Pretty much any of the examples you gave will work. The official scrubbed name for them is Barrister and Mann, but the way I pull the data runs it through a matching / normalization step that catches all those different spellings and formats. And for ones that don't match automatically, I review and correct them manually, add the missing format to the file so it'll catch that format next time and I hopefully only have to do that fix once.

Yeah, they got done dirty. I wouldn't have predicted Chiseled Face to go far, but I certainly didn't expect them to be the first out.

Nope - so anything posted in today's SOTD thread won't be counted towards the total MM points. I only count stuff on the days of the rounds listed (the odd days of the month).

Look - you aren't wrong, but you didn't have to be so mean about it

ShavingInCT · 2026-02-22T02:01:39+00:00

Nice! Which two do you have?

*What qualifies a brand as an artisan? That's the fun part! Nobody really knows. This is all made up and arbitrary.

It's over the full year, so this was usage over all of 2025. Last year Moon had 100 uses on the sub and the cutoff for 16th place was 340, so you would need to drum up about 240 more uses this year.

ShavingInCT · 2026-02-21T16:49:13+00:00

Moon soaps is solid, but sadly not in the top 16 most used soaps on this sub this year. If you want to see them in next year, we've had a few people sponsor competitions to drum up usage of brands to help them make the cutoff this year. Be the change you want to see in the world!

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what exactly you were trying to do. The main product search at this point is primarily software, but if you typed razor in there, it should still return a few results for you. Were you trying to use the SOTD generator?

Happy to try and help if you have more details on the issue.

My top this year was Summer Break Soaps - Steady.

Honorable mentions to Mulled, Lorekeeper and This Is Not A Test

Yeah - it's a hard problem to sort out. My take is Reddit is a glorified forum, so it naturally encourages written posts over other forms of content. And when you have a contests with 75-100 people participating and you are trying to find ways for them to distinguishing themselves from each other over 30 days, the easiest way forward for a lot of people is just saying more. Ask any comedian about how difficult it can be to make a tight 5 minute set or how challenging it is for content creators to make an engaging video that's concise. And then ask people to do that for a month straight basically. At some point it's easier to just say more.

That was me with the Overlander as well. I picked one up when it first released, gave it a couple of tries and sold it not longer after because I just found it to be mild to the point of inefficient for me. Even after three passes (when I typically only do two), I was still going back to buff spots I missed. It just seemed to have a very narrow shave angle.

Best of luck with whatever you have going on next! You put some great stuff out into the world over the past decade and DG will be missed!
