It’s high time we got started again for our February meeting! Nominate your soap here!
You have until Saturday 4th January, 18:30 CET.
Relating to last month’s vote, I sent smushes to:
@walden@sub.wetshaving.social
@djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social
@DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social
@PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social
@sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social
@snooting@sub.wetshaving.socialThis was the list of voters that came up on rankedchoices.com when I looked at it. I voted last month but did not show up on the list. I’m not sure that a letter will reach someone outside the US between now and Jan 15, but if you think you should receive a smush of Los Jabones de Joserra Noir for BVWSC, let me know, and I will send you one.
Mine arrived today, thanks!
That’s good! This time of year I was worried.
My sample arrived today as well. Thank you!
Just wanted to let you know that my sample arrived here safely today. Thanks for getting it out so quickly in the holiday season! 👍🏻
My sample arrived today, thanks! Looking forward to BVWSC Wednesday
Ethos Grooming Essentials - Dragonsbeard
The Dragonsbeard Aroma Blend is a dark, somewhat gourmand scent perfect for a fall or winter day or night. It combines Authentic Agarwood Oil and Oud Resin with essential oils of East Indian Sandalwood, Amber, Tonka Bean Butter, Madagascar Vanilla Bean Infusion Oil, and White Rose Absolute.
Chicago Grooming Company - Caoba
A nice woody scent. In the old Canard base. I think I have enough left for smushes.
Barrister and Mann – Paganini’s Violin
The world’s best smelling unscented soap!

Barrister and Mann - Lavanille
Many of you may have already tried this, but it’s a favorite of mine that I’d love to share if not!
We blend our version of Mousse de Saxe with lavender, vanilla, cedar, and elegant musk to create a dark, leathery, elegant soap unlike anything seen for nearly a half century.
Wholly Kaw - Cuero Oscuro
A masterful blend of leather, vetiver, cedarwood, tobacco, patchouli, oakmoss and coffee to top it off. Think of rawhide leather scent or boots.
This one’s dank, but a good one. For fans of Midnight Stag, Gearhead, Valley of Ashes and the like. We need some darkness to appreciate the light more. More info by the artisan themself under this link right here
Heck yeah!!! Great time of year for this one!
Zingari Man - Bon Monsieur
Bon Monsieur is a fragrance of pure nostalgia. Having grown up in the 1980s I wanted to create a fragrance that encapsulates my formative years and that pays homage to some of the great fougeres of the time. A hefty dose of a fine lavender absolute and oakmoss form the base of Bon Monsieur. This is indeed a classic gentlemen’s fragrance.
Notes: Lavender, Bergamot, Fir Balsam, Geranium, Oakmoss, Carnation, Lily of the Valley, Cedar, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Musk
Oaken Lab - Batavia Barber
Aroma: 32ºC, Rustling Fan, Worn Leather, Fresh Towel
Notes: Neroli, Bergamot, Orange, Lavender, Jasmine, Moss, Musk, Patchouli, Leather
Aroma: 32ºC, Rustling Fan

Oaken Lab’s scent descriptions are particularly affectatious, but he makes up for it with the actual scents
We all know the scent of a rustling fan. It’s like a fun, only rustling.
