As the winner of the March edition of the BVWSC, I was duty-bound to send soap smushes to my fellow shavers across the pond. Alas, as I am writing this, there is no legal and/or financially viable way of getting soap samples (or any letter, for that matter) from France to the USA.

Therefore, the BVWSC in its current form is dead. There has also been a notable decrease in interest, so maybe this is just the right opportunity to say farewell.

On the other hand, we might find a way of continuing the community event, but in a different form. Our go-to has been the Tabac edition – which seems to be the only type of gear every self-~~hating~~respecting wetshaver has. Or we could do something else.

So, what shall we do?

As a newcomer to this community (and wetshaving as a whole) I have basically no idea what the BVWSC is all about. Up until today I thought it was only for people living in or near Buena Vista. Is there some post or wiki where I can learn more about what this is?

When we starting this Fediverse stuff a couple of years ago, someone came up with the idea of having a monthly "event" since we are such a small community. A lot of us crosspost our shaves to other places like Reddit and Discord chats, so the hope was also to bring attention to the existence of the shaving fediverse.

And so, we started the BVWSC. Every month everyone who wanted to participate nominated a soap from their den. Then everyone would vote, and the winner would prepare close to 10 smushes and send them around the world. We'd all shave with the same soap on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
