Today is the mostly-monthly meeting of the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club, a small group of wetshavers dedicated to an open internet who partake in the open-source versions of Reddit - namely https://sub.wetshaving.social and https://wetshav.ing. There's also an open source chat (in addition to IRC which is also open source?(not sure really, maybe it depends on how its hosted. Maybe an expert can chime in)), https://chat.wetshav.ing.

Anyway, enough boring stuff. I'm a big fan of Fanzine Saponifications. The soap base is easy to use, and the two scents that I've smelled are really great. This one, Caravaggio, is an off-the-shelf dupe of Killian - Dark Lord. Dark Lord is really incredible and I've finished off a sample of it. Caravaggio is Dark Lord adjacent, but excellent in its own right.
