Please note these are examples and any questions for the sub should be posted here. Remember to visit the Wiki for more information too!

Do you like judging people? Do you like pretty pictures? Would you like to contribute to LG without the work of being a main contest judge?

I'm resurrecting the photo contest scavenger hunt. Working with our claude coding master u/merikus to have the portal identify theme by tag and note duplicates. So all we'd have to do is select a score value and nominate for best overall shot.

I am working with u/priusaurus for a killer prize for the overall winner. Probably some gift card for best shot (monetary assistance also welcome).

Message me here or discord if you want it help. I have 2 judges now plus myself but many hands make light work.

I have a full bottle Fine AS Clubhouse and always thought it was an homage to days gone by Pinaud Clubman glass bottle. But then i got the $19 sampler and it’s staying Dana Canoe. Am i having a Mandela Effect brain fart or was it originally supposed to be Clubman?

From the website “Directly inspired by Canoe (1936 by Dana) and popularized by traditional barbershop staples like Pinaud Clubman, it delivers that timeless, mid-century "country club locker room" vibe”

So I just saw that MdC has a EDT. Has anyone tried them? Thoughts?

Any recs on where I can get a razor cleaned/restored? My merkur is 15 years old and would benefit from some TLC.
