    Very nice. This Damaskeene is particularly mild, and it’s a joy to use. Good efficiency despite not much blade feel.

    Used 4.9 grams of soap today, which is a lot. I don’t use badger knots often so wasn’t sure how much to load, but apparently I can dial it back a tad. Really nice lather, though.




    You might notice the thread title is slightly different today. It’s going to go back closer to normal tomorrow, so the day of the week will be the first word (makes it easier to find).

    There was finally an update that fixed our auto-post bot, so we’re back to hosting that ourselves at schedule.wetshaving.social. They added a “counter” option, so each post can have a sequential number. Based on this post I plugged the date into a calculator and today should be day #440. Tomorrow is 441, etc. If someone can check my work on that, I’d be very appreciative.

    The developer of the scheduled-post bot said he’s quite busy these days, so working on this side project has been moved to the back burner. Hopefully it doesn’t break with future versions of Lemmy. Just part of the problem with using two different projects, one very active and undisciplined, and one not as active and trying to keep up.
