Today is always a special shave where u/onionmiasma and u/ktturtlesue bring us together to bring something special out of what must be a hard day for them both.
It's amazing to see how the day has grown and how vendor sub members like u/rocketk455 have joined in with a scent that is fresh and bright on a cold autumnal eve. (Full disclosure I shave in the evening so this was done the night before the 12th but late enough that it was the 12th somewhere).
Anyway. To make the shave special I decided that today was a day to have with friends and id like to think onion and turtle are friends. Not good enough friends to fly me out to the US to be with them and have a shave trip like u/priusaurus though. Maybe they see me more as an acquaintance. Or just someone who has a load of soap stored at their house. Or maybe just a Cadbury s mule. Maybe the fact that I'm not an artisan like rocket and Prius makes me just a nobody.
But I am somebody. u/iamsms
No wait that's not me. Though I am Indian and he's an indianlathergod so I see your confusion.
I am a shit poster. And I AM AN ARTISAN. I have designed, prototyped and built a razor. (Please be my friend u/onionmiasma)
I am somebody and I can shave with my friends.
So last night (late enough for it to be the 12th for Asia based sub members) I shaved with
u/ktturtlesue or at least a toy turtle that came with a Moana doll that eventually lost one arm and got called onearma for the rest of the time we had it.
u/onionmiasma or at least an onion with a treet blade stuck in it. It sucked and mainly cut me on the first pass so I threw it away. Sorry onion
u/djundjila, u/j33pguy13 and u/merikus. No I didn't use GUTL but those guys made MOAR so they're good by me and where there as a result
u/raymoonie and u/thestallionpartthree. Good pod boys hope the curse doesn't get you
u/hairykopite - via the 1914 (Best vintage gem) he sent me which fixed the second and third passes
And that's what this is all about. You're not alone. (Especially if you start making black sea glass brushes) we're here for each other through thick and thin. In shit posts and seriousness.
Also, I DECLARE wildcard wednesday. You're all scrubs.
Except for whoever knows how to get the photos off discord to stick into the comments.
Do a week with potential confirmation bias, then a week random as you suggested and then a week with the mark covered so you don't know which is which (but know which you used)... That should avoid confirmation bias, and let you know which you actually prefer

In addition to what @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social said. People often ruminate on a range of things. This month @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social will be talking through and a/b straight razor test for example.
I'll mainly be forgetting to post.
Body shop maca and aloe Vera cream.
Pretty bang average and only sticking it here as it's the tub I'm trying to kill. Not sure how I'd even post it out successfully

Will this cream tub ever end? Must be near the 30s for shaves on this razor/blade combo as a result

Not in as I'm over the pond

Sample 3 on the rack. After this it's a tub kill run, probably the body shop cream as it'l can be killed most quickly I think
You praise mud one time and get dropped like a stone...
I figured you knew but assumed the others may not have done!
Mud according. I'll shout it from the roof tops
That's the one.

June 6th, 2025: Not a LG shave
If I were LGing then I could've used le marche rasage but I'm not and it burns so not burning myself is $selfcare @pridetwo@sub.wetshaving.social
May 31st, 2025: sample 2: wickham
That's ok. It's not worth it to encourage me to play when ive never really played the games anyways
May 27th, 2025: sample killed
First sample kills dead
@djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social does the portal pick up lemmy posts too?
