Whoo!
YAYYY! @[email protected] is back on patrol! Thanks @[email protected] for fixing it!
LG are done, I've cleared my docket first thing in the morning and shaved with Roman Spice as the second thing. This set has arrived during Lather Games, and I've been itching to use it. I love the fresh apple opening and I'm still processing scent. I think it's going to get a lot of use this summer.
I really like the opening but I'm especially fond of the dry down. It's really almost two different scents at that point, to my nose.
I have Roman Spice. What a great idea to start July with it! I was going to pass on this but @whosgotthepudding insisted I buy it. That was great advice. Shawn is batting 1000 on the Seaforth fragrances.
Yeah, it's crazy, literally all they're scents are winners IMO
Yeah, Shawn and Dennis just crush it when it comes modernizing those classic scents.
They really do! And without trying (he’s not a SR shaver), Dennis’ Highland base is just great for straights.
Well, almost. The auto post software was self hosted in Docker before, but that's still broken. There's an open ticket on GitHub, and it's not just ours that isn't working.
It's also hosted by the author at schedule.lemmings.world. Same version, but I don't think he uses Docker, and his is working.
So the posts are coming from there for now.
Oh well, as long as it works
