Right now I have all of my soaps, blades, etc. in a Google Sheets. I can copy/paste, or export to whatever they allow. Maybe I'll tinker with it later.
Oh this is great. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I truly hope there are some confused idiots when it switches over, although they'll probably believe everything and not recognize that it's satire.
I took a quick look at sotd.nvim and I might be deterred by the json formatting. Json is great and everything, but that would be pretty tedious for me!
Is there a json tool where you can copy in a spreadsheet and it'll try and format it for you?
they believe he may now be in Eastern Europe.
Has anyone checked if he's on lemmy.ml?
The Flying Wing is actually my favorite GEM at the moment. It's the mildest one I own, except maybe the Damaskeene.
Have you smelled Puros? It's definitely a good combo. I ended up throwing or giving away my Puros soap because it was garbage, but the aftershave isn't bad and smells great.
Really? That's an odd thing for them to change, but what do I know.
I didn't see any major bugs, and I confirmed with our auto-bot developer that that software will work with the new version, so cross your fingers.
I'm also working on a fancy uptime page which you can see here https://uptime.splettnet.com/status/wetshaving (URL subject to change).

Super nice shave. Everything clicked.
RE: BS products from massive corporations, I'm with you for sure.
RE: soap is soap - there are lots of different types of soap. Each type of fat has differing amounts of loric acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, etc. Lard makes a soap that's a good firmness (not too soft, not too hard), not very cleansing (so it won't dry your skin out, but also won't do much hard cleaning), very conditioning, not very bubbly, but very creamy. Other fats/oils yield much different results. Soaps with a lot of coconut oil are very cleansing, so they'll dry your skin out. Your soap sounds like it could be used daily without any problems.
So, I disagree that soap is soap. Soap that's made specifically for shaving typically has a lot of added stearic acid, because no natural fats have enough natural stearic acid to produce a really stable lather that won't dissipate during the shave. Most use a lot of beef tallow, but there are also a lot of vegan options.
If it's the best soap you've ever used, that would negate the claim that soap is soap. I'm happy you've found something you like.
There are always people in all hobbies that think it's their way or the highway (no offense, but your comments have that tone to them).
I try to avoid that and just share what I enjoy.
One of the biggest things I hear is "cartridges cause irritation and DE razors don't!". That is 100% false and I disagree with it. Still, I love using DE razors and would recommend them to anyone interested in "enjoying" shaving.
Sounds like you have it all figured out for yourself.
I use artisan shave soap because they work extremely well and smell awesome. Commercial soap also works well, but there isn't as much variety in the smell department. I have a handful of brushes and I use whichever one I feel like on a given day. They all offer something unique.
I use aftershave for the same reason you mentioned. Aloe sounds like it'd be sticky and unpleasant for my skin type.
Well, I took another look, and I don't think neovim is for me. I looked at installing one of the dependencies, and the dependency had dependencies, and I don't know how to install any of it. Oh well!
The spreadsheet I use is really easy. I can do it on my phone while I'm traveling, too.
