    I will be taking an 11 month hiatus from shaving twice-daily. This evening was the last shave of this year’s BBS November. Apparently, this started as a conversation between u/VisceralWatch and @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social. I don’t know if others were involved. If you’re wondering what it’s like, well, if you can shave daily, you can do this. I mean if I can do this, how hard can it be?

    Hiatus, the soap, uses the Crème Fraîche base. This is top-tier, and wonderful to use. I very much appreciate how Sri continues to improve his products. Another small business appreciation shave for me.

    … And We Out

      Yes, I was doing a few Second Luxury Shaves® in October 2021, (i.e., the dark ages before the creation of TabOktoberfest), and VisceralWatch commented on it. It got me wondering whether shaving twice a day is really as big of a deal as some make it out to be, and the rest is history🙂

        I was lurking on r/Wetshaving in 2021, but don’t recall whether I saw this or not. I certainly noticed in 2022 and thought it would be a great way to get skin irritation. I answered my own question this year. I’d say my skin today is as good, or better, than it was on Nov 1.
