Congratulations to @walden@sub.wetshaving.social. I hope that he will be able to drop waffles and beer, expedite his vacation, and send out the smushes.

Sextidi 16 Vendémiaire an 234 de la Révolution, jour de Belle de nuit


I need to improve my heap of samples I have from the BVWSC. I had a sample flying around, which was closest to a paper with Ethos Grooming Essentials. I killed the sample, and I had slight fragburn. Was it Dragonsbeard? Who knows!

Have a good evening!

I got mail that looks suspiciously like a BVWSC smush!

HAGS Megalodon

I don't care what you think, but I discovered that it smells like Glühwein. We need that for November.

Duodi 12 Vendémiaire an 234 de la Révolution, jour d'Immortelle


I was tired, and so I tried a mid-afternoon shave to wake me up. I nicked myself into the nostril, so probably that didn't work out as expected.

It's been a while since I last used Entropy Man – it never really vibed for me, but this time I kind of got it.

Greetings to the good people on zulip, and a nice day to everyone!

It's time to prep for November – nominate your soap here.

Nominate your soap here before Friday morning.

[BVWSC] October edition (sub.wetshaving.social)

Just a question with respect to October: Is there still a Tabactoberfest going on? And should we still do a BVWSC installment, with some people simply adding a luxury shave?

Thanks for your input.

In summer, you cannot even trust the Swiss postal services. It's therefore time to get started for our September prep! Nominate your soap below; nominations close on Saturday evening 22:00 CEST.

And a question to you: since tariff-apocalypse will hit before our next installment of BVWSC (unless 🌮), do you know how this would work with smushes sent to the US? Until now, I declared truthfully that the letters contained something else than ink and paper, but I wouldn't want you to be hit with a 120$ minimum tariff upon receipt of your smush. And I cannot seem to be unable to find reliable sources on this issue.

BVWSC Reøinder: Wednesday the day (sub.wetshaving.social)

Prepare your smushes and don't forget!

June will be busy, so lets get this out of the way while it still is May.

Nominate your soap here; proposals close Monday 26th of May, 15:30 CEST.

[BVWSC Reminder] (sub.wetshaving.social)

This Wednesday is the day, so start blooming your smush!

I was wondering about the immediate sequel: Our Mayday shave is set, and I guess in June, there will be the Lather Games. Is this correct, and do we go on hiatus, just as we did last year for August?

4

It is time again to suggest your soaps for the May edition!

Proposals close on Friday 4, 12:00 MEST.

That's really not your fault, and BVWSC has already had to delay because of the unreliability of - Swiss postal services 🇨🇭🇨🇭

It will happen again. No reason to apologize!

As of today, I still have not received the smush from @DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social, 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?

It is time again to prepare for the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club April edition, which will take place on April 16. Nominate your soap here!

For those new here: we choose a soap, the lucky proponent sends smushes out to all participants, and we all shave with the same soap on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. If you want to join: simply nominate a soap, and vote for a winner!

Proposal thread remains open until Sunday March 2, 22:30 CET (whatever that is where you live).

Primidi 1 Ventôse an 233 de la Révolution, jour de Tussilage


It's the first day of the Windy month, and also, BVWSC!

@gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social's Dragonsbeard is an intriguing scent: it reminded me somewhat of Telegrama, by Imaginary Authors – which must be the vanilla, because otherwise, there doesn't seem any scent in common. It is slightly spicy and woody, and I like it!

This time, after my problems last time, I was prudent enough to use a synthetic brush, and it was easy to lather (even though it drowned it slightly). Improvements!

Have a good evening!

Edit: I fat-fingered the soap – obviously it was Dragonsbeard

It's time again!

  • Grab your smush (mandatory)
  • Heat up your scuttle (optional)
  • Hone your razor (optional)
  • Moisten your brush (strongly recommended)

I don't really know why, but this razor somehow fits me. It is on the lighter side, but not small. And it is shiny 😍

Have a good evening!

I took out the frio today – a surprisingly light razor, given its size, and very sharp. I should use it more regularly.

Have a good evening!

I'm less tired than yesterday, but it's still an effort moving around in the flat.

Have a good evening!
