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

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?

May. 10, 2025

  • Brush: Proraso Professional
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
  • 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.

  • Brush: Zenith MOAR BOAR
  • Razor: GEM Open Comb Micromatic Gen. 2
  • Blade: GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac - Puck
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Unscented - Aftershave

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.

I decided to start up an instance for our subreddit and it’s been working out really well so far. It was probably about 8 hours of work to get everything together, get our daily posts to go up, etc. A few bugs to work out but overall people are pretty happy with it.

This worked well for us because our sub is a tight knit community. Other tight knit communities might consider something similar, and then just federating with the larger instances.
