight. Haverford just felt right for a chilly, dark, autumn evening.

I'm running low on the Haverford EdT and AS samples. I might need to get another Stirling order in the mail...

Well that's not what you want! 😄

I haven't, but the description sounds right up my alley. I love a good tobacco scent.

Razorock - Puros - Aftershave

Oro Valley + Puros sounds like a winning combination.

It's definitely a pretty one!

Easy luxury (™️) shave this morning. The Bolzano blade is still performing well, and Sandpiper is a lovely scent for a sunny day. No notes.

Damn, that's a beautiful handle!

This is my first time hearing about the Stando Perun, looks like a nice razor! How does it shave?

Chesire++;

Of course, the head should pivot, and it should accept 5 blades

Tuesday, November 12, 2024: SLS - First Fanchurian Impressions

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay - v24 Fanchurian 26mm badger
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C
  • Blade: Bolazano - Superinox (4)
  • Lather: Stirling - Arkadia
  • Post: Stirling - Arkadia Aftershave splash
  • Post: Stirling - Glacial Unscented Aftershave balm
  • Frag: Stirling - Arkadia EdT

Today was my first shave with this v24 knot that u/BossHoggins10 graciously loaned me. I've wanted to try a "nicer" badger knot for a while now, so I'm definitely grateful to have the opportunity.

This thing whipped up a mean lather quickly, and the handle felt fantastic in hand. It's a super dense knot that's very soft on the face.

Comparing it with the Yaqi 2-band badger that I already own, it's definitely higher quality. I'm not yet sure if it's worth the price difference, but it's for sure a step up.

Arkadia gave an excellent lather, as always.

Thanks for the call out, I'll keep my eyes open for one of these if they ever pop up (or if I ever have a handle that needs filling).

The Yaqi and Simpson synths that I own both feel soft to the touch, but they cause me more burn than my badger or boar brushes. I wonder if my technique could be part of the issue. I'm trying to stick to just paintbrush-like strokes with those brushes, but still feel some burn regardless.

Show and Tell: Neovim SOTD Plugin (sub.wetshaving.social)

I had the day off today, so I hacked together a port of the SOTD emacs plugin that @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social uses.

It's still a pretty rough implementation, but I wanted to share the repository here in case others who use Neovim might want to help me kick the tires. I'm fully aware that this is a niche within a niche, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take!

I know there's some cleanup that needs to happen, and the config file format could use a bit more thought, but it works well enough for now. If anyone feels compelled to use it I'd welcome any feedback either here or on the repo itself.

The code is hosted on GitHub here.

I usually face lather and get consistently good results at this point.

However, when I get a .5 oz. or less sample I'll smush the soap down into a thin, even layer using one of those collapsible slow-feed pet bowls. Every time I get a foamy bullshit lather.

I'm unsure how to get an equally wet and slick lather with the bowl. Do I just need to keep adding water? Move to the face sooner? Give up and grow a beard?
