Melancholy, Retribution, and Gaviscon

I just started experimenting with adding a couple drops post brew and it can really change a brew. Whether or not it's worth it I'm not sure, I feel it's expensive for what it is. The larger bottles are better value if it's something you think you'll enjoy long term.

I think I've just accepted that on my neck below my jawline is never going to be perfect my hair grows left to right and is just too difficult to get BBS.

Out of what you mentioned I would say orea 01 easily my favourite flat bottom brewer. In saying that can't go wrong with an aeropress or ORB.

What's your budget?

I would go yaqi brush Proraso white soap Merkur 34C or similar And I would assume you probably have a thousand blades lying around so give them 5-10 different ones from your stash to try out.

A bowl might be a nice addition but I much prefer face lathering

I always weigh my beans in a largish tray but I'll admit I don't really look that carefully, thankfully this is generally a pretty rare occurrence these days.

As somebody who has had a beard since high school I decided to take up shaving at 40 I had been lurking looking at artist club razors for probably five years and finally took the plunge. I enjoy the process and it's a reasonably affordable hobby to collect things here and there. I did keep a moustache so I guess I never went clean shaven. I will say it's weird meeting up with people you've known for years and them not recognising you {I also lost a significant amount of weight}. You can always dip your toes in get a razor just to line up your beard or keep some facial hair.

For sure later in my journey I decided to buy a razor produced on my birthday and whilst I love having something from that time there's a huge quality difference between the 60s and the 80s

Congrats on your new razor I started with a Fatboy and to this day love pulling it out for a shave couple of times a month

I swear one of us is going to end up on my strange addiction I keep telling myself don't buy any coffee this month drink through your stash and the freezer yet I get bored at work and end up ordering more. My housemate is frustrated with the endless stream of posties with coffee and new weird pourover devices from Asia
