October 24, 2025 -- Darkfall Day

- Blade: Wilkinson Sword Black (3)
- Lather: Declaration Grooming - Darkfall - Soap
- Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
It was a beautiful and very chilly fall morning here. Absolutely perfect for Darkfall. If you like a deep warm and woody scent with a hint of smokiness and spice, this one is worth a try. Darkfall and Leviathan really speak to me this time of year.
u/VisceralWatch gave me this FBT. Such an elegant design that somehow provides excellent feedback on what's happening at the edge.

Great shave, and should be my 10th use of Fanzine this month. If memory serves, this should ensure my placement in the runnings for some sort of prize!
I did some revamping of how things are cross-posted amongst my various wetshaving services (the Shaving Data System, Zulip Chat, etc.). There should be fewer problems with things getting cut off :-) @gcgallant@wetshav.ing this should fix what I was talking about a day or two ago.
I also finally managed to get the Zulip chat to store files in hosted object storage instead of local storage, which is much cheaper and better for the long term.
