Great shave. The Astra green blades have been working very well for the last couple shaves. I’m a bit shy to order a whole sleeve of them though. I ordered a sleeve of Personna blades after I had a great tuck of them and the whole sleeve sucks. They are packaged different, same brand and model, and perform terribly.
Back-to-work stage of grief

It’s time for Haslinger on Monday. With the ring of death, lathering became difficult, so I scraped the soap together and created a small hill of death.
In unrelated news, I got lem.el to run on emacs, but I couldn’t figure out how to find the threads on our instance. So I will continue to create the SOTD posts in emacs, and then paste them over to the webgui of Lemmy. This is not ideal, but lem.el is not well documented, and I lack the time and the energy to dive in.
Have a good night!
