Boar brush: lovely. Oro Valley: lovely. Friday: extra lovely.
Have a great day y’all, we made it to the weekend.
How do you like your sotd.nvim experience so far?
It’s a massive improvement from manually typing out my SOTD posts. I also love that I don’t have to put as much thought into how many uses I have on a blade, it’s just in my config file.
I plan to make some changes in the near future, but overall it’s been great!
The only issue I have is that when I have no emacs available, I am tempted not to post
Easy fix, have emacs available everywhere. :)

I’ve never used talc after a shave. I’m curious: when do you tend to use it, and what does it do for you exactly?
I use it when I have a little extra time and want to enjoy the extra finish that talc gives. Talc dries moisture but its effect is to leave a silky smooth feeling on the skin. This is especially nice if you have used an aftershave that leaves the skin shiny and a sticky.

It’s Magic! Fou Fri 08 Nov 2024
- Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
- Razor: Eversharp-Schick Hydro-magic (I2, NOS)
- Blade: Personna Injector Blade
- Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! - Heather

- Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! - Heather
I’ve planned a run through all Spearhead scents over the next few days (It’s going to be a trickholecentric week for me), and I’m starting with soft, powdery Heather. Looking at my tower of Spearhead tubs, I’m a bit taken aback by how many of them were absolute hits for me. My least favourite one is Roman Spice, and I really like that one too 😄. I remember my first use of Heather was also my first time competing in the Lather Games four years ago. Good memories. This scent manages to be green and lively without any of the sharp edges of a Fougère Classique, Brut, or Varen. Just happy, butter smooth, vernal green.
Today’s shave was a bit too early for my taste, so using a childproof extra mild Hydro-magic was fitting. The slightly scrubby Manchurian knot in this Zenith is perfection. No notes.
Heather sounds great! I’ve still yet to try any Spearhead soaps. Definitely on my list to pick up at some point.
Definitely worth a try!
Looks like we were thinking alike yesterday.

Summer Storm always brings me back to monsoon season in New Mexico. Fond memories of beautiful sunsets, the smell of rain in the desert, and the sound of thunder in the distance. A great way to end the week.
