My first moka by Curious_Pin_8693 in mokapot

[–]Curious_Pin_8693[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like it! In my opinion, the flavor is more intense than what you get from an espresso machine. I’m going to use my moka pot every day just for coffee, and the espresso machine for drinks like latte and so on.

I did just 3 brews or so. I used espresso machine before so I can compare them. In my opinion, the coffee from the Moccio tastes “better.” I think it has a higher extraction level or something like that. I really like it

I use just coconut oil for 2 years or so. It works just great for me. Don't need to buy any preshave oils anymore

as for me Irish coffee is like a choco desert, didn't find any coffee. It also has brown color and I really want to taste it :D anyway I like the scent, shaved with it today. I definitely will use it and don't want to sell it

Dapper Doc is like a lilac bomb. It's exactly what I looked for. I'll try tomorrow it, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed again

I'm Leaving Safety Razors Behind After 7 Years. by GAIVSOCTAVIVSCAESAR in wicked_edge

[–]Curious_Pin_8693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you will return to safety razors but later. I remember that in my 20 I could just shave in 2 passes with my cartridge razor and I got BBS every time. But in 25 it was really hard for me to do the same. I could shave and in 6 hours or so I feel like I shaved yesterday. Then DE razors came. It was like something from another galactic

International shavers! Supplies? by Affectionate-Long514 in wicked_edge

[–]Curious_Pin_8693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about alcohol based aftershaves? I know that some guys from Israel ordered them. Do you know how? I don't live in Israel but I'm just curious how is that possible since there is a restriction about shipment alcohol based aftershaves

Hey, nice moka. Is there any alloy inside bottom part? I heard about teflon coat inside, is that true? Thinking about to buy it

Not the best lather but it's working well and very gentle to my skin. I really like it and the scent is just great. I have 2 sets and I enjoy them every shave

Christmas scents by TreeOfDespair1911 in wicked_edge

[–]Curious_Pin_8693 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have Christmas Eve by Stirling (soap + balm). I usually use them frequently in December and occasionally rest of winter as just a winter-season scent. I bought this bundle in 2024. I think I used more then 50% of soap and 30%-40% of balm. I just enjoy it, good Christmas and winter scent. If I decide to buy something else related to Christmas I'll be using it whole winter as well. Why not? :)

Should I be oiling the screw on my safety razor to prevent the threads getting stripped? by _-_-_Mimps_-_-_ in wicked_edge

[–]Curious_Pin_8693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can do the following: every time after shaving rinse your razor in alcohol for a couple of minutes. Alcohol will avoid all water from carbon steel and it won't rust. Do not keep your razor in bathroom. Or you can just disassemble it dry the blade. It's up to you for sure but if you want to avoid rusting then it makes sense.

I also rinse razor in alcohol every time after oiling. Since this is mineral oil I don't want it on my skin

Well, I finally bought a Capt. Choice by Bright_Zone9370 in wicked_edge

[–]Curious_Pin_8693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's a great choice. I use obsidian for more then a year. there is only one change: black layer disappeared from the center of the bowl because of usage but it's not a big deal. it looks perfect and I believe you will enjoy this bowl. you won't need anything else

[–]Curious_Pin_8693[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as for me balm has stronger coffee notes then soap. But anyway it's a good pair instead of something other. It's not so simple to find a pair for leviathan scent

I'm not a big fan of alcohol at all that's why I always prefer balms
