So far you've found 2 annoying things with the new front end. You should be a professional bug finder.

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. https://gem.wetshaving.social doesn't have an image button. Weird.

You can upload directly to our server, no need for imgur etc., but you might have to stick to https://sub.wetshaving.social or a phone app or whatever else you prefer.

Yeah there's an annoying thing where sometimes you have to select the language from the drop-down box. We have one language option here, "undetermined".

Wonderful shave. This knot was relatively inexpensive (I think I actually got it for something like $10 from an artisan who was trying to get rid of some extraneous stuff), but it feels really nice. It doesn't have any gel, but it's good and soft while still letting you feel that something is there. I typically prefer the Maggard Silvertip to this one, but it depends on the day.

That makes sense. Likely more accurate than a phone sensor.

How are you guys measuring the bevel? Can you just lay it flat, set your phone on top and use one of those measurement apps?

Just to be pedantic -- you'd call it "this wednesday" instead of "next wednesday", even though it is technically the next Wednesday. English do be like that. I found this nice explanation:

Strictly speaking you would say "this coming Wednesday" for future events, and "this past Wednesday" for events in the past - but in most situations "future" and "past" tend to be omitted, as the timeline is implied by the context.
I went to the gym this Wednesday.
I will go to the gym this Wedneday.

Thanks for the reminder!

I notice the same thing. I think it's because they are busy moving it from a distant warehouse to one closer to you, because you can't possibly keep all of the same crap in all of the warehouses. So it's being transported, but not "shipped", allowing them to take longer.

Is Stirling so good because it's excellent soap, or is it so good because I use it frequently and know exactly how to lather it? Probably the first thing.
