At this point I just live with it. Slowly trying to get better at it, but the last time I actually got it done well I ended up with a few ingrown hairs. So for now I'm just leaving it not quite as smooth.
Post Shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Seaforth! Sea Ice Lime Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry
I postponed shaving a couple of days because my new Henson arrived today. I've been using the mild (+) version for about 5 months or so (around 50 shaves), so I decided to buy the aggressive (+++) model to try out. Have to say, my initial impressions are that I enjoy it more than the mild version. I used SIL because I know it is a great lather and would make it easy to judge the shave based off of the razor. I still have some problem areas on my jawline, but that's always been the case. This was one of the smoothest shaves on my neck I've had, so that alone is a big point in favor for the aggressive. Time will tell, obviously, but as it stands right now the mild will probably be going to the bazaar.
Edit for Lemmy: would've posted this from kbin, but for some reason the federation isn't quite synced right. Oh well.
I recently stopped using alum and I think my skin is better for it. I do witch hazel and aloe (currently using Stirling's mentholed version), then aftershave (either splash or balm), followed by Neutrogena hydro boost gel cream extra dry. The Neutrogena is phenomenal after a shave.
I know it's a little redundant to use the witch hazel then the aftershave since most have those ingredients, but I like using it.
This is what I tend to do, but mostly because I don't like the thought of getting my tubs all messy. I know it's a stupid reason, but it's my stupid reason.
I will just load my Stirling samples in the dollar tree tins, though. Really great for travel too.
My biggest peeve with be app is that clicking on a comment reply doesn't take you to the comment. I think just using the mobile website is currently better.
I really wanted to like Shire 2, but it is just too tobacco-y for me. I grabbed a sample of both the EdP and the soap and only used them once. C'est la vie.
Post shave: Stirling Mentholated Unscented Witch Hazel and Aloe, Stirling Glacial Satsuma Aftershave Splash, Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry
First lemmy shave! Woot! The shave was really nice. Glacial Satsuma is a fantastic soap. Just a fantastic warm citrus smell and the great Stirling quality. The perma-sharps do a fantastic job in the Henson. I think I'm going to buy an aggressive AL13 during the next Maggard sale to see the difference.
Did this instance defederate from kbin? Only ask because it doesn't seem to have synced in a few days. See here: https://kbin.social/m/wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social
Could very well just be a kbin issue, but just wanted to ask.

He hasn't been fired because Mo doesn't want to fire this many managers in such a short time. Pure ego.
Is this also in your email signature?
Same.

There's another app on f-droid, but it hasn't been updated in 9 months. It's called Lemur.
Wait... Where are the crabs‽

I was never a big fan of Twitter's layout, but it is cool to this crossover.

Gotcha, thanks!
How does Mastodon interact with lemmy? Still a little confused on that front.
Same. I keep opening Sync by accident. Hopefully this place (lemmy in general) gets more popular, this generating more content.

It's very cool. I'm very curious to see if it all takes off.
