Ok, this MM format seems to carry more potential for surprises than the brackets last year and I'm loving it so far. The bot's last count (a couple hours before shavinginct's official count) has Chiseled Face, Declaration Grooming and Wholly Kaw tied for last.

I definitely wouldn't have predicted that wholly Kaw could outlast these two and here we are, it's down to tie breakers. I'm also curious to see whether Mammoth's strong showing is due to Monday or the Mafia and it's worth noting that the Talent crew seems to have started bleeding followers despite the total number of participant growing significantly. We'll see, there is still time for stragglers to change the result around the edges.
I had a fantastic shave this morning. AS2EB had interfered with my regular Tabac Tuesdays and I've missed them. There's just something about a totally familiar setup to come back to every once in a while that really appeals to me. Oh, and I love the Stank®.
The Böker with the vicious pointy point is also becoming a favourite. It requires more concentration than my other razors and forces me to slow down and use different geometries.
