WetShaving @sub.wetshaving.social djundjila @sub.wetshaving.social Mailcall! Moarteen!
So, my Moarteen has been marked as delivered at 10:34 today, which means that mine was probably the quickest to reach its destination. I was surprised by how nervous I was about it. What I convinced y'all to buy a piece of shit? So here's a quick post about unboxing, first impressions, a few detail and comparison shots, and a first shave with that thing.
So first things first: It's really sparkly 🎇
That thick red slab you see in the picture is the stamp that created the little Lathersnoo logo on the tang (@[email protected] and I had it made for this and it was returned to me so that it can be reused for future sub exclusives. If you have a project in mind that could benefit from it, let me know) and you won't get that, but otherwise, that parcel, box and razor is what you c

WetShaving @sub.wetshaving.social PorkButtsNTaters666 @sub.wetshaving.social [BVWSC Reminder]
This Wednesday is the day, so start blooming your smush!
I was wondering about the immediate sequel: Our Mayday shave is set, and I guess in June, there will be the Lather Games. Is this correct, and do we go on hiatus, just as we did last year for August?

WetShaving @sub.wetshaving.social walden @sub.wetshaving.social Micromatic's are great for travel.
I tried inserting a blade backwards into my Flying Wing, and it fits great! The tabs just need to be lined up manually.
This way I can just put it in my bag and not have to think about the blade -- especially useful for the trip home after the blade has been unwrapped.
This can only be accomplished with the cardboard wrapper removed, so it's yet to be seen if there's any metal-on-metal contact with the edge enough to alter the shave. I'll find out tomorrow!

WetShaving @sub.wetshaving.social djundjila @sub.wetshaving.social Operation Moarteen – Prepare for Hype!
As is tradition, this is not a drill! We have collected 47 of the 48 payments over the weekend, communicated all the last minute address changes and recipient changes to Ulrik, and paid a ridiculous amount of money for group-themed shave implements. The last phase of Operation Moarteen is thus initiated.
Project Moarteen Organising Committee (PMOC/OCPM), take a breath. What are you talking about?
We're done, the razors are paid, Ulrik has our money, he'll ship the razors.
But PMOC, you said that only 47 of the 48 payments have been made‽
Yes, there is one straggler we can't reach, and we've been impatient. That person's razor will be held back by Ulrik until further notice. We hope that this will give the missing person enough time to figure out what they're about to miss and pay up. We think that giving two weeks, until Mon, Apr 21, 23:59:59 GMT, should be a fair amount of time. If we don't get payment until then, we'll offer the razor to the people on the wait list for p
