👍 Looking good !

What about a logo competition?

This was my first result with carefree prompting:

I thought of the lemmy logo with some lather, but I didn’t find a quick free service where you can upload a picture to modify it. In the Bing Image Creator, the following was the best I could manage:

But that does’t look like the lemmy logo:

I would look for 2 things

• width: you want to get a strop that is large enough to fit the whole edge (8 cm/3 inches should do it)
• you probably want a leather plus linen strop, and not only leather

I have a Duke City strop, and it’s perfectly serviceable

Whenever you want -but do we have a logo for our group/server yet?

Same here, though I’m not sure that Shub-Niggurath would make for a good etching. If you want a mother goddess, maybe the sign of Tanit?

that makes it sound like we’re some secret society cult lodge that tries to summon the ancient wetshaving gods

With a big picture of a masonic razor, the branding is complete!

My bad - this is obviously the correct answer

✅

Often our worst ideas turn out to be great, so don’t be shy.

You asked for it! What about:

• ptolmy.wetshaving.social (because Alexander the Great)
• cleopatra.wetshaving.social (because Ptolmy)
• nile.wetshaving.social (because Alexandria)
• egypt.wetshaving.social (because Alexandria)
• serapis.wetshaving.social (because Alexandria + rite)
• koptic.wetshaving.social (because Alexandria + rite)

I rest my case.

Seconding the seconding (not sure whether this is thirding or fourthing, though)

They have both donkeys and horses, and they produce shaving soaps based on both (at first glance, I also assumed that everything was based on donkey milk, thus my question )

I repeatedly complained about the frag burn I got from TGS Amber Fougère – which was worse than what I had from Ariana and Evans. The soap is nothing special, and I will abstain.

There’s also this one:

I believe that it’s produced by LPL

Why did itehaveto be TGS ? 😰

There’s donkey milk soap stuff - does someone make soap out of mare milk?

I’m trying to do without aftershave today, maybe that will help. And joining @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social in the Zenith XS horse club.
