Razor on loan from @EldrormR@sub.wetshaving.social. I've used a Pushbutton, Clog-Pruf, MM24, and now a Streamline. The Streamline is the first time I've actually, maybe, possibly, probably enjoyed a GEM shave. It went very well, especially for a 1st use PTFE blade. During the shave I couldn't help thinking the heavy weight had something to do with it, but who knows.
I forgot to post yesterday, but I promise I shaved. This tub of Hamami is getting very close, as is my tub of Roam. I'm going to use them both until they're gone. With any luck I'll have back-to-back kills.
It's obvious you're a daily shaver but I know what you mean. While traveling I didn't shave one day in early 2022 and didn't like that at all.
As an aside, I miss the monthly hardware and software reports. For software, I know that @worbx@sub.wetshaving.social was also including the Lemmy community.
Me too, I miss them. I keep thinking at some point I'd have time to play with them myself. I never do
Yayyy, but also, really? But mostly, yayy!
The gen 2 Streamline is really nice, I enjoy it too.
I know, I haven't been singing the praises of GEM recently. I have to be in the mood for them, but the mood does strike!
