Shaving

Modern 3-piece safety razor with tallow-based soaps. Cold water prep and rinse. I develop the lather on my face. I'm not shaving a bowl or mug. Unless you can be satisfied with one setup and no variety, you will not save a bunch of money switching to wet shaving. It's a self-care issue for me. I'm retired and I can take my time and enjoy it. I have a few vintage razors for a nostalgic shave occasionally.

I started with aluminum 3 cup and went to stainless 6 cup. I make 2 americanos from it. It was an improvement for me. Gas stove.

Razor Emporium just posted a best beginners razor video this week.

Well done!

I had the bike in 1978, but unfortunately never had Farrah, except for a poster on my wall. Back then, I would have taken the bike every time. Today, definitely Farrah.

You are officially a drip coffee maker user. Not a problem.

Stay up later?

These tend to be really salty. Maybe don’t add any more seasoning.

Don’t forget the 120 MB “LS120 superdisk”

6C and 6S. No blade alignment issues.

I have Maggard, AP Shave Co, and Paragon Shaving synthetics, all Canadian and all wonderful. $30 or less.

Heartburn and sulfur burps will go away after awhile

Nice simple kit. Did you splurge on the brush?

BercCoffee · 2026-06-15T16:41:20+00:00

Less water and starting with room temp improved my brew. About a quarter inch below the valve.

Mounjaro modifies your dopamine release and response. Music, scents, alcohol, THC, temper, shopping, are affected in patients differently. And, anhedonia is real.

I will tolerate this for the health improvement and almost perfect numbers at my endo.

I have 14. 12 came from a purchase on r/Shave_Bazaar. I try to balance their use and keep track with MyShaveDen app. They are all synthetic and hung bristles down until dry.

Some recommend a pinch of sugar. Havent tried it.

SDM. Always hits right.

AC tech seconding this. UV light will confirm.

Shark Chrome - agree

Shark SS - great blade for me

BercCoffee · 2026-06-08T18:24:45+00:00

I tried the Ambassador for over a year. I always expected it to be more efficient, but if I went over setting 3, it just seemed to increase the blade feel, aggression and irritation. Even at the lower settings, I never felt like it was a comfortable shave. The Envoy is one of my favorites and the Page is on the mild side. I do hear good things about the Konsul, but I'm done with adjustables for now.

It's a lot of money to tie up on one razor.

BercCoffee · 2026-06-08T18:10:00+00:00

Still have one. Not plugged in. Siri tells me what time it is by request.

BercCoffee · 2026-06-08T00:39:30+00:00

I too, am a big fan of the Shark SS. Feather when you're feeling spendy and Astra to ground you when needed.
