Progress Album
A slightly rushed shave, but I went into it knowing I could go quickly. I find Stirling to be incredibly easy to lather. It's more fun to add water slowly, but you can also just throw a bunch of water at it right up front and call it good, which is what I did today.
You can't go wrong with Stirling. To me, it's just like what buying Craftsman tools at Sears was like back in the day.
What's behind the $Discord tag?
Yeah, what @[email protected] said. I'm too lazy to remove it when pasting into Lemmy. Once AA is over I'll probably stop using that tag because I don't post on reddit very often outside of these "events".
The $Discord tag doesn't really serve a purpose here, but if you add the tag to your reddit post, a discord bot will automatically post your sotd comment to the sotd channel on discord.
Ahh. Thank you. I assume that's a fairly new bot. I expect I will see a lot of it from now on. Seems like a great time saver.
