They can check existing code. You have to be able to trust people who are contributing.

They can check new code by these risky people as it comes in, but it why risk it?

Frag burn stinks. I don't think Pomona burned me, but Stirling Barbershop did. I've had other scents give me a burn/tingle, but nothing like Stirling Barbershop... that was really bad.

Lemmy isn't immune to bans for people speaking their mind or promoting violence. It happens all the time.

I killed my tub of OG Roam so can't send a smush, but I can tell you they're very different. Both are great, and I'm not sure if I have a favorite between the two of them.

No such resource exists that I know of. You just have to browse for what looks the same, compare loft, etc.

The B21 that you have might be unique to The Gentle Shave since he talks about some customization.

I have a B2 which is very similar, but a plastic handle covered with aluminum. I really like it.

The B21, B2 etc names are specific to The Gentle Shave who sells them in the US. Pretty smart business move! You can get the same brushes cheaper from Europe, but the B2 for example is really called B03-A26. Good luck remembering and recommending that to friends!

Noticed some pokey hairs so spent a few minutes after the shave sussing them out with a pair of tweezers. We'll see next time if it made any difference.

I've been seeing lots of weather alerts about low humidity creating dangerous fire conditions, so figured I'd use two balm products, one thicker than the other.

And as a bonus, presumably you have a nice file filled with historic dates and times!
