    So, I finally made it to the Lemmy instance. I kinda wonder why I haven’t managed to do so sooner, as it’s much easier to me than Mastodon with its strict 500 character limit. With that out of the way: Hi everyone, this is Dave aka DaveWave94. You might still know me from Reddit under the silly moniker of u/Teufelskraft.

    Today’s shave was a quick 1-pass face shave before my late shift at the nursing home. I like the smell of CF GTB a lot and the soap base is, together with Stirling, Noble Otter and Moon’s Union a really fast to dial in good lather. Unfortunately, I really should change the Feather PG into something from KAI again. My face and Feather blades simply won’t get along. Quite a few weepers today. Well, tomorrow’s shave will surely be better!

      Weepers with one pass? Was it against the grain?

      Welcome to Lemmy. Let us know if you have any questions.

        No, just XTG. The skin on my face is very picky with blades - it seems like the guard on these Feathers doesn’t even exist for me. I also have the unfortunate habit of using too much pressure with light aluminum razors, especially when I’m in a hurry 🤔

        Thank you very much! This sub/instance already feels very familiar to what I’m used to.

        Thanks DJ. It took me a while, but now I’ll happily contribute to the growth of the community around here! 👍🏻
