Closed comb vs open comb does not play into aggressiveness as much as people think. There might be a correlation just based off the fact that most open comb razors sold are also aggressive… but it’s not a hard and fast rule.

This picture does a great job explaining the geometries involved, and it applies to open comb and closed comb alike.

People might enjoy open comb razors for other reasons. They’re sort of designed to let long whiskers get through to the blade easier, but even that is debatable.

Either way, there are mild and aggressive open comb razors, and there are mild and aggressive closed comb razors. A vast majority of safety razors are closed comb.

To answer your question about suggesting a razor, can you clarify what you mean by mildly aggressive? Do you want something mild and efficient? Something with blade feel? Something in the middle?

I disagree that it can’t be LG anymore since it’s still a basic TV so long as you don’t connect it to the internet. Use the TV as a TV and use an Nvidia Shield, Chromecast, etc to do your internet stuff.

Great!

Easy enough, sounds like a plan!

Barrister & Mann - Promises

Citrus and exhaust smoke in the Omnibus base.

Infused with notes of orange, bergamot, real honey, whiskey lactone, peat, and nutmeg, this fragrance encapsulates the spirit of Northeastern winter adventures, further heightened by the incorporation of high-grade saffron molecules, lending an industrial yet nostalgic character reminiscent of idling sleds.

Vanilla nginx is still too far over my head, but Nginx Proxy Manager makes easy work of it.

A lot of people like Caddy but I’ve never tried it. The config files are much simpler and it auto-renews certificates (but so does Nginx Proxy Manager).

Just need your address…

I enjoyed my quick visit to that place.

Nice, yeah I’ve tested with my acount and it’s definitely a language thing. I actually found out how to enable it on everyone’s accounts using a database command, so problem solved for everybody.

I replied to Porkbutts and maybe this will help for you too – check the language settings under your account. English should be selected. If it’s not, that might make some things not show up. I’ve never had a good grasp on why the language thing is the way it is with Lemmy, but hopefully that helps.

New accounts have English enabled by default, but I don’t think it was retroactive to older accounts.

Replying with a different account with a different language setting to see if it helps:

This is most likely because of language settings, and I have to look into it I guess. Lemmy language is such a strange thing – this Lemmy instance has had “undefined” as the only option for a long time. I changed it last night to include English as well…

Try checking your account settings and make sure English is selected. This is the default for new registrations (I think), but older registrations like us old timers have to manually enable it.

If it starts working…

Nice.

That brush is beautiful.

A while ago I decided that BTH only works well for 1 device (using wireguard at least) at a time.

I messed around and made different profiles (not sure of the actual name) for each device and that solved my problems.

Worth a shot.

• Brush: Semogue - 1800 Boar
• Razor: Koraat 15/16 Full Hollow - Sub Exclusive ‘Moarteen’ (4)
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Soap
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Dove - Men+Care Ultra-Hydra - Cream
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - EdP

Different razor than yesterday, but both have 4 shaves on them since touching a 10k synthetic stone. I focused on a shallow angle, and although I’d call yesterday’s shave “better”, today was quite good as well! Based on the past two days I’m sold on a shallow angle.

Tusk soap has been inconsistent for me. Sometimes I get great lather, but I think it’s so easy for me to overhydrate it based on my personal preferences and I tend to lose all secondary slickness. If I used it more often I probably wouldn’t have trouble with it.

I thought it was going to take a turn similar to how Cricket dated a dog that one time, but nope that guy was just raw doggin’ it all the time.

Open an IRA at any brokerage (Vanguard, Fidelity, etc) and you can buy whatever you want. Just because it’s a Vanguard account doesn’t mean you can’t buy Fidelity stuff.

I have no clue about the LLC stuff or why you’d want to do that. An IRA is just a type of account that comes with some tax benefits.

Edit: ok, I was unfamiliar with “Self-directed IRA”. That’s a different ballgame and is going to cost you money.
