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?

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.
