  • How do you like your sotd.nvim experience so far?

  • OTOH, my son lives in France. Maybe it's time to move :)

    We'll have presidential elections in 2027, and the question is who will face Le Pen.

    Il est urgent d'attendre

  • Wednesday, November 6, 2024: Et in Arcadia ego

    • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
    • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse 🐎
    • Razor: MΓΌhle R41 (3-piece)
    • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (21)
    • Lather: Stirling Arcadia
    • Postshave: Naissance 702 Witch Hazel
    • Postshave: Terre d'HermΓ¨s After Shave Lotion
    • Postshave: Nivea After Shave Balm

    Second shave with a DE in a row – this time with better results. I could have made more effort in the chin area, but overall, satisfying closeness.

    I checked yesterday, and Arcadia is a soap that I have had since 2022, and on which I haven't made much progress (just like with Spiced). Only Le Grand Chypre has been longer in my den, but I expect to kill LGC next year. Arcadia and Spiced, on the other hand, I'm afraid that I will have to mention in my testament...

    <rant>

    Finally, cursed be the person who designed the Terre d'HermΓ¨s after shave bottle 🌩️🌩️🌩️. How difficult can it be? Literally everyone else gets it right – but Terre d'HermΓ¨s manages to have such a ridiculously short neck that it's impossible to dose correctly.

    Have a good evening!

  • I generally like Rogue Perfumery (at least the 4 scents I have tried) – and somehow, I prefer Bon Monsieur over Mousse IlluminΓ©e – it's a more approachable, more everyday type of scent.

  • I'll launch it in a few days, so that we can have a new and better procedure for next time.

  • Yeah, these are valid complaints.

    Next time, I will announce before how much time ther is or voting, maybe something like 48 h?

    Also, I'll check how different ways of counting votes interact with partial votes.

    I will put up a thread for discussion soon.

  • Fat bottom techs they'll be riding today

    So watch out for those beauties oh yeah

  • Tuesday, November 5, 2024: Zingari Zischtig


    Bon Monsieur is glorious, and very different from the late Autumn Ash. This was the first shave with the Karve since a very long time – comfortable, but not as close as with a straight. Also a rather old blade. Maybe I should explore a bit more my DEs.

    Have a good night!

  • πŸ‘

    Next time, I should probably announce the deadline

  • Sorry - I didn't even check 😩

    Ifyou want to go ahead and vote, please do so, and I will adjust the results, if necessary

  • You should be able to go to his profile page, and there should be a ΓΈatrix link.

  • We have a winner: You and I (Must Die) by House of Mammoth! Halloween and All Saints Day may have helped prepare the terrain for this one...

    Anyways: Congratulations to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social, who is on a run with his second consecutive win – will he be able to secure the hat-trick?

    @snooting@sub.wetshaving.social – could you reach out to Walden and give him your address?

  • Ray the witches have merci on me πŸ™

  • It's ranked choice: you give your order of preferences, and I will convert it to numberss You don't have to rank everything. Your first choice gives the soap 10 points, your second nine, etc.
