Great shave, and should be my 10th use of Fanzine this month. If memory serves, this should ensure my placement in the runnings for some sort of prize!

I did some revamping of how things are cross-posted amongst my various wetshaving services (the Shaving Data System, Zulip Chat, etc.). There should be fewer problems with things getting cut off :-) @gcgallant@wetshav.ing this should fix what I was talking about a day or two ago.

I also finally managed to get the Zulip chat to store files in hosted object storage instead of local storage, which is much cheaper and better for the long term.
