Sunday, November 10, 2024: SLS
Easy shave tonight. The Omega whipped up an excellent lather as always.
I ordered the Stirling 31mm boar brush last week and am really looking forward to getting my hands on an even thicker boar brush.
I watched this video last night, great stuff! That razor is a real beauty.
I think I like the idea of starting with a Clog Pruf, but I'll keep my eyes open for a deal on either.
I picked them up secondhand, so they weren't full when I started.
I have used them quite a bit since I got used to the scent though.
Sunday, November 10, 2024: FLS - A Roamful Sunday Morning
Whenever I use Roam Two, I think it might be my favorite set. The progression from soap -> splash -> frag truly is a journey from sweet grass and juniper berries to earth, tobacco, and leather. It's just lovely all around.
I still have over 50% left of the splash and frag, but I'm already thinking about hunting down some backups.
My shave with the Superinox blade went really well, with no irritation and a super smooth result. Overall just a great start to my Sunday!
Also, I'll plug P2's review of Roam Two from over on w_e for any who haven't read it -- it really should be required reading. :)
This is super helpful, thank you.
I pushed up a change that wraps this up in the plugin creation, so it should no longer be necessary.
You'll also want to update your config to prevent lazy loading (since we want this plugin to be loaded immediately when nvim is opened):
{
"snooting/sotd.nvim",
dependencies = {
"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
"b0o/schemastore.nvim",
},
lazy = false,
config = function()
require("sotd").setup({
-- any config options
})
end,
}
Oh, it looks like I failed to document a pretty important step.
You currently need to define the SOTDCreate editor function somewhere, I have mine defined in .config/init.lua:
vim.api.nvim_create_user_command("SOTDCreate", function()
require("sotd").create_sotd()
end, {})
This is not ideal and is a rough edge that should be fixed. I'll take a look today.
Ah man, that's too bad. The handle is so pretty!
Worse come to worst I suppose you can always try to pull the knot and replace it with something better?
The Blackbird also looks like a great razor. Maybe one day.
I bought a Game Changer on r/shave_bazaar last week and will hopefully have it in hand sometime this week.
I got the .68 and .76 plates, really looking forward to giving it a spin!
Yeah, I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. It's good practice and gives me a chance to use all this soap I have lying around. :)
I'm very much looking forward to breaking that brush in. It seems to be the largest diameter boar brush offered currently, do you know of any that are larger?
