The first edition stil has not taken place (maybe this Wednesday?), but given that even the Swiss postal service cannot be relied upon any more, we should get going for the preparation for September.
We could proceed like last time and everybody nominates a soap; we could also make it a turning presidency, and we simply decide who sends out the soap this time (and we let that person choose).
PS: Since I’m in Paris, and the Olympic (and Paralolympic) Games will be starting next Friday and last until September, I think it would be safer if this time, it isn’t me who sends out samples.
I think that an early preparation is a very good move, thanks! Probably leaves us more time for voting, since if I’m not mistaken, the next installment would only take place in late September?
I plan to stay a permanent addition to the BVWSC and since I’m based in Germany, I could easily send out soap samples to 3 other members:
Personally, I like the democratic voting process a bit more. It also gives us a few options to choose from and the european members can coordinate better with the US members. Shipping to and from the US is an expensive nightmare, so if we choose any soap that one of us four euro folks already owns it’d be better if we help out with sending samples regardless of what model we adapt for BVWSC.
With that being said, I nominate: Moon Soaps Union (barbershop scent with a slight touch of menthol).
