AA24 - Day 5 - Monday in the Shire

Shire is such a beautiful scent! It was almost going to be an AA trickhole with Shire, and 🍀🐑Shepherd of Stirling🐑🍀changed all that. Luckily, I'm still able to use Shire for today.

Yeah, Shire was close to the top of my list for AA also. Had I not been able to find Guerlain Jicky EdT, it was between Shire and Opuntia (Opuntia followed by Aventus fits well for mid-Atlantic US in August).

Progress Album

A slightly rushed shave, but I went into it knowing I could go quickly. I find Stirling to be incredibly easy to lather. It's more fun to add water slowly, but you can also just throw a bunch of water at it right up front and call it good, which is what I did today.

You can't go wrong with Stirling. To me, it's just like what buying Craftsman tools at Sears was like back in the day.

What's behind the $Discord tag?

[-] sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social 4 points 1 month ago

The $Discord tag doesn't really serve a purpose here, but if you add the tag to your reddit post, a discord bot will automatically post your sotd comment to the sotd channel on discord.

Ahh. Thank you. I assume that's a fairly new bot. I expect I will see a lot of it from now on. Seems like a great time saver.

Yeah, what @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social said. I'm too lazy to remove it when pasting into Lemmy. Once AA is over I'll probably stop using that tag because I don't post on reddit very often outside of these "events".

Edge Condition Album


Another shave that was as close as one with a stropped razor. I'll be doing a microscope image of the edge on the 7th or 8th. I'm interested to see what the edge looks like. It feels exceptionally comfortable while shaving.
