Sorry, no. At this point, the portal is too much of a mess to extend it to lemmy, and I don't have it in me to do a full rewrite right now 😞
That's ok. It's not worth it to encourage me to play when ive never really played the games anyways

Superb!
This blade is just great. Very close and comfy. Hardly any aftershave feedback, and Clubman aftershaves have a hefty dose of alcohol in my experience.

The practice portal for lather games is up and running. Use it to check your formatting if you like!
I’m seeing Tabac come up more and more and I feel like I should try it. I see it comes in a balm.
It’s a staple for good reason. The scent is love/hate for a lot of people.
It's one of those love-it-or-hate-it fragrances :)
