Seems like an appropriate moment to quote @merikus@sub.wetshaving.social :
Because using only one razor would be boring, I guess :P ?
😄 True. Still, a damn good safety razor.
Twenty-third Day of Getting a Grip on TabOKtoberfest
- Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal
- Razor: Henkotsu Kamisori
- Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
I’d describe using this kamisori definitely not yet as autopilot, but “routine” feels right. #Progress
Stank ++;
Edit: our Lemmy seems super responsive since the migration. Thanks, @walden@sub.wetshaving.social, for pushing for self hosting! (and for doing the work, of course!)

Yes. Much better. The slow responsiveness was getting annoying. Thank you @walden@sub.wetshaving.social!
@djundjila was equally to blame for the successful (so far) move. I learned a lot from him about shoring up the security of some stuff, which I plan on implementing with other services that I host for myself and have exposed to the web.
Glad I could help! And it was fun!
I’m sure it helps that it’s geographically closer to our users in Europe! We could move it even closer very easily. They have a “snapshot” function which allows transfer of the entire disk to another server.
I’ll look for datacentres in the centre of Lausanne 👍
If none of our users have a ping of less than 2ms, what’s the point?

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very nice shave. I’m enjoying comparing the Vector to the WR4. Back to the WR4 tomorrow. My sense of this is that the WR4 feels a bit more natural to me and provides a slightly closer shave. We’ll see.

Since Friday I’ve been dealing with a very annoying cold. It’s mostly centered on my nose, as well as occasional dry cough and a general feeling of weakness.
Figured since my sense of smell is impaired, I could as well use unscented soap. On the weekend I trimmed my longer stubble into a circle beard, so I just did one pass around that. I still managed to get some weepers due to careless shaving and not having the greatest motor skills while I’m sick.
At least now I look less like a bum next to my classmates in nursing school. Since I have no fever, I still attend class. Can’t afford to miss too much.
