Visually this lather is very disappointing, but luckily it provides good slickness and is even usable with a straight razor! The razor felt great today, actually. I only stropped it 30 times compared to I think 70 last time... and it felt better.

With any luck, this SOTD post will get crossposted to the Zulip Chat (https://chat.wetshav.ing/) from Reddit, using the same requirement of a $discord tag.

Nice use of the $discord tag. I assume your logic won’t copy a SOTD twice. (I post to PieFed, Lemmy, and Reddit).

[–] walden@wetshav.ing 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It will post twice until I figure out an elegant way to prevent it :-)

[–] gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

OK. I'm sure there will be days when I post to Reddit, PieFed, and Lemmy that will challenge your code's logic.

Until then, nothing wrong with 2x as much gcgallant!
