  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Micromatic Flying Wing
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (9)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave

I finally gained access to my password manager using a combination of a VPN into my house, opening up Proxmox in a browser, and using a Remote Desktop to access it from a browser that is already authenticated. I was able to disable 2FA from the settings there, allowing me access from my new phone.

I was able to sort of remember my shaves since last Wednesday so I put them in the database. Feels good to be logged in and caught up.

We travel home today so this is the end of the tour for the greatest travel razor ever! Any Micromatic is excellent because you can turn the blade around so it’s safe to pack in a suitcase without slicing any probing fingers at the airport. It also keeps it safe from kids between shaves.

I never thought of turning the blade around. Excellent Idea! (And, any razor called the Flying Wing better be top of the list for travel razors 🀣)

You just have to make sure to put in checked luggage because of the Bullet Tip moniker 🀣 (not withstanding the safety razor aspect of things).
