[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?

You have nothing to apologize for man. I’m sorry you’re dealing with so much, but it’s ultimately just a shave. :)

I hope things start to feel easier for you soon. Pop back in when you can, and best of luck with your studies!

Thank you very much. Fortunately I didn't send the razor head you were asking for with the sample, as I really don't want it to get lost in an uninsured and untracked letter. I hope everything will get easier soon, currently it's just loads of stress in every aspect of my life. Nothing's fun anymore and shaving has also turned into a chore again.

I'll do my best
