A lot of new groups are popping up on B&B - Face Latherers, Single Edge, Open Comb, to name a few.
One thing that seems to be missing are some software related groups so I'll announce the formation of BOTSS, or Brotherhood of Tallow Shave Soaps.
WHY? To give some visibility to traditional wet shavers who prefer tallow based shaving soaps.
IMHO Tallow based shave soaps provide dense, slick, stable, "gooey" lather that other formulations do not.
You don't have to exclusively use tallow based shave soaps but if a good number of your favorites contain tallow please consider joining.
WHO? All fans of tallow based shave soaps are invited to join.
Whether your tastes run from Arko to Valobra, big name brands or artisan soaps, new or vintage, if you dig the tallow based shave soaps, you certainly qualify.
WHAT is required? Not much. Testify about your fondness for your favorites in this thread. Rave about a particularly great shave. Post pics. Have fun!
IF you want to add a BOTSS to your signature feel free.
Who knows? Perhaps joining BOTSS will prevent a great soap from being reformulated into junk.
