A little late getting this out because of another brutal last week of the month. But you guys don't want to hear about that. You are here because you are interested in what soap themes we will have for the month! I am sure you all know what part of the month will be...but what about the rest of it?

July 1 - July 14: ABC as easy as 123! (Part 2) - As a child who started his schooling during the 70s, there are some things that I remember that are sort of odd. One of these things is the way I was taught my alphabet. You see, during the 70s, there was this PBS show, called The Letter People. They were a very odd assortment of characters, and honestly, I didn't remember much about them other than I enjoyed that sort of device to learn my letters. But learning that A, E, I, O, U were vowels...and sometimes Y. I often had to wonder about Y. 🤪 Anyway, you guys know the drill. Pick a soap or cream that somehow fits the letter of the day....scent, maker, name of the soap, something about the soap that makes you think of the letter...whatever you come up with. We are fast a loose here at the Cadre and pretty much everything fits! The 4th of July we will take a break for a 4th of July Shave!

Here are the letters that correspond to the day!
  • 1 - O
  • 2 - P
  • 3 - Q
  • 4 - 4th of July Shave
  • 5 - R
  • 6 - S
  • 7 - T
  • 8 - U
  • 9 - V
  • 10 - W
  • 11 - X
  • 12 - Y
  • 13 - Z
  • 14 - Missed Letter Day

As said earlier...July 4 is reserved for your favorite Fourth of July Shave! Also, on the July 14th, we will finish the theme out with a letter that you may have missed!

July 4: Fourth of July Shave - Give us your best...USA, USA, USA! Or how about your best...'Merica! Show us how to shave like our Founding Fathers would have! Speckle your shave in Red, White, and Blue! We want to see it...we want to hear about it! Of course here at TSC we understand that we have a good number of International Cadre scattered around the world! Feel free to show how proud you are of your homeland!

July 15 - July 21: It is TSC Artisan week again! - TSC Proudly supports its Artisans...as its Artisans support TSC. This week I think many of us will get involved and I expect a record turnout on the thread! This week is dedicated to a company that does a lot for TSC and I for one want to show my appreciation! This week we are honoring CBL Premium Shave Soap @CBLSoap.com created by our very own...well owner... @CBLindsay ! I know many of us have a healthy supply of CBL Premium Shave Soap...if you don't have a tub...and you want one! This gives you time to see about trying a sample or grabbing a tub or two!

July 22 - July 28: Citrus Week - It's a hot one out there, so pour yourself a large glass of lemonade, or maybe Iced Tea is your thing. So add a cut of lemon to your tea. I for one will like go with a Long Island Iced tea...or quite possibly...a Mojito! Either way...it is hot out there, and refreshing citrus definitely goes with the heat! So pull out your lemon soaps, your lime creams...pull out the tangerine, the grapefruit, satsuma, and the pomelo! Splash on handfuls of Florida Water! It's Citrus Week at TSC!

July 29 - August 4: Samples Week - We close out this month and begin the next month with a week to show case all those samples we have, we want to get to, but haven't had a chance! What? You say that you don't have any samples to shave with? Really? Is this even a thing? (I think not) But just in case on of the Cadre lacks a sample or two of soap or cream (I seriously doubt this though) we have you covered and you have time to get in on it! Check out the Soap Sample Swap were there are a ton of samples to trade with. Seriously...I think there has to be more than 100 different flavors...if not...it's really close. Anyway....we want to usher August in by using up some of your stock or trying out something new!


Well there it is Cadre! I hope you enjoy the month! I know I will!
 
I’m all in for at least the ABC themes and CBL soaps. I have a few citrus ones that will come out but I recently took almost all the samples I had and started putting a clown puke soap together.

I am actually a little lacking in samples myself right now...but I still have plenty for that week!
 
@DocHoliday0831 I probably have enough samples to get thru a week but I would think a clown puke made up of samples would work just as well. Just call it a different sample each day that was put into it 😜
 
Nice selection Don! I’ll be participating much more heavily than I have in the past. This’ll be a fun month.

I don’t know what soap I had planned for today, since my list is at work, but because I was at Lake of the Ozarks over the weekend, this is what I grabbed. And I didn’t plan it, but everything I grabbed today was an O.
