I think the previous base was called 'Canard'.

Meh, I have a crap ton of smart home stuff and zero of it relies on the cloud. I think I only have one switch that even has the ability to "phone home" and I've blocked its access to the internet. It's like anything else, you just have to be smart about what you buy, and the good stuff has a higher learning curve.

July 15th, 2025: Moose

  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Micromatic Flying Wing
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (3)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Soap
  • Post Shave: Old Spice - Original - Aftershave

My first shave with I, Rich Moose was interesting. We have well water at our house, and it's currently being treated with bleach. I've been showering at the local Rec Center yesterday and today, and figured it'd be a good idea to shave there as well.

I got my travel brush, a travel razor/blade, and Moose out of my backpack, slung a towel over my shoulder, and headed to the sinks. It's the type of sink setup that you might see at an airport. A single "trough", but a modern style with automatic spouts, automatic soap dispensers, and automatic hand dryers at each station. I hate this setup even for washing hands, but I was on a mission. There was just enough shelf space to hold things.

Lathering was effortless, and the fragrance of Moose was a delight. A half naked man walked behind me on the way to the shower, but paid me no mind. Pass number two started to get interesting. People started showing up to use the toilets and urinals (located behind me) and washing their hands at adjacent sink stations. While I appreciate good hygene, it was taking away from the relaxing vibe that I've come to expect while shaving.

I caught a glimpse in the mirror of what would ultimately bring my shave to a rather abrupt end. A large, bald, shirtless, 60ish year old man entered one of the stalls directly behind me. I don't know what he had for lunch, but the sounds eminating from his stall make me think he should probably avoid it in the future. I pressed on, only having half of the second pass, and a 3rd pass to go.

With the 4 or 5 bathroom patrons slowly dissipating, I felt like a 3rd pass was easily in the cards. Then it hit me -- the fresh, spicy, musky scent of I, Rich Moose started to blend with other smells that can hardly be described as "pleasant". I quickly finished my second pass, rinsed most of the soap out of my brush, and retreated to the adjacent room as quickly as possible.

Even with only two passes, I got a very decent shave! I would definitely shave at the Rec Center again, but maybe I'll wait for late evening when it's not as busy and people have mostly finished their daily movements.

Wonderful movie.

I have fond memories of working at Hollywood Video and helping people find it. They'd be looking under "S", but it was under "T", for This is Spinal Tap.

Man, I used to LOVE defragmenting drives. I felt like I was actually doing something productive, and I just got to sit back and watch the magic happen.

Now I know better.

Just so long as she doesn't put it in her will. We want new generations buying new eBikes... no hand me downs.

Oh wow. They got me.

Thanks for the reminder!

Wrong thread, by the way!

Oh I agree. If it goes Super Hard then all this AI nonsense has been worth it, TBH.

July 14th, 2025: Flying Wing

  • Brush: Ever-Ready - 400 w/Motherload 30mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Micromatic Flying Wing
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2)
  • Lather: London Razors, Summer Break Soaps - Mountain Laurel - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream

Much better than yesterday, probably on account of the lather.

We plan on shocking our well with bleach today because it failed a water test. "Not potable" they say... sheesh! I'm not sure if I'll get to shave tomorrow, unless I go to the Rec Center and use their facilities.

That brings up a question... Yesterday was my 5 year wetshaving anniversary, and I think I've shaved every single day since then. Part of me thinks I skipped a day within the past year, but I can't remember. So if I skip tomorrow, that'll either be the first or second time skipping a shave in the past 5 years.

Perhaps I'm stealing @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social's thunder with this post, but I had to remind myself to pack Raconteur for a work trip.

Another reminder, there will be no Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club event in June on account of the Lather Games.

Micromatic's are great for travel. (sub.wetshaving.social)

I tried inserting a blade backwards into my Flying Wing, and it fits great! The tabs just need to be lined up manually.

This way I can just put it in my bag and not have to think about the blade -- especially useful for the trip home after the blade has been unwrapped.

This can only be accomplished with the cardboard wrapper removed, so it's yet to be seen if there's any metal-on-metal contact with the edge enough to alter the shave. I'll find out tomorrow!

 

This instance has been in business for over 2 years, and the administration has decided to cash in and sell all user data to the highest bidder.

Myself (@walden@sub.wetshaving.social), @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social , and @merikus@sub.wetshaving.social (our founding father and visionary) all thank you for providing us with your data over the years. By the time we split the proceeds 3 ways, we envision starting a rocket company, and electric car company, and running for President of the Fediverse.

There are other active wetshaving communities in the fediverse, so we urge you to take your pick.

So long!

 

I got a new razor in the mail today, the RazoRock GOAT. GOAT is meant to stand for "Greatest Of All Time", and it's a copy of the Merkur 34 series. The ad copy says it's a copy of the "German 34" which is an old design with an expired patent. I was wondering how closely it would match the 34C, and it's almost exact!

There are differences, of course. It's a 3-piece razor, so you can use whichever handle you like (as long as it has standard M5 threads). The razor is wider in order to cover the blade tabs (which it does completely). The 34C has a small amount of blade tab exposed.

I did a 1 pass shave with the GOAT just to see how it felt, and my initial impression is that it's very very close to the 34C. I love mild yet efficient razors like the 34C, so I'm excited to have a durable, stainless steel version.

I know I didn't get it from all angles, but it's pretty much an exact copy where it counts.

The picture below might make it look like they're slightly different size, but since the 34C is a 2 piece I had to leave the handle on, so any difference is due to the slight height difference. The width of the baseplates is the same.

The GOAT is a 3 piece razor, so the baseplate is not attached to the handle. The included (optional) handle is longer, but not too long. I like both handles just fine.

 

I'm using a run of the mill motion sensor in the living room that turns the lights off after a certain duration of no motion (unless the TV is on). Sometimes the lights turn off when I'm still in the room because I'm stationary.

I know people seem to like the mmWave sensors for this and I'm considering getting a Screek 2A from eBay.

I'm curious if anyone here has used one. Thanks!

 

One of our interior doors is warped, so you needed to apply pressure for the last 1/4 inch (6mm) for it to latch.

I figured I could rip out the little trim stopper pieces and reattach them in a better spot.

So I got a pneumatic brad nailer from Harbor Freight (I splurged on the $50 one) and got to work.

It worked! Now the door closes as it should.
