Had an interview today that went well. Hopefully some news here shortly.
🤞🤞
I had the same experience with those silicone dog bowls. Works great if I've already loaded a full brush, but very much sucks to use for samples/smushes.

Pretty good shave overall. Two passes plus some clean up on my neck and chin with a DE.
This scent is a nice rose with a hint of sweetness behind it. The base performed great as well, though I do think his final formulation makes a better lather.

This trifecta of Susurro was my LG2025 prize, and I'm very happy with it. Beautiful scent, great performance, and a great shave. What a great way to start my day.
Almost to the weekend!

- Brush: Summer Break Soaps "Elyria" - TurnNShave v9 Tip 28mm Badger
- Razor: J. Koester's Sons 11/16", full hollow, square point (1)

This was my first shave with this straight, which I found in Nesika Beach, Oregon at an estate sale for $5 while on my recent bike tour. I just got it back in hand today after sending if off to @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social for honing.
The only other straight razor that I've used is the Moarteen, and this thing is significantly smaller and more nimble. It gave me great results from a three-pass shave, with only one small slice on my jawline from not minding the toe.
Overall I'm happy with the edge and looking forward to spending more time with this razor.
Caravaggio++
Oh, this is an interesting interpretation that I could get behind!
Thanks for the fedi-PIF, I’m in!
Something to be proud of for sure. Congratulations!
A piece of unsolicited advice: it's worth making an effort to stay in touch with the classmates that you will miss. It's too easy to let those relationships slip by as time goes on, and at a certain point it's harder to reconnect in my experience.

OCBP and Reserve Spice pair nicely together, and Destination Unknown is a great scent to top it off. Close, comfortable three-pass shave.

I'm definitely excited for Caravaggio, though I've never sniffed Dark Lord.
Hello from piefed.
One cool thing to note is that Voyager, the iOS app that I use for Lemmy, also lets me log into this piefed server. Neat!
