[BVWSC] Inquiry on the state of the March shave (sub.wetshaving.social)

submitted 1 week ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

As of today, I still have not received the smush from @[email protected], and this Wednesday is the last one in March. So, what do we do?

Option 1: We drop the club shave for March, and if we still receive the smushes, maybe convene twice in April.

Option 2: We shave with a soap we all have. We discussed this issue briefly on Free Talk Friday, and the only soap that has a chance to be the common denominator is Tabac. However, I don't know whether everybody here has it, and whether you would be interested in shaving with it in the first place.

Opinions?

I like option 2. If not everyone has Tabac, perhaps there's a soap that most of us have and that we can send to those who are geographically close in time for the first or second Wed. in April. That soap could be Tabac. However, I bet if we listed our BaM, HoM, and Stirling soaps, there's one we all have in common. I mean does anyone not have BaM Seville?

I don't!

I picked Seville because it shows up, along with Le Grand Chypre, on most of the Lather Logs. It’s probably just easier to skip BVWSC this month.
