    • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: GEM Flying Wing
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (5)
    • Lather: Red House Farms - No Scrub - Soap
    • Post Shave: Old Spice - Original - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Jitterbug - EdP

    An “ironic” shave.

    Lather - A soap organized by @enndeegee@sub.wetshaving.social and made by a soaper who was shunned by IRC. The soap was given to winners of the enndeegee “No Scrub” contest and also to organizers, judges, and other contributors to the Lather Games. Ironically absent is anyone from the IRC gang.

    Aftershave - The favorite smell of u/cowzilla3, writer of many reviews. Reviewers have historically been chased off the sub by the IRC gang, including by myself back in my IRC days. People like velocipedic wrote lots of reviews, made a lot of revisions to the r/wetshaving wiki, etc., and were looked down upon by the IRC gang. Asking why there aren’t more reviews with a history like that is pretty laughable.

    Frag - I got Jitterbug as a gift from Ben after helping him with a spreadsheet. I remember multiple times where the IRC bullies ganged up on Ben for talking too much about his creative process. I guess they were annoyed by that? They’ve ganged up on most of our outstanding members. J33p, DJ, and whoever else dared to publicly speak the truth about the IRC bullies got banned from IRC. A blessing in disguise. IRC has been in a battle against r/wetshaving for 2+ years now.

    I’m listening to the new album by u/VisceralWatch as I’m typing this up. The album was sponsored by a soaper who is still active in the sub, along with someone else from r/wetshaving. The album is a result of a great collaboration, and winners were recently announced as part of the 5 year celebration by u/Ironbeard_SYS at spearheadshaving.com.

    Adults have the ability make their own decisions about which websites they use. Children only have the ability to complain.

    If you think r/wetshaving is in a lul, dying, or threatened by some other website with 9 monthly users, etc… get your head out of your ass. We’re not going to wait, so try and keep up.

      👏🏻 Well said!
      How sad that some people feel threatened by our small community with only a handful of members. The things about the IRC crowd sound so awful, like hating on Ben from HoM for talking about his creative process - do these people get mad when the Movie they love also has a “Making of…” or “Behind the scenes” segment on the DVD/Blu-ray?!?. How spiteful can people be? 🤦🏻‍♂️

      Judging by the newest abhorrent change Reddit implemented to their ToS, I guess many more will leave sooner or later. Let’s wait and see, we’ll be here if they want a new home. Thanks for doing a great job managing this instance and standing up for us, walden ! 🤝🏻
