Very nice shave, one of my first straight shaves where I don't feel like I need touch ups with a safety razor on my neck and chin.

They don't allow for private repos, so it's a non-starter for companies unless they want to self-host.

I think my wife and I are going to a shoreline cleanup day this Saturday, but otherwise having a chill weekend at home.

I hope to make more progress in Hollow Knight: Silksong over the weekend. It's a great game, but I can't play for very long in a single sitting.

Sample kill. I enjoyed this scent, but doubt that I'd want a full tub. I just don't find myself in the mood for rose very often.

I'm bummed to hear about Spearhead closing up shop, but it motivated me to finally get off my ass and pick up some of their stuff that I've wanted for a while.

Almost to the weekend y'all, have a great day!

My first time trying the G-Bar that u/jwoods23 threw in for free when I purchased a brush from him.

It's a nice, mild shaver. Similar to the Flying Wing, but it seemed a bit more efficient.

2.5 passes plus some clean up on my neck with a DE razor. I'm enjoying this smaller razor quite a bit, and the edge is feeling pretty comfortable.

I'm going to hold off on stropping until I notice a decline in performance. @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social and u/josiguuh piqued my interest with their lack of stropping over AA. I wonder if/when I'll be able to notice a difference.

Hello and welcome! 👋

You can see in previous threads that most folks typically will share something like:

• Brush
• Razor:
• Blade:
• Lather:
• Post Shave:
• Fragrance:

But there are no rules here about how you share your SOTD. Share whatever you’d like!

Casting my vote to do an installment of BVWSC in October.

I'm not sure how widespread the month of Tabac will be, though I suspect at least @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social and @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social will partake.
