Share your shave of the day!
Twenty-fourth Day of TabOKtoberfest
- Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal
- Razor: Union Cutlery Spike (5/8", wedge, square point, carbon steel)
- Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
The little Spike is an oddly pleasant razor. Smooth, silent, nimble, and the design is the Лада of straight razors.
Stank ++;
Side note: Uploading pictures is so much faster since the migration. It’s almost like having pictures didn’t have to be a PITA 🤔

Heh, welllll… I just tried to upload one. I get an HTTP 400 from the post to the /pictrs/image endpoint and the response body is Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out. I thought maybe because I was pasting a largish image so I tried a 350kb or so JPG and clicked the upload button …nope, same deal. Oh, and the UI tries to parse the body of the error response as JSON so it pops up a red box with SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data.
I got the same error message. I restarted everything and now I can upload no problem.
Why did this happen? I don’t know. Will it continue to happen in the future? I sure hope not!
Thanks for your efforts and yay, that works here too! I can paste them even. Nice. Interestingly, I copied a JPG by right clicking in Firefox and it wound up as a PNG when I pasted that. But maybe that’s the browser? Still, it’d be neat if the site converts to something more efficient like WebP and maybe caps the res at 4k …though maybe storage is cheap enough at this point that we could each put a full res SotD from our phones for the next decade without really being a burden? …and now I wonder if the transcoding can be done client side via wasm or something. Yawn, I should sleep, rambling.
Oh! One thing though: earlier I tried pasting my SotD to another Lemmy instance to see if that works and it did fine. I didn’t post it and cancelled the preview. However the image stuck around. Wondered if and how those get mopped up, maybe a cron job? It seems to be there still some hours later, might check tomorrow just out of curiosity.
(heh I think you restarted while I was trying to post this so will also be interesting if the image persists, though presumably shouldn’t be orphaned now that it’s referenced in a comment?)

- Razor: Aylsworth Razors Drakkant Plus
- Blade: Gillette Platinum [9]

The Aylsworth handled three days of growth like it was nothing and left me BBS.
I needed a scent that is clean, unobtrusive, and refreshing this morning, and Almond Leather did the job beautifully.

I really like this knot. Overall this was a great shave. I’m starting to pick up a little bit of “Executive Man” in “Piacenza”, but I think it’s just the citrus in it that might be similar. I definitely like Piacenza better overall. To keep the citrus going, I went with Florida Water as an aftershave. Florida Water is an EdC, so using it as an aftershave requires me to add water, unless I want my face to turn red with alcohol burn. I do this by getting my face good and wet before applying it.
