Granted, Voyager isn’t perfect. But like Jerboa, it’s also free, open source and available on F-Droid too.
I have used quite a few Lemmy Apps - Jerboa, Eternity, Thunder and now finally Voyager. Out of all these, I like Voyager best. It has true AMOLED dark themes, tons of customisation, gesture control (although swiping for upvotes and replies is kinda fidgety with my big fingers) and touch-friendly links (nice for big fingers and ADHD brains). Also, from all of these it is the easiest app to write PMs to anyone, like right now with our BVWSC activities. E.g. Thunder doesn’t even have a PM function 🤔
I’d say try it out, give yourself time to adjust and familiarise with the new app and see how it works for you. I’m far from a pro user of it, but if any questions arise you can always shoot me a message and I’ll gladly try to help!
24.09.2024 - Neon Sun against rainy days
-> 2 pass head shave. Same blade as my recent bloody experience, different razor. Very smooth now that it lost its initial “bite”!
Neon Sun is such a great scent and NO base a treat as usual. The label sent some warm thoughts about a Miami sundown my way, kinda nice in the current rainy weather over here. Both passes went by very comfortable, I guess it was mostly a mindset and skill issue on my part during my last awful shave. Today I was more relaxed and it went way better. I rarely use my golden BT/FW, but it’s a very charming vintage razor. Mild, efficient and the gold plating is chipped off in some places to give it a rough aesthetic. It’s the cool kind of vintage with lots of ‘mojo’.
In other news, I trimmed off the circle beard/goatee and now rock my Zappa look (stache, soul patch and stubble) again. Occasionally I might shave my face again, but currently the dry parts of my face (cheeks, jawline) need a longer recovery break. Thing is, I totally like myself better this way too - with a goatee, it’s just generic bald guy #815 looking back in the mirror. Generally, with facial hair it’s all about what suits you best and what feels nice - and with wetshaving, you also have the greatest tools for contouring and caring for your skin.
