I hadn't noticed the lack of thumbnail, good catch! On Lemmy it's very client specific, but I guess PieFed doesn't show any thumbnail if there's no link associated with the post. I'll ask Rimu about it. I think our use of a thumbnail for posts is pretty niche.

With regards to the number of passes? Still sussing that out and I'm sure I'll flip flop a bit over time.
In general, though, I'd say the past week has been a big improvement since I found magic in a lower angle, and the magic seems to translate to all 4 razors currently in my rotation.
Sometimes it's the only way to really figure out what's broken.
Nice work. I've replaced the wrong part before, but I learned a lot from it. Something was dripping on the exhaust manifold, so I replaced the heater core because it was in the right place, and coolant runs through it. It turned out to be the head gasket that needed replacing, so I got to do that, too. I'm in a different place now financially, and will never do either of those jobs myself ever again.

Great shave. Very close and comfy. Back to 3+ passes today.
Yeah, pretty close. There were a bunch of picnic tables at this nature show and we were in the last row but still with a decent view.

Linux Mint
... or maybe it was Ubuntu, but it didn't last long so I don't really count it. Linux Mint stuck for a number of years.
You should be able to see everything now. I ran a database command to enable English for everyone.

Another very nice 2.5 pass shave. Now I'm wondering if I can go straight to ATG using other types of razors :-)
This has cut down the amount of time it takes me to do a straight razor shave which is a nice bonus.
I have 3 tubs of Tusk and I'd like to kill one or two of them to make room for other soap bases. This 30mm knot really helps with that mission, I think!
Why not now? Do you use the computer for school or work?
Linux is very easy to try, without even installing it. You can load Linux Mint on a USB thumb drive, then the hardest part is setting your BIOS to boot from it.

Totally forgot to strop, but as has been shown by some of our members, stropping sometimes isn't required! Maybe it was the lather, or the unstropped blade, or my technique, or all of the above... I give this shave a 10\10.
