An old Personna razor with an old Personna blade. Magical.

I’ll probably make a standalone announcement post at some point (maybe) but you might notice some slight changes to gem.wetshaving.social if you’re a normal user of that interface (Alexandrite). There was an update with some small changes. I changed a couple of new settings, but I have no idea if it changes those settings for the whole server, or just for me.

The color is slightly darker now. I moved the “hue” slider to make it a bit more purply, closer to what it was before. Nice improvement, I’d say. Personal preference, of course.

There’s an option to open posts entirely when you click them, instead of opening in an “overlay”. I enabled this as it’s my personal preference. If it happens to change that setting for everyone, and you aren’t a fan of that behavior, feel free to let me know and I’ll consider changing it back. Just keep in mind that I’m the HMFIC 'round here and there are no guarantees!
