Today is a meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. We’re using good ol’ Tabac Original, in part, as a protest against Big Postal and international shipping cartels. :)

As far as the ASS-HOLE TLC contest, I’m taking an airbud for the day, though using Varen as a 50% scent match was tempting.

We’re using Tabac for this month’s installment of BVWSC. Always an excellent shave with the Stank Tank. I know the scent is often considered divisive, but everyone who doesn’t like it is just plain wrong. ;)

Nice shave. Today is the monthly meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club. Designed around sending smushes all over the world to try new things, as of late we’ve been using Tabac because of international mailing fuckery. Thanks, Obama.

Participants are a group of shavers who decided they’d give the Fediverse a try. There are multiple things to pick from, but most of us are leaning towards PieFed as the go to back end. PieFed is available at https://wetshav.ing. Lemmy is available at https://sub.wetshaving.social, and Mastodon is available at https://wetshaving.social.

This SOTD post will probably get me banned from Reddit. Such is life.
