For me, the number is for the shave being posted.

June 14, 2023 - UnAlive

• Brush: Yaqi Dandelion Green 24mm Cashmere
• Razor: Karve CB C Solid Bar
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (9)
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive Splash

Today is my first kill of a tub of soap. This was my Austere August soap last year, and I would guess I got 50+ shaves from it. Maybe even 60 shaves. So, it’s 1 out and 3 in? Probably not, but there is a Mammoth hole in my den that is begging for Dammusi. It is not to be. I have to watch my expenses until my wife is better, and we get a bit of savings again. I do still have a full other tub of Alive. Not enough was left today for the Moar Boar, but just enough to get a decent quantity with this soft synthetic. Decent shave, but the blade is on the downslope now. No going for a bbs with this blade in a razor, but still capable of moreshaves.

Now that Alive is dead, I can rotate other Mammoth scents in each week.

June 13, 2023 - Tabac Tuesday

• Brush: Yaqi Cola 22mm Synthetic
• Razor: Karve CB C Solid Bar
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (8)
• Lather: Mäurer and Wirtz - Tabac Original
• Post Shave: Mäurer and Wirtz - Tabac Aftershave Lotion
• Fragrance: Mäurer and Wirtz- Tabac EdP

It is an after dinner shave today. As usual, brought out Tabac for this Tuesday shave.

Thats what I did. Water as hot as it comes out of the tap, and a splash of Dawn. Still learning it. My Flare tips took about 6 90 second trips through the bath, and soft toothbrush to remove the stubborn bits of crud in the knurling.

I still haven’t tried my Wilkinson Sword Seven Day Hollow Self Stropping Razor (I need to look up the real name). Don’t know if any of the seven blades are shave ready, but the set doesn’t look used. I do think when set up, it doesn’t look as sketchy as a Rolls. The strop is still wrapped up in waxed paper. I did decide to try a Valet for my new razor next month.

Where in Colorado are you going? I miss living out there. I hope I can afford to retire somewhere on the Front Range.

June 12, 2023 - Mammoth - Monday

• Brush: Zenith 31mm Moar Boar
• Razor: Karve CB C Solid Bar
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (7)
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Alive
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Alive

The kill of Alive is almost there. Just a small bit left, and not enough to load the big pig. Later this week, I’ll finish it off with a synthetic. Probably not enough soap left to load any of badger brushes. Decent shave, but could have done better on my right cheek. Not buffing or touching up for a while, so needed a bit better on the atg pass than I got. Oh well, gotta go finish making dinner. Made the pork shoulder roast I had intended to make yesterday. It was at 131F when I came up to shave, target is 185F to have it sliced vs. pulled. It’s been raining today, so I didn’t put it on the smoker. I don’t like cooking in the rain.

I can’t get the bullets to show, but I typed same format as I would on Reddit to get them.

• Test

• Test 2

• Test 3

Ok, very strange. If I type a single asterisk then click the bold icon it works. If I type asterisk space double asterisk it fails and takes away previous bullets, but bolds anything between double asterisks.

• Test 4
• Test 5

Ok maybe I figured it out. I double enter each line on Reddit, but if I do that here, the bullets break, but the bold stays.

Is the double asterisk still bold? I manually type my SOTDs, but the (* ** text **) format doesn’t give me the bullets, but does bold the section.

June 11, 2023 - Summer Break Sunday

• Brush: Yaqi Chianti 24mm Synthetic
• Razor: Karve CB C Solid Plate
• Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Super Stainless Green (6)
• Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Prom King
• Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Prom King

Testing out my first post here. I chose the username I’d have chosen on Reddit if I had known I could change it in the first 30 days. When I first got online back in the days of Dialup, I played a lot of MUDs (text based Multiple User Domains or sometime Dungeons). I usually used Nevyn as my name (from a Katherine Kerr fantasy series with a Celtic/Welsh flair).

I already posted my SOTD at r/Wetshaving. I didn’t realize it would go dark around midnight European time. I figured since the SOTD threads show up in the early morning that they were autoposting around midnight Pacific Time. I was in the middle of replying to a question when I got the message it went private.

Hmm, my bold format shows in the preview (love that), but the bullets didn’t. Now I see bullet icon below the post. Next time I’ll get the format better. Tried selecting and clicking the icon, but not working.

U/Environmental_Gap380

Edit: figured out the formatting I think. No double spacing in a bullet list.
