Wednesday Daily Questions Thread (Newbie Friendly) - June 14, 2023
  • You can do it however you wish; I doubt anyone'll police you. Hell, I list the number as a question mark half the time because somehow remembering how many times I've used a blade and adding +1 is too much math for me.

    But from what I've seen, most people seem to use that number as the N-th use. The first shave will have no number, meaning it's a fresh blade, and the second will have 2. So that's how I've been doing it as well, whenever I remember.

  • Welcome Wednesday and Daily Questions Thread (Newbie Friendly) - June 14, 2023
  • I'm using the website, sub.wetshaving.social, on Windows in both Firefox and Brave. I tried looking at local posts and then at the Wetshaving sub itself, and I of course refreshed. I'm not sure what's up, there. But I'm sorry, I'll delete the threads and try to figure out why I'm not seeing things.

  • Admins: What's your optimization strategy?
  • It may help you some to block media from bot instances, such as BotsIn.space. Of course, that may be inconvenient if you or your users follow bots that post images.

    You could also import one of the blocklists from Oliphant or another collection. Of course, their purpose is mainly to avoid bigotry and harassment, but depending on how many of them you're federated with, it may have a slight affect on space used as well.

    Of course, none of these are even slightly as effective as deleting media server-side, but that's something the Masto.host owner would have to help you with, here.

  • Jun. 14th, 2023 - Aw fuck, anyone got a good ghost- and shaving-related dad joke?

    • Prep: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser
    • Brush: Zenith 507U XSE (26mm)
    • Bowl: Proraso Bowl
    • Razor: RazoRock Lupo .95 SB
    • Blade: Gillette Platinum (?)
    • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber
    • Post-shave: Lothur - Samber

    Felt a sudden desire to use this soap today, so I humoured it. Not sure why; it's not a bad scent, but it's not one I'm in love with either. Perfectly average. I do like the way it all comes together though; I didn't expect gumpowder to fit in so well!

    I wish I had a horse brush. Would've been more on-theme. Ah well, boar it is! I'd say it's breaking in nicely, but ... is it? I don't know. It feels good, but it felt good to begin with. More shaving required!

    And yes, I know, fuck Lothur. If it's any comfort, I'm definitely not buying their aftershaves again. Too much alcohol. And with Blackwatch filling in a similar niche for me, I may be OK without the Samber soap after all, although it does smell damn good.

    It's awesome to see that there's actually been a wetshaving sub here for two years! However, unless something's not federating right, it looks quite dead now.

    On the off chance anyone subscribed to it is still active, use your search feature, search for anything or communities, and enter [email protected]. That's where many of us r/wetshaving folks are moving to.

    There are some other subs there as well you may wish to check out, and there may be more in the future. Looking forward to seeing you there!

    Saturday Shave of the Day Thread - June 10, 2023
  • I had to re-read that sentence several times, and I'm still not sure ... well. Not that I care or mind if you're shaving your pussy with a straight, of course. Good for you, man! The mechanics of what down there might be considered the "neck" are the only thing that confuse me.

    Jokes aside, that's some unfortunate autocorrect!

  • Jun. 10th, 2023 - guiltily in love with a scent

    • Prep: CeraVe Foaming Cleanser
    • Brush: Zenith 507U XSE (26mm)
    • Bowl: Proraso Mug
    • Razor: RazoRock Lupo .95 SB
    • Lather: Zingari Man - The Gent
    • Post-shave: MoonSoaps - Warmest Regards

    Posting this one here as well, one day late.

    An ironic pick given the recent Discord discussion. Fuck that brand name, and this scent for being so good, and me for being willing to abandon my morals for good-quality shave stuff.

    Amazing shave otherwise, though. 🤔
