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?

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay Shire 26mm V18 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Blackland Razors Vector
  • Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional (3)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Shire 2 - Soap
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Shire 2 - Splash
  • Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

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.

  • Prep: warm water
  • Razor: RazoRock Hawk V2
  • Blade: KAI Captain Pink
  • Brush: AP Shave Co. Elegant Emerald 22 mm Faux Horse
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Unscented
  • Post Shave: Thayer's Aloe Vera toner; Pacific Shaving Co. Caffeinated ASB

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.
