Just to be pedantic – you’d call it “this wednesday” instead of “next wednesday”, even though it is technically the next Wednesday. English do be like that. I found this nice explanation:
Strictly speaking you would say "this coming Wednesday"for future events, and "this past Wednesday"for events in the past - but in most situations "future" and "past" tend to be omitted, as the timeline is implied by the context.
I went to the gym this Wednesday.
I will go to the gym this Wedneday.
Actually, this is super helpful - especially the little textbox explanation about coming/past Wednesday. Makes sense to me as we also have “kommenden Mittwoch” und “vergangenen Mittwoch” in german 👍🏻
We prepare by voting on which soap we want to use well ahead of time and the owner of the winning disk soap sends a sample to each of the participants.
You joined just too late to participate in the October meeting unless you have Narcisse already (it’s on Wednesday), but you’re welcome to join for November!

What is BVWSC shave?
Every 3rd Wednesday of the month, we have a Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club meeting. It consists in shaving with the same soap.
We prepare by voting on which soap we want to use well ahead of time and the owner of the winning disk soap sends a sample to each of the participants.

Oh, very cool. I don’t have Narcisse, but I’d love to participate next month. 🙂
Great! The suggestion and voting threads will probably come soon. Our master of ceremonies @PorkButtsNTaters666@sub.wetshaving.social runs a tight ship
Edit: I’m forgetful, ugh. The next one has already been decided as well. It’s Stirling Oro Valley. @walden@sub.wetshaving.social, is it too late for @wtharris89@sub.wetshaving.social to get in?
No need, I have a sample of Oro Valley kicking around. :)
Then keep a portion for November 20th!
Sweet.
Sweet, you’re all set :)
It’s the Buena Vista Wetshaving Social Club shave - on the 3rd Wedesday of the mrnth, we shave with a soap we voted for together.
Woop.
I’m ready and raring and will probably mess it up. But you know me. I’ll get there
Yes! Thanks for the reminder!
