    Fougère Friday

    • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm × 57 mm bleached boar)
    • Razor: Mühle R41 GT Berlin edition
    • Blade: Personna Platinum
    • Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. / House of Mammoth Armonía
    • Aftershave: Chicago Grooming Co. / House of Mammoth Armonía
    • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Heather

    Still getting to know Armonía and still loving it. The combo with Heather is promising; Armonía dominates initially and I’m looking forward to picking up more and more heather as the splash diffuses.

      I see the auto post didn’t work again, even with my last “fix”. I’ve implemented a new “fix”, where the whole VM will reboot once every 3 days. I don’t like it, but I think it’s the only way right now.

      When the auto-bot stops working, a reboot results in the missed posts going through – so they get stuck somewhere.

      At least Lemmy itself runs well!

      I also noticed that our backups stopped working a couple of weeks ago, and it turns out it’s because of… ME! I changed a parameter for the db which limited the max number of concurrent connections, so pg_dump couldn’t connect to the db. I raised it from 30 to 150, and I’ll keep an eye on it. I think the default was 100.

      2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    This Red Imp is very pointy at the toe. I’ve muted it a little, but am still aware of the toe when I use it. No issues today, though, and this little wedge gave me a great shave.

        Agree. Probably the last time I will use it until the fall, though, except for Christmas in June day during the Lather Games (assuming there is one).

    05.04.2024 - Return from the Grave…fruit

    • Prep: warm water
    • Razor: RazoRock Hawk V2
    • Blade: KAI Captain Pink
    • Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir SE 24 mm
    • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II
    • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II AS; Pacific Shaving Co. Caffeinated ASB
    • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Gravefruit II EdP

    Well, finally some time and energy for a luxurious wetshave again! In the last few days, I was sick with the rota virus. If you thought the puking scene from The Exorcist was something, you haven’t been in my bathroom on that damned Monday night! But I digress;

    One pass WTG head shave plus cleanups and a bit of beard contours. GF 2 is a great scent for the warmer season IMHO and it’s great to come back with a quality SW soap. I only yesterday felt good enough to knock down the longer stubble on my head with a trimmer, but nothing beats wetshaving for the slick bald look.

    These KAI blades are still no good for my skin. I should finally seek out the Protouch MG again, expensive as they are but the shaves were so much smoother.

        No worries, it was unfortunately spreading like a wildfire at my new workplace and I came in contact with infected residents very often. No wonder that it got to me someday 😅 but thanks for the friendly words 👍🏻
