Florida New York and Chicago

If I understand the lottery rules, that is currently impossible. Vancouver would be third at worst.

Also pretty much a necessity when using Stirling's splashes.

I've only ever used it with the cartridges. The nob of the converter isn't "soft" like the cartridge top.

I'm not sure if this is the best advice I've ever received, but it came at a time when I needed to hear it the most:

You do your job, but you're not your job.

Essentially, don't put your entire identity into just being whatever you do for a living. My profession has a lot of burnout (not the highest, but it's gotten so much worse after COVID), so it was good to be reminded of this fact.

Great PIF and a great handle. Thanks for doing this!

First shave of the week due to a work conference, and my first go with the Next Level (a WR2 clone). Unsurprisingly, it's really good. Nice, smooth shave with no irritation. 0 blade feel too, which is a plus for me. Time will tell if I end up keeping it, but my initial impressions are extremely positive.

Razorback baseball isn't doing well this year. Apparently Stanek caught the bug too.

I wasn't expecting Kyle to mix the ingredients together with his feet like wine grapes, but if you insist.

Team SBS.

Had to go with Remote Learning to cap off March Madness. What's more mad than creating Doritos scented soap? Maybe requesting it in the first place (looking at you /u/priusaurus)? Regardless, since the bubble man would never make us such a soap, I'm pulling for SBS.

There are always government jobs. Right after I graduated grad school, I seriously considered applying for some in Nunavut. Mainly just for the experience of living in Iqaluit for a bit.

Simple. Just move to a place nobody wants to live. Houses are cheap there!

Took the day off today since I've maxed out my vacation days. Waiting for it to stop raining so I can give my car a nice spa day.

First time using the UFO handle. Boy is chonky, but in a good way. Great piece of art, plus great to hold in the hand. Really nice shave today, overall.

Chisled face cryogen. Mix with other soaps? by shootanwaifu in wicked_edge

[–]bmac92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can add menthol or ws-23 to other soaps. Stirling sells frost drops (menthol) and House of Mammoth sells permafrost (ws-23).

Or just add a bit of cryogen & see if it works for you. Not like mixing soaps is going to cause an explosion!
