Brew With Community

Thursday, July 23 at 10:00 PM (Rome time).

Well... as the title suggests, there will be an event. But forgive me if some things that are obvious to others aren't obvious to me. I'm brand new to this subreddit, and I was wondering what the event actually involves. Do we all create our own posts at the same time, or do the moderators make a single post where we all comment and attach photos of what we're brewing at that moment?

Dear r/Wicked_edge community,

I always enjoy scrolling through this subreddit and seeing the products you use, especially when I come across products I had no idea even existed, only to later discover that they are true classics in a given country, with their history and a tradition rooted in people’s homes.

That made me wonder What are, in your country, the classic cornerstone shaving products? I mean locally made historic products that have accompanied generations of people both in their homes and at their trusted barber.

To give you an example, I’m Italian.

In Italy a cornerstone is the Ludovico Martelli line with Proraso. Floïd and Valobra (Floïd of course is Spanish, but for as long as I can remember it has been part of the collective imagination here; it has been, and still is, the iconic barbershop aftershave par excellence. Valobra unfortunately today only makes bath soaps, but in the past it produced an excellent almond shaving soap, highly appreciated).

And of course also Cella Milano, another timeless classic of Italian barbershops.

For completeness, there are also more supermarket or mass market realities such as Mirato S.p.A., with aftershaves like Malizia and Intesa, and MilMil 76 S.p.A. (Figaro).

I would really like to hear from people in other countries what their equivalents are, those local historic and well established products that I may not know but that are widely known, used, and appreciated in your country, passed down through generations.

Hello everyone, Wicked Edge community!

I've just started participating in the group, and seeing the wide variety of products we use, a question came to mind:

If, for the next 10 years, you had to choose and use only one brush, one shaving soap, one razor, one type of blade, and one aftershave, what would your choices be?

I'm curious to read your combinations and the reasons behind each choice!

Salve a tutti, potreste darmi una mano a scegliere uno tra questi libri? Sono indeciso nel scegliere quale sarà il prossimo che leggerò così anziché fare una scelta randomica ho voluto chiedere a voi. Avrei voluto fare un sondaggio, ma le opzioni sono limitate (max 6 caselle) e non mi é possibile re-postare un sondaggio da altri subreddit con funzionalità molto più customizzabili.

Cosi vi faro una lista generale:

- I racconti di Edgar Allan Poe

- Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

- Fëdor Dostoevskij, I demoni

- Gustave Flaubert, Madame Bovary

- Victor Hugo, Notre-Dame de Paris

- Stendhal, La Certosa di Parma

- Stendhal, Il rosso e il nero

- Stephen King, Shining

- Jane Austen, Orgoglio e pregiudizio

- Fëdor Dostoevskij, Delitto e castigo

- Lev Tolstoj, Guerra e pace

Vi ringrazio in anticipo per la disponibilità.
