I got a sample by you for... January edition? A soap by Wooly Wash Soapery. I mean, December wouldn't have worked out anyway for me, but I'd still partake in January. So thanks for the sample! Unfortunately the soap got squeezed out of the foil and has stained the letter considerably. But don't worry, it's still enough for one good use!

Woolly Wash is for December, I just mistyped the info sheet that I sent along.

Bummer that the soap squished out, Iโ€™d hoped the plastic would preserve the smush more effectively!

Ah, that clears everything up! I'll try to partake this month then. Is it on Christmas Eve/the 24th?

Don't worry, there's no winning against the lack of care of postal services. They squeeze letters in really tight boxes without second thought. Maybe necessarily so, but this isn't ideal for shaving soap samples. There's still enough soap for at least 6 passes and I actually got a very nicely smelling letter from you this way ๐Ÿ˜‰

I know at least @porkbuttsntaters666@sub.wetshaving.social is still waiting for it to arrive.

We had talked about moving it to either 12/21 or 12/24, but I think 12/21 is out because of โ˜๏ธ.
