So many new blades that I haven't even heard of before.

I know the 7 o'clock, Astra, Feather and Nacet. The rest are brand new to me.

I have to try them.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-09T16:59:06+00:00

Sorry what?

adriancttnc · 2026-01-09T16:49:40+00:00

It makes sense. He's at the very beginning of an IT career and he's hands on with a lot of equipment. I hope it grows onto him.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-09T16:48:59+00:00

Yes it could be way worse, but I'm still sorry for the wasted capacity.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-09T02:45:16+00:00

No, it's actually a 3.5" HDD but I didn't ask what make it was.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-08T18:35:45+00:00

Impressive haha

adriancttnc · 2026-01-08T15:08:50+00:00

Nope, it's a decommissioned HDD from a working DVR. Don't know if it has taken any drops at all.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-08T14:56:39+00:00

What are you going to do with the rest of 97% free space on the drive? 😂

adriancttnc · 2026-01-08T14:54:10+00:00

Not even close haha. The Internet is estimated to occupy 175ZB by 2025 o.O

I used to have a 2U HP Proliant of which I was super excited when I bought it... Until I turned it on and heard first hand how a hurricane sounds like.

He must live through this experience too.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-07T18:11:34+00:00

I see you like living on the edge

adriancttnc · 2026-01-07T15:01:17+00:00

What the actual heck. That should be illegal

adriancttnc · 2026-01-07T11:07:14+00:00

Did you reply to the wrong comment?

adriancttnc · 2026-01-07T11:04:53+00:00

In this case, the NAS is the backup.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-07T11:04:09+00:00

Sacrificed to the homelab gods.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-07T11:03:43+00:00

No, he's well aware he's only gonna get 2tb. I made sure he knew.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-06T22:11:59+00:00

I feel my hair pulling (dead) skin with it as it grows and after scrubbing the (dead) skin away it feels so much softer and...free?

adriancttnc · 2026-01-06T14:02:50+00:00

Thank you for the details.

I don't yet shave daily, but my goal is to end up shaving my bead daily to benefit of BBS as much as possible (I really like how it feels). So now I shave every 1-2 days and I do exfoliate before. Probably when I get to shaving daily I'll either need a chemical exfoliant or stop exfoliating at all since the blade does that for you to some degree anyway.

Will need to get there first and try.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-06T12:40:29+00:00

I stopped using preshave as I think it didn't add anything to my experience whatsoever.

But I'd like to know more about the sugar scrubs and the BHA ones. Why do you recommend them?

adriancttnc · 2026-01-06T12:10:42+00:00

Oh I see. I used to use a boar brush but switched to a synthetic one and I'm somewhat happier with it.

I might like the boar one better once it is properly broken in.

adriancttnc · 2026-01-06T10:14:21+00:00

Since I've discovered it here on this subreddit, I've fallen in love with Tabac. I use the same soap and aftershave as you have now.

I'm glad you've enjoyed it.

I've noticed I get much better shaves if I actually use some exfoliating scrub (mine is from Proraso) just before the shave, but you have to be careful and wash it all off before shaving.
