I know that @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social, @walden@sub.wetshaving.social, and @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social have received their Old Strathcona smushes.

I just wanted to make sure that @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social, @DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social, and @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social received one as well. I can’t remember if you already sent me something.

Yayy, winner++;

@walden@sub.wetshaving.social, @gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social, @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social, do I have your permission to share your addresses with sahenders?

I’m not pinging DaveWave94 because sahenders already knows his deets.

Hooray for Old Strathcona! 🥳 Very interesting choices this time again. It was difficult to pick just one first spot, so I went by my gut feeling. Now I’m really looking forward to trying MacDuffs soap! The scent description sounds very intriguing already. I love barbershop scents with a unique twist, so this could be right up my alley. Thanks to everyone for voting and to @sahenders@wetshaving.social for nominating the winning soap!

FYI: I screwed up the name of the soap - the B&M soap is Lavanille.
