I got the SV Cubebe splash in a software lot I bought earlier this year, and I really like the scent. How does the soap perform?

Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper - Soap

Another good one. This blade is holding on well enough as long as my lather is wet and my angle is right.

Easy two pass shave. This blade is holding up well despite being carried on a bike every day. The backward blade trick really does seem to work well.

I stumbled across this vintage Colgate shave stick ad and thought some here might also get a kick out of it.

[Mail Call] Some Recent Acquisitions (sub.wetshaving.social)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by snooting@sub.wetshaving.social to c/wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social

9 comments fedilink

I had some exciting stuff arrive this morning and over the weekend!

First up, a nice Stirling haul:

This is the 31mm Zenith boar brush, the same that was used for the subreddit's prior "Moar Boar" group buy. The handle feels great in hand, and the knot seems just as nice as my other Zenith boar. My only complaint is that the Zenith and Stirling logos are pretty far off-level with the base of the handle. Not the end of the world, but it's unfortunate.

Christmas Eve in a bath soap is a great scent. I'm looking forward to trying it and Frankincense & Myrrh in shave soap format.

Deep Blue Sea aftershave is a re-stock. I love it with a bit of menthol.

The bonus was a sample of Haverford bath soap. I've previously used the shave soap/splash/frag, so this sample is most welcome. It's such a winning scent, especially for this time of year.

Next, some new hardware:

From left to right:

1940's GEM Clog-Pruf Single Edge Razor
Chiseled Face Titanium Legacy Razor
RazoRock Game Changer with .68 and .76 plates and the "Bulldog" handle

The Clog-Pruf seems in quite good condition for its age and price (~$15 shipped). I'm still waiting on some GEM blades and want to clean it up just a bit before trying it out.

The CF TI Legacy razor is a real indulgence, but it's a belated birthday gift from my wife, and we got a good deal from a kind soul on Discord. I've shaved with this razor a few times since I got it this weekend and it's quickly vaulted to the top of my list. If I had to pick a desert island razor right now, this is very likely the one I would pick. Likely, I'm still deep in the honeymoon phase, but this is truly an outstanding razor.

I got a good deal on the Game Changer on the zaar before I ordered the CF Legacy. It's a great shaver, I like how low profile the head is (very easy to shave under the nose), and the stainless steel construction is most definitely a step up from my Rockwell 6C. This will probably take the 6C's place in my collection.

And finally, a Barrister and Mann score:

I've wanted to try this scent since I first read about it, so when I saw the set for a decent deal on the zaar I snatched it up.

Clean, mild, and strangely complex. I'm very much looking forward to getting to know this fragrance.

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

submitted 1 year ago by snooting@sub.wetshaving.social to c/wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social

9 comments fedilink

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.

[Question] Why is my bowl lather so lame? (sub.wetshaving.social)

submitted 1 year ago by snooting@sub.wetshaving.social to c/wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social

15 comments fedilink

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?
