Does anyone here have a good shave with astra blades? What’s your routine?

I use Astra blades. I only use each blade for two shaves though, otherwise they get too dull for me. I use Taylor of Old Bond Street shaving cream with a brush and lather bowl. The 150g/5.3oz shaving cream lasts me about 300 shaves.

This is a beautiful piece. You've done a fantastic job.

When I asked my grandparents about it years later, they didn't remember doing it and they had no idea why they would've done it. :(

When I was between 10-12 years old, I attended a family celebration at my grandparents' house. I walked into one of the side rooms where my uncle was chilling by himself on a couch, and I noticed something shiny in the upper corner of the window. I took a closer look and found a wad of aluminum foil smashed into the corner against the window pane and it was somehow affixed there. I pointed to it and asked my uncle what the purpose of it was. He replied, "Papa and Nana believe in aliens. They put that up there so if an alien ship fires a laser at the house, it'll reflect back at the ship." And for some reason, I just believed his sarcastic nonsense. I believed my grandparents were alien fanatics well into my teens.

Sometimes comic artists follow a predetermined theme for comics for every day in October. I've seen it happen in past years. I can't find the plan for this year though.

It must be hard out there for people with a citizenship kink.

I opened my mailbox the other day to SEVEN political flyers. They've been nonstop for me.

I can tell you a set to avoid, the AKNES GuliKit sticks (sold on Amazon). For some reason, when you go to calibrate the sticks, the area the sticks can move show up as squares instead of circles. This means when a stick moves at an angle (top left, bottom right, etc), the stick moves into one of the corners of the square. Since there's a longer simulated distance for the same hardware distance, moving a sick at an angle registers faster than moving a stick in a cardinal direction. It's weird. It was too much of a pain to uninstall, find new ones, then reinstall, so I've just put up with it.

Wow, that's so pretty.

I really want this movie. Especially if every time the scene changes, her disguise is different and more ridiculous.

Possibly the buntline hitch? Wiki link, animated knots link.
