Every 3rd Wednesday of the month, we have a Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club meeting. It consists in shaving with the same soap.
We prepare by voting on which soap we want to use well ahead of time and the owner of the winning disk soap sends a sample to each of the participants.
You joined just too late to participate in the October meeting unless you have Narcisse already (it's on Wednesday), but you're welcome to join for November!
Oh, very cool. I don’t have Narcisse, but I’d love to participate next month. 🙂
Great! The suggestion and voting threads will probably come soon. Our master of ceremonies @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social runs a tight ship
Edit: I'm forgetful, ugh. The next one has already been decided as well. It's Stirling Oro Valley. @walden@sub.wetshaving.social, is it too late for @wtharris89@sub.wetshaving.social to get in?
No need, I have a sample of Oro Valley kicking around. :)
Then keep a portion for November 20th!
Sweet.
Sweet, you're all set :)
