Last year was a stainless steel razor, right?

Wow, that's a lot of time listening. Some headphones can be fatiguing, but these must not be!

Do you listen to music mostly?

  • Brush: Zenith - 508A XL/Bristle (B35) (MOAR BOAR) 31mm Boar
  • Razor: Joseph Rogers & Sons Near Wedge (7)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Soap
  • Post Shave: Brut - Brut - Splash On
  • Fragrance: Noble Otter - Hamami - EdP

Very nice! I didn't strop, but I do wonder if stropping would have improved the feel. The end result is really good, but I think overall it could have been better. I think this razor is made of relatively "soft" steel, so in theory I'd think stropping would help. Maybe I'll try it again tomorrow.

It has to do with taking up screen space. "Advertising and headers take up ....". The title bar is sort of a header, so I posted how to remove it.

Right click up on the toolbar and select "Customize Toolbar". Uncheck "Title Bar" to get ride of the text at the top of the screen.

Edit: apparently this stuck a nerve. This is a way to increase screen space, just like how someone recommended using verticle tabs.

Much better than yesterday. Great shave. I'm really enjoying this soap base.

If it's just for charging, a USB-C port is just a different part. The charge controller and everything can stay "dumb" if it's a low power device.

The USB-C spec is complicated and to take full advantage of it is expensive like you said, but I think just using a modern form factor isn't expensive.

Yeah, that stinks.

Did you shave more frequently pre-offspring?
