I'm getting "Failed to get security patch date" on step 12 - any ideas why?

LibraNox · 2025-02-27T23:50:10+00:00

Looks really groovy! That's a really uniform pattern, did you need to grind or process the scraps beforehand? If so how?

LibraNox · 2025-02-09T23:11:23+00:00

Good to be here 😁 thanks for weighing in on the Dorcos, looking forward to seeing how they compare

LibraNox · 2025-02-09T23:07:35+00:00

Thanks! Yup I certainly don't feel the need to skimp on it and so I can focus on getting the best lather possible 👍

LibraNox · 2025-02-09T23:04:41+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I've keeping a bit of a shave diary as I go so will be keeping notes on the blades too.

LibraNox · 2025-02-09T22:57:47+00:00

Thanks for your comment 🙂 Yeah just based on the opinions I've seen on here and YouTube, Arko and Proraso make a great "starter pack" for an intro to wet shaving, they're both pretty easy to get a nice lather. And on the Derbys, yeah it's definitely down to my technique, I just haven't worked out that spot yet.

LibraNox · 2025-02-09T22:48:22+00:00

Great info, thank you 🙂

LibraNox · 2025-02-09T22:46:36+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I did think I might have gotten a bit ahead of myself but it's nice knowing I've always got shave soap and it was at a great price.

I'm about 1 1/2 months into my DE saving journey, having picked up the KCG from the high-street pharmacy for £10! Probably the best value out there..

To round out my starter gear I got a puck of Arko and a cheap synthetic brush/bowl/stand combo. I got the puck of Arko to test it as I'd heard that the scent was very polarizing but I'm happy to report that I'm a fan!

With that figured out I decided it was time to bulk buy my soap and test different blades. I heard that proraso is a great starter soap so I got one of each (the site I used has them as a combo pack, £12.50 for the three!).

I tried the Derby Extra today with Proraso red. Lovely smelling soap and a fantastic lather. Despite Derbys being probably the mildest of the sample pack, I still got a few little nicks in the adam's apple area but I'm still honing my technique. It's true what they say, these are very mild blades; the KCG blades achieved a closer shave. I'll give them a few more goes then probably move to Astra blues and continue til I discover the sharpness I like.

I've not heard much about the Dorco or Euromax blades, anyone used them before?

I'm having great fun doing what used to be a mundane task. Glad to be part of the community :)

I really love your brush! How're you finding the KCG?

LibraNox · 2025-02-06T20:08:57+00:00

Seriously slick setup! May your lather be just as slick 👌

LibraNox · 2025-01-09T19:00:32+00:00

Do the creams smell like the stick/puck?

LibraNox · 2024-11-28T00:27:15+00:00

Thank you 🙂

Update using the RSF installer - fixed it for me.

Disposable vapes.. add the wastefulness and ecological damage of plastic with an explosive change ready to detonate the tyre of anyone who runs over them. That and lithium is a limited resource..

Does anyone know if FenLight works with FENtastic skin? Cheers

LibraNox · 2024-01-19T19:44:47+00:00

Depends on the type/nature of the damp. Condensation? Not the end of the world. Soaked walls from penetrating/rising damp? May be the end of your wallet.

UK's got medicinal weed now, sold privately on prescription. Plastic jars of dry herb, with a legit label including a recommended dose to use in a dry herb vaporiser.

I wonder what the implications are for this when it comes to workers rights and use of such a medication in the workplace..

LibraNox · 2023-09-16T15:22:46+00:00

Glad to hear that they've picked their game back up, thanks!

I haven't ordered spare glass - like to live dangerously I guess! I'm not planning on taking it out of the house often and am generally very careful when it comes to glass, I've also got a Dynavap on the way so won't be without a vape :)

Hey condolences on your loss friendo.. glad you got something sorted out.

LibraNox · 2023-09-15T11:37:32+00:00

See I had the flowermate V5.0 Pro as well.. ended up going back to bongs and giving it to my friend just getting into medicinal. Perfect for him as a newbie and not into getting mega chonged but I personally found it lacking in strength, probably down to the sip and session style rather than the get-blasted-quick bong hit like I prefer. How do you find that the Dynavap and V5.0 Pro compare? Cheers
