It’s been kind of a wild year.

Excellent, the plugin now fires as expected. I’ll give it a shot for tomorrow’s SOTD post. Thanks!

I didn’t think about going and looking for your dotfiles, I’m sure I would have found this had I looked. :)

• Brush: Omega Pro-48 28mm Boar - custom handle
• Razor: Geneva Cutlery - Vintage Straight Razor
• Blade: 9/16
• Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II
• Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II Splash
• Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II

This was my first open blade shave in over a year. I’m honestly surprised I’m not bleeding right now. All in all it was an awkward shave, but the products worked exactly as they should have. My technique leaves a lot to be desired.

Lazy doesn’t appear to be loading the plugin, although it’s installed. Perhaps I’m doing something daft?

I’m making some progress on setting up my den.json

I blind purchased mine at SMS’s suggestion, and don’t regret it at all. I borrowed a Blackland Blackbird after AA 2023 and knew I had to have one. I’ve shaved with virtually nothing else since. The GC is different, and I’m glad I used it again.

• Razor: Razorock Game Changer 84
• Blade: Gillette Nacet
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Almond Leather
• Post: House of Mammoth - Almond Leather Splash

I hadn’t shaved for maybe 2 or 3 weeks. The scruff under my chin was actually starting to irritate me to the point I was having a hard time falling asleep. So I put a fresh blade in the Game Changer and in two passes feel like a new man. This is my first shave using something other than my Stainless Blackland Blackbird in a hell of a long time. The GC really does punch well above it’s weight.

Wait… did someone say… Neovim… and SoTD in the same sentence!!!

• Brush: Maggard’s SHD
• Razor: Weck Sextoblade
• Blade: Kismet
• Lather: Blades Grim - Smolder
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - The Noir et Vanille

This is the third time I’ve done a two pass shave with the Weck, and have avoided bleeding. I’ll take that as a win.
