Interestingly enough I’m in the market for a new fridge and by far LG fridges have the best reviews from the Wirecutter and Consumer Reports. Also pretty happy with my LG washer/dryer. Not sure about their other stuff.
If you were a Lather Games Judge, what are three changes you would make to the games?

- Blade: GEM PTFE (2)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented With Beeswax - Puck
- Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave
Stirling’s alternative bases are great. UWB makes a wonderful lather, which I sort of wouldn’t think it would considering the use of beeswax.

Haven’t shaved in forever. Thankfully the OCMMOC: The Next Generation is one of the best razors for that problem. Great shave on Tabac Tuesday.

Decided to use one of my favorite BAM scents to round off a wonderful month of shaves. This was an incredible contest; absolutely loved the Royal Rumble format. Thanks so much to /u/ShavingInCT for running this event—it was a great way to get through the grey doldrums of March.

I wanted a nice clean, fresh, springtime scent for my night shave, and Presto delivers. I blind bought this one on sale and have to say it’s become one of my favorite BAM scents.
I mean, he’s no TSF, but this Will guy seems to have something going on here and I’m pulling for him to win the whole shebang.

I was once like many of you. Dismissive of /u/PrideTwo and /u/tsrblke and their crusade for TSF. Reveled at the idea of seeing them crushed under the heel of Medium-ish Soap.
And then I realized, since when do I stand up for the medium guy against the small guy? Since when do I revel in seeing a new-ish artisan thrown to the heap like so much rubbish to be disposed of?
No more, I say. It is time for us to rally together. To revel in the little guy. To embrace what can be—the hopers, the dreamers—against the establishment.
Join me. Delete your posts. Shave again. Use TSF. For together we usher in a new era for wet shaving together!

Today seemed as good a day as any to try out Talent Soap Factory.
Thanks to /u/tsrblke for sending this sample to me.
Gotta admit, this stuff smells like money. I struggled with the base, though, but that often happens the first time you use something.
To the moon!

Didn’t get a chance to shave the last two days of March Madness. So I shaved as early as I could today to help Stirling make it another round.
This brush is really, really hard to deal with. Have not figured it out yet.

I used to think enough was enough.
I was wrong.
Then I thought MOAR was enough.
But we all know more is never enough.
But will ~~REDACTED~~ be enough?
Will I be free?

My Samsung fridge that I’m replacing has a design flaw that causes the coils to freeze up, so I’d believe it.
